I am on a skincare diet and it is working well.

In the past, I used to fill out a full five or six-step routine, starting with toner and going all the way to ampoule, serum, lotion, and cream. However, I noticed that my pores were getting clogged and I was getting frequent breakouts, so I drastically reduced the number of steps. I switched to applying just a hydrating ampoule right after cleansing and finishing with a thin layer of barrier cream, and surprisingly, my skin felt more comfortable and my breakouts completely cleared up. I realized that applying too much can actually be harmful.
