Five minutes of skin care beats fifty minutes you won't do

Clients regularly arrive with eleven products and worse skin than clients who own three. Compliance beats sophistication every single time.

The three that matter

A cleanser you do not dread using, one treatment for your actual main concern, and a moisturiser with sunscreen in the morning. That is a complete routine for most people.

Why more fails

Every product you add is another chance to react, another interaction to manage, and another step you will skip when you are tired. Skipping steps inconsistently is worse for skin than a simpler routine done every day.

When to add something

Add one product at a time, and only after six weeks of consistency with what you already have. If you cannot say what a product is for, it should not be in your routine.
