I&#8217;ve done it myself and I now stick primarily to a hydrating skin regiment, only adding in anti-aging serums or whitening serums as I see fit. The primary focus is to keep my skin hydrated as that is when I see my skin at its best. When a skincare range fails to make my skin feel comfortable this way, I ditch it.

There is NO product that works for everyone. It may work for the majority, but there will be someone for whom it fails because, get this, we&#8217;re all different. So don&#8217;t buy into the hype too quickly. Even if the world is raving about it and pushing you to go and buy something already, don&#8217;t give in to the hype. Try it, work it out for yourself if it works for YOU.

Its important to remove the dirt of the day and just as important to put back all the goodness your skin will benefit from. How many products you use is your choice.
