How I’m Using These (Super Simple Routine)

I’m not doing a 10-step routine. Here’s what this actually looks like in real life:

Morning:

• Vitamin C

• Moisturizer

• SPF

• Skin tint + Flawless Filter

Night:

• Retinol (a few nights a week)

• Hydration (Advanced Night Repair + moisturizer on off nights)

That’s it. Simple, effective, and actually sustainable.

What I Didn’t Buy (and why)

This might be the most important part.

I skipped:

• multiple foundations

• extra exfoliating products

• anything that felt like a duplicate

Just because it’s on sale doesn’t mean you need it.
