There are two types of skincare advice. The helpful kind. And the kind that makes you think you need 14 products, a skincare fridge, and a science degree just to wash your face. So let's forget all that. Here are the skincare rules we actually wish someone had told us sooner.

You spend an hour doing your skincare routine. You drink water. You avoid chocolate because someone on TikTok told you to. You sleep early. You practically beg your skin to behave. …and you wake up with a breakout. Then one random Tuesday happens. You fall asleep watching Netflix. Forget half your routine. Wake up five minutes before school. Look in the mirror...

We don't need to see your camera roll. We already know what's in there. Somewhere between the blurry screenshots, outfit selfies, random photos of the sky, and pictures you accidentally took while trying to lock your phone... your camera roll is secretly exposing you. Including your skincare habits. Let's investigate.

Let's clear something up. Because somewhere along the way, a rumour started spreading through schools, group chats, TikTok comments, and skincare videos: "I can't use moisturiser. My skin is already oily." And somehow... everyone believed it. If you've ever looked at your shiny forehead and thought, "The last thing I need is MORE moisture," this blog is for you.

Picture this. It's 11:47pm. You're in bed. Your makeup is still on. You've already wrapped yourself in the blanket burrito. And suddenly you remember... "Oops." Your skincare.

You know that moment when your skin is finally behaving? It feels clear, smooth, like it’s finally glowing a bit! You’re like: “Wait… am I becoming one of those people with good skin??” and then suddenly? In come the breakouts and the chaos. Yeah. We need to talk about that.

Okay, we need to be honest with you. We’ve been giving you routines, tips, “do this, don’t do that”… but no one has actually asked the most important question:

Ok… we know we’ve been talking to you about acne, giving you routines for stressful times, telling you what to use, when to use it, how to fix it… But we need to remind you of something. Not everything your skin does is a problem.

Be honest. At some point you’ve thought: “Wait… why do I have 7 steps?” Cleanser. Toner. Serum. Another serum. Something you saw on TikTok. Something your friend told you to try. And now your skincare routine feels like a group project you didn’t sign up for (We’ve all been there). Yeah… no. That’s can’t work...

Ever notice how your skin sometimes reacts to something days later? Like: you tried a new product on Monday your skin looked fine Tuesday then suddenly… breakout on Thursday And you’re like: “Where did THAT come from??”
