Driven by a desire to improve my skin, I used to obsessively apply over five or six steps of skincare—including toner, essence, ampoule, serum, and cream. However, at some point, I noticed my skin couldn't fully absorb all these nutrients; they just sat on the surface, causing small breakouts to appear. Seeing this, I boldly decided to go on a routine diet. I omitted everything except for the two essentials: a hydrating toner and a barrier cream. For the first two days, my skin felt strangely empty and dry, but after a week, it actually began to find its balance on its own. Watching the excess oiliness from over-nutrients diminish and my skin become clearer, I am personally realizing the truth that sometimes, removing unnecessary products can lead to better care.
