Yep, I think many women get brainwashed into it; even me at one point, LOL! It took me almost 60 years to get my routine simplified down to a few basic products that work for me.

Yes. Face wash, eye and face cream is all I use.

Not one thing I wear for makeup or one thing I use to cleanse or moisturize is bad for my skin. It's organic and toxic free.

Same goes for my body. And DH's.

Head to toe, organic and toxic free!!

Yes! I've fallen for it too, especially since I've been battling hyperpigmentation since I had my second son and now that I'm in my 40's and starting to get some lines and wrinkles.

I haven't tried tons of stuff, but I've tried several lines and products and nothing that I've used has made any noticeable difference at all, either in the hyperpigmentation or the lines that I have.

From now on I'm going to keep it simple too. Cleanser, moisturizer with SPF, maybe a serum for the hyperpigmentation, a good nighttime moisturizer. Too much else just seems to irritate my skin and make things worse.

Not if the results are excellent and I have finally found a skincare/makeup routine that really really works for me - for me no. Just to buy and use something and see no better results than paring down the products used makes sense.

I am starting to agree...my New Year's goal is to use up my beauty creams...then go to a more organic product...and maybe just cleanser, moisturizer, and sun screen.

Now make-up...well, I am thinking of trying 100% Juice make-up...but I will NEVER use up all the eye shadows, powders, concealers, etc...that I currently have. I will have to clean out my makeup one day...then start again. Not sure when that will happen, though. LOL!

I am all for people doing what works for their skin and their budget. If spending thousands of dollars and layering multiple products work for some, then enjoy. I like simple routines with inexpensive products.

Too many layers. All together now:
