Don’t introduce a multiple step skincare routine at once if you’ve never tried the product/s. Start slow, then grow. I always suggest starting out with 3 products, and then introduce active products at week 2. Good skincare is NOT cheap. Don’t go crazy on a 7 step routine only to learn your skin can’t handle the products 2-3 weeks later.
Don’t skip out on cleansing your face and body at least 2x a day. There will be times when you may skip out on a shower here and there, but letting this turn into a bad habit may slow down your glowing skin goals.

Don’t over exfoliate or under exfoliate. People often want to scrub, scrub, scrub, yet all that does is compromise the skin’s barrier. Be gentle when scrubbing, rub the skin as if you’re rubbing a baby’s skin. There’s no need to use medium or firm pressure – let the product do the job. Also don’t under-exfoliate. If you’re just getting started with a routine, start with once a month then move to 2x a month.

Don’t get discouraged. What works for someone else may not work for you. I always say “You have people that can bathe in beer and butter and have the most wonderful skin you’ve ever seen, and people who put on fragrance free, supposedly clean ingredients products and have crazy inflammatory responses”. .

Don’t forget; the closer you are to compromised skin, the further away you are from glowing skin. Products take time. Skincare is a marathon that you run for a lifetime

Bianca has a great article on her blog where she asks “Is Your Skin in Shape” and she covers the basics that everyone should know about when it comes to making sure that skin is in great shape, and how to put together a perfect regimen for yourself.
