I’m over useless skincare. But how can I take care of my face?
Enter what I call ‘no-skincare skincare’ – things that support the skin without disturbing it
TL;DR
- The skincare industry often uses religious language to promote products, but skin is inherently self-sufficient.
- Excessive topical products can stress and damage the skin's barrier and microbiome, leading to various issues.
- 'No-skincare skincare' focuses on lifestyle choices that support skin functions, such as diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management.
- Essential lifestyle practices include eating salmon, exercising, spending time outdoors, meditating, sleeping well, using a humidifier, and taking Vitamin C.
- Necessary topical products are minimal, including sunscreen, a gentle cleanser for SPF removal, and moisturizer if needed; persistent issues require a dermatologist.
