Tried a "skin diet"? Cutting your routine: better or worse?
The skin diet, or minimal routine, keeps coming back as a topic: instead of ten steps, just cleanse, moisturise and sunscreen. Community reactions are pretty split.
"It got better" stories
- Irritation from layering overlapping products went away
- It became easier to spot what triggers breakouts
- A shorter morning made people more consistent
"It got worse" stories
- Dry skin felt tight once moisturising steps were cut
- Dropping acne actives brought breakouts back
- The extreme "nothing at all" approach did not work
The conclusion people often land on
- Cut products that do the same job, not the moisture and sun protection you need
- If something is prescribed, do not stop on your own; bring it up at your next appointment
How many steps is your routine right now? Did anything change when you trimmed it?
