Too often in life, less is more! This is especially true when it comes to your skincare routine. When was the last time you did a skincare edit, a thorough declutter of your skincare products draw?
Decluttering your skincare routine allows for the most appropriate products to come to the forefront and shine, whilst also eliminating the half-used bottles and tubes cluttering your routine, which become past their ideal 'use by date' and also irrelevant for your skins current condition.
Before looking to your bathroom vanity cabinet or cosmetics bag however, it is worthy to begin your skincare detox by first really assessing your skin condition, together with any concerns and needs that you would like to address and correct.
Then simply KIS (keep it simple) and plan the most suitable daily skincare routine to help you achieve your skin goals.
Knowing your needs and the required products that will best help your skin condition is essential! From here you can identify any potential gaps in your skincare products that you may need to help you target your concerns, to also restructure and streamline your routine, and really work towards hitting your skin goals. All the while, you are detoxing your skin of all products lingering, that no longer serve you!
Be mindful of toxic skincare chemicals, which can have harmful and long-term effects on internal health systems and also contribute towards numerous skin condition flare ups, such as skin rashes or dermatitis. This important consideration should be part of your skincare edit, and you will find a list of common Toxic Skincare Offenders to assist you on our website!
Your skin will soon be thriving! Removing any half spent, 'stale', oxidized and mismatched products and streamlining your routine with skin goal specific, on point ingredients and products is such an uplifting and motivating process!
Ideally you should prioritise a skincare edit and declutter your skincare routine each time you replenish your baseline skincare products, or at every six months to annually.
