The Bare Minimum Routine:

Sometimes, we just don’t have the time, budget, or energy for a full 10-step skincare routine — and that’s completely okay. Whether you're just starting your skincare journey or feeling overwhelmed by all the options out there, I'm here to simplify things. No fluff, no complicated steps — just the essentials. I’ll walk you through the three core steps every skin type needs to stay clean, protected, and balanced.

Simple. Effective. Straight to the point.
