u/SkinLabNotes

I genuinely feel like the more I obsess over my skin, the worse it gets sometimes.

Whenever I start adding too many products, checking the mirror constantly, changing routines every week, or trying every trending ingredient, my skin just becomes irritated, textured, or dehydrated.

But when I keep things simple and stop stressing over every tiny flaw, it somehow looks healthier again.

I'm not saying skincare doesn’t matter, obviously, but I’m starting to think stress + overdoing routines affect skin more than people realise.

Has anyone else experienced this? What made your skin improve more, adding products or actually simplifying everything?

I used to use literally anything on my face with no issues, but now one wrong product and my skin burns or turns red for days. Curious if age, weather, stress , overdoing skincare slowly changed anyone else’s skin too?
