Starting Fresh with a Skincare Routine! Need Advice on Where to Begin 🌸

Hey skincare enthusiasts! 👋 I've decided to dive back into the world of skincare after a bit of a hiatus due to school, stress, and life in general. I've got a bunch of products, some I've used before and some new ones, and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed about where to start. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! Here's what I've got: Products I Have: Papa Recipe (bought all of this for 844 pesos because of a 50% discount and sales.) - Blemish Enzyme Cleanser - Eggplant Clearing Sun Cream - Retinol Bakuchiol Serum - Noble Rot Lifting Cream (freebie.) - Noble Pot Lifting Ampoule - Papa Recipe Blemish Balm Yehwadam Products (Gifted by my mom for my sister and I to use. Which i do use but only sometimes.) - Artemisia soothing moisturizing cream - Artemisia soothing moisturizing toner I used to have a routine but can't quite remember the exact steps and frequency. Plus, I'm wondering if I should introduce these products one by one or jump right in with a full routine? Your advice and personal experiences would be super helpful. Let's embark on this skincare journey together! 🌟

Since your skin probably isn't used to actives anymore I think I'd start off slowly with only a cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen! If your skin can handle that you can slowly start introducing more products. for now I'd treat my skin like it's the first time I started using skincare! As for which products to pick, I think it's really up to what you want to try first!

Hi there! Thanks for the thoughtful advice. Starting with a simple routine sounds like a great idea. I'll ease in with the basics and give my skin some time to readjust. Excited to take this skincare journey step by step! 🌼 Also How long do you think I should wait before introducing more products?

If your skin is sensitive or you have not used any of these products / brand, I would slowly introduce them rather than use all at once. Especially the retinol. Stick to basics like cleanser, toner, moisturiser & sunscreen. Slowly implementing serum / ampoule. Artemisia is a good product for sensitive skin.

Thanks for your advice! I totally agree, starting slow seems like the way to go. I'll focus on the basics first and take my time with introducing new products. ✨️ 😊
