4 Skincare Habits You May Be Skipping

Are you missing one of these steps? I’m walking you through four skincare habits I see women skip all the time—and I used to overlook some of them too. These aren’t complicated or expensive changes, but they make a real difference in your skin’s texture, tone, and how it ages over time. From separating makeup removal from cleansing, to treating your neck and chest like your face, to actually investing in active ingredients and wearing SPF daily—these are the habits that move the needle. If you’re doing the basics but not seeing results, there’s a good chance one of these is the gap.

Using Active Ingredients

Niacinamide Serum (the percentage I am on is a little high. I will use it up, but my dermatologist recommends a 5 or 10% product). Here are the ones I recommend:
