12 Step skincare routine: Is it actually working for you?

Written By Heather Adessa

The 12-step skincare routine has become the norm, but how much does your skin actually need? With cleansers, serums, acids, oils, masks, and more competing for space on your bathroom shelf, skincare can quickly become complicated.

In this episode, I’m taking a closer look at how we got here, why skincare became so focused on doing more, and what happens when our routines start taking over our time, money, and attention.

∴ IN THIS EPISODE, I’M TALKING ABOUT:

  • How many steps should a skincare routine have?

  • How many skincare products is too many?

  • What does a 12-step skincare routine actually involve?

  • Am I using too many actives in my skincare?

  • Is my skincare routine complicated?

  • How can I simplify my skincare routine?

  • Too many actives on my face.
