How Much Skincare Should I Be Using?

Feeling overwhelmed by all the skincare information online? As we casual scroll social media, we are seeing images featuring 50+ products in one medicine cabinet and we sense there is A LOT of extra steps going on…. So how much skincare do you really need?

“I am a firm believer that these complicated skincare routines do more harm than good,” says Amy Paik, M.D., board-certified dermatologist. Dr. Paik believes that 12-step, 10-step, and even 5-step routines present more problems than they solve. It is just an illusion that you “need” more. Trust us, we get it. Products are pretty and we get sucked in with the nice ingredient story or brand sustainability, but enough is enough. Let Sukin A-Beauty help minimize your skincare routine, so you can get out of your bathroom and back to doing life!

At Sukin, we are all about embodying the laid-back, relaxed Aussie lifestyle that inspired our products, so we lean into short and sweet A-Beauty routines. Below, we have curated an essential Sukin skincare regimen to help declutter your counters and give your skin a break!
