Does extensive skincare work?
Does it work well for people who do it?
Because my whole life I didn't have any bad skin issues and for more than half of that life I didn't even apply moisturizer to my face. I just washed my face with just water; and with cleanser if i went out. And one or two pimples popped out a few times, I didn't pop it or anything it just went away. The only time I tried skincare was when I was dating my ex because he made me fucking insecure about normal skin texture, and at that time I used to have horrible breakouts. Now I do apply moisturizer after I cleanse my face and that's it.
it's a case-to-case basis and genetics play a huge factor but that aside, my skincare is basically ”less is more”. i do cleanse, toner, moisturizer, and sunscreen then i just call it a day. sometimes when im lazy and inside, i just double cleanse then that's it. my skin isn't perfect but i haven't had horrible breakouts ever since i turned teen...... reply
Yes. It does. I used to be like you: just plain water and soap these often result in pimples and black head, scars and just skin looking really gross when you put make up on even if I use hydrating cream, oil with vitaming and healing effects & primer. Soap and water aren't enough to clean the pores and treat dry and oily skin btw. Even if you're p...... reply
honestly the best skin i have had was when my gut was CLEAN and my protein intake was spot on and I had quit processed sugar completely and my sleep schedule was banging and i took 8-10 hrs sleep daily, along with me working out 30 mins a day atleast and when i was walking 10K steps a day. that being said, yes, skincare works but only when you're l...... 1 reply
As someone who used to splurge a lot on skin care.. just honestly do the basics. Cleansing, moisturizing, sunscreen.. that's it. Please do NOT experiment on combining products in one routine since some of them can do more harm than good (e.g multiple acids.. that shit will FRY your skin). Do your research, and consult a dermatologist as much as pos...... reply
Actually, washing your face and using Sunscreen everyday is enough without any skincare routine.
Skincare routine depends on what you’re trying to achieve with your skin. Since I got a normal skin type, I don’t use many products. Less is good to be honest and consistency.
Moisturiser and Sunscreen is a must for me. Plus Hyaluronic and Niacin...... reply
I think it's very effective, i used to use sunscreen, moisturizer and vitamin c, There was a huge difference after months, but after i stopped because mom took them it came back like i have never used them, so you have to use it in the right way and be patient for the result ( sorry for making this about me lol , i'm so mad because i worked hard fo...... reply
You should definitely use the basics like cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen. I recommend finding you skin type and buy skincare made for your skin type for less risk of breaking out. If you use a product that is not made for you or one that has harsh pH then it will definitely clogged your pores and cause breakouts. Personally I only use oil cle...... reply
Uhhh similar situation! Since secondary school I've grown up and seen people's faces break out but I've never had mine done so and I never touched any skincare products. As I got older I thought the process was fun though lol so I tried some.
-Facemasks
I'm not sure of the purpose for face masks since I don't see a difference but again, fun.
-Cle...... reply
if you don't really have any skin problem, you don't need to use many active ingredient. like other reply said, moisturizer, vit c, and sunscreen is enough. i like to add a pore cleansing mask and use them like once a week but yeah that's basically it. imo rather than spending money on skincare, i think you better get skin treatment like booster or...... 1 reply
