How do you wean your skin on/off of products? (help me🥺)
Hi guys,
My routine is all over the place and I really want to replace, remove or add products to my routine. I am just finishing the process of trying to repair my skin barrier and due to increased acne (with the help of you guys) I’ve decided it’s time for me to start using actives again. I want to add my BHA back into my routine (2/3 times a week), plus a Vit C serum (just AM) and maybe a toner. At the moment all I am using is a moisturiser and a serum. I want to remove this current serum from my routine because it’s a hyaluronic acid one and there is hyaluronic acid in my new moisturiser.
So, how would you guys remove the serum from your routine and add the additional products I’ve mentioned? Should I just stop using my current serum straight away and just keep with my moisturiser for a bit before adding a new product, or should I add a new product first and then take away the first serum? How long should I wait before I add another new product to my rountine? 2 weeks, a month? Should I just go straight in with the new product or just start using it once a week (even with something like a toner) and then increase weekly usage?
I’m so confused!😫 I really don’t know what I’m doing with my rountine and I’m stressed that it’s going to ruin my skin again after spending a month trying to repair it.
