Skincare Routine for Busy Weeks: The 3-Step Minimum

When life is hectic, a ‘minimum effective routine’ keeps your skin stable — and makes it easier to get back on track later.

Morning (2 steps)

• Moisturiser (or a hydrating serum + moisturiser)

• SPF 30–50

Evening (1–2 steps)

• Cleanse

• Moisturise

Once you’re consistent again, add one targeted treatment step (like a retinoid or acne treatment) a few nights per week.
