toner isn’t really necessary.

more steps do not equal a more effective skincare routine.

fragrance will never do you any favors.

acne and rosacea need to be approached with moisturizer/repairing the moisture barrier first and foremost.

invest in quality serums and eye creams rather than fancy cleansers, moisturizers and makeup removers (oftentimes the best ones are found at the drugstore!)

sunscreen is the most important step (especially on flights and on the hands and neck as they age quicker.)

protect the skin during the day, repair from damage at night.

pay more attention to your lips and how well they’re hydrated.

consider chemical peels and exfoliants rather than physical scrubs.
