For the sake of your skin, aim for once a day. A quick wipe-down in the evening is a perfect habit. This removes the daily buildup of oils, makeup, and bacteria before it can cause problems. If you use your phone while applying skincare or makeup, give it a wipe right after. If you’ve been sick or are in a very dusty environment, clean it more often.
Absolutely! Your skin changes with your life. Things like the seasons, your stress levels, your hormones as you age, and even your diet can shift your skin type. You might be oilier in summer and drier in winter. That’s why it’s smart to check in with your skin every now and then, especially when the weather changes or if you start a new life chapter. Your skincare strategy should be flexible enough to adapt with you.
No, you don’t need to double-wash! If you’re heading straight to the showers, just do your full face routine there. Wait until you’re in the shower to wash your face with your cleanser. This avoids irritating your skin by washing it multiple times. Just remember to turn the water temperature down for your face—super hot water can be drying and harsh, so lukewarm is always best for your skin.
Stick with it for at least one month, but ideally for 6 to 8 weeks. This gives your skin the full cycle it needs to renew itself. Jumping to a new product every week confuses your skin and makes it hard to know what’s working. If you haven’t seen any positive change after two months of steady use, it’s probably safe to say that particular product isn’t your perfect match.
