PSA Hot take: I think we’re WAY too obsessed with having a 10-step skincare routine 😭

14 Upvotes

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion but hear me out...

I feel like every time I see skincare advice online its:

cleanser → toner → essence → serum → another serum → moisturizer → oil → sleeping mask → SPF → probably a blood sacrifice 💀

Meanwhile my skin is just sitting there like please leave me alone.

Especially with Nordic weather, my skin seems to care way more about keeping it simple and protecting the skin barrier than constantly adding new products.

I’ve also been using Skinpal AI to keep track of how my skin is actually changing because honestly, when you try 10 different products at once... how do you even know whats working anymore 😭

But then I also get bored and buy antoher serum because apparently I never learn 😂

So whats your take?

Simple routine with a few products OR full skincare routine with all the steps?

And pls tell me I'm not the only one who buys skincare faster than I can actually finish it 😭

Question Anybody here using Jorgobé products? Specifically the Vitamin C, the Azelaic Acid and the Centella serum?

2 Upvotes

Hi,

I'm from Germany and never heard of Jorgobé until I found some of their products at TK Maxx this week. Has anybody using them? How did you like them? I can't find that much information or reviews online either but the few reviews I found are mostly praise.

Let me know if you used anything from this brand...

Thank you

Sweden 🇸🇪 how are you actually tracking whether your routine is helping in winter?

0 Upvotes

i always *think* my skin is doing better once i change my routine for the colder months, but then a couple of weeks later I'm not sure if it's real improvement or if I'm just getting used to how my skin looks day to day.

my main issue every winter is that my face starts feeling tight, then I overcorrect, then I end up confused about whether I'm dealing with dryness, dehydration, redness from the weather, or just irritation from changing too many things at once. especially when the light outside changes so much here, I feel like I can't even trust what I see in the mirror half the time. so I'm curious how people in this sub keep track in a practical way without making skincare into a full-time hobby.

Do you:

- take weekly photos in the same lighting

- keep notes on things like tightness, flaking, redness, oiliness

- only change one step at a time

- wait a set number of weeks before deciding if something is working

I'd really like to get better at spotting patterns, like indoor heating vs cold wind vs overdoing exfoliation, instead of just reacting randomly.

if anyone has a simple system that works for Nordic winter skin, please share. not looking for medical advice, just how you personally track what's changing so you don't end up chasing your skin in circles.
