Between skincare and makeup, women report using quite a few products – for many people it's 20 or more.
Though it seems like each product focuses on a specific function, doctors and dermatologists agree that less is actually more.
For one thing, lots of very specific products don't deliver huge benefits. And for another, using more and more products just raises your chances of allergic reactions, over-exfoliated skin, and mystery ingredients. This can lead to redness, itching, bumpy skin and breakouts — exactly the things you're trying to get rid of in the first place!
So here's the tip: Cut back on product overload. Professionals in this article (and many others) all recommend keeping it simple. Focus your routine on cleansing, moisturizing, hydrating, and adding vitamins with just one or two products.
And here's another tip that you can combine with the first: Try going a week (or more!) with no makeup. Skipping the concealers, foundations et cetera gives your delicate facial skin a chance to rebound and repair. People who try this almost always report great results.
We're also very proud that our customers say COR Silver Soap can serve many functions, replacing a lot of products with just one. In addition to cleaning and moisturizing your face, it's a gentle and effective makeup remover, and it's all we use for exfoliation.
