Let’s be real—skincare can get out of control fast. Too many steps, overpriced serums, and half-empty bottles that don’t deliver. I used to be there too, but I finally revamped my routine to make it simple, affordable, and actually work—and now, I want to help you do the same.
Since making these changes, my skin looks better, my routine is faster, and I’m saving money. And the best part? You can do this too! Here’s how:
1. Cut Out the Extra Steps
If your routine feels overwhelming, it’s time to simplify. I ditched the 10-step process and focused on just four essentials: cleanse, treat, hydrate, and protect—that’s it. No more unnecessary layers, just what truly makes a difference. I STARTED DR. KARAM'S 3 STEP SYSTEM 3 months ago and YA'LL!!!!!!!!! i'm freaking stoked and hooked. I have a discount code for 10% off today GLITTERU is the code, enter GLITTERU at checkout and try the 3-step system, you will freaking love me for sharing this one - you only need a little dab, it lasts a long time and I do use the black soap with this for a double cleanse (the soap is in the button LTK link at the top) - here is the SHOPPING LINK FOR THE 3 STEP FLAWLESS EASY SYSTEM, Dr. Karam is a board certified plastic surgeon, he knows his SKIN GAME FOR. YOUTH!!!
2. Use Multi-Tasking Products
Who has time (or money) for a million different bottles? I started using powerhouse formulas that do double (or triple) duty. Think: a vitamin C serum that also hydrates or a moisturizer with built-in SPF. Fewer products, better results!
3. Find Cost-Effective, Long-Lasting Options
Expensive doesn’t always mean better. I swapped out overpriced products for high-performing, budget-friendly ones that last longer. There are so many dermatologist-approved brands that give you incredible results without draining your wallet.
4. Ditch the Overhyped Trends
I’ve fallen for my fair share of fancy packaging and viral “miracle” products. But guess what? Most of them don’t live up to the hype. Now, I stick with clinically backed ingredients that actually improve my skin.
5. See the Results—Faster!
Since simplifying my routine, my skin is clearer, brighter, and healthier. Plus, I spend less time and money stressing over what to use. Less is definitely more.
If you’re tired of skincare feeling like a full-time job, take this as your sign to simplify. Your skin (and wallet) will thank you!
