Too much cosmetics – how it affects your skin and why less is more

Have you ever felt like your bathroom shelf resembled a store shelf overflowing with products? Perhaps you even thought that more cosmetics was the key to healthy, well-groomed skin. After all, there are tons of new cosmetics everywhere! However, dermatologists warn that too many products can cause more problems than good. Skin overwhelmed by too many ingredients often reacts with allergies, irritations, and even acne. So, is there a skincare routine that will truly support your skin?

Minimalist skincare may be the answer you're looking for.

How does excess cosmetics affect the skin?

You may notice that the more cosmetics you use, the more your skin feels tired or oversensitive. This may be due to an excess of chemicals that, while supposedly beneficial, overlap and burden the skin. Here are some of the problems that too many cosmetics can cause:

• Contact allergies – caused by fragrances, preservatives and other additives that can cause allergic reactions
• Irritation and redness – too many layers and substances strain the skin's natural barrier, making it more susceptible to external factors
• Cosmetic acne – excess products can clog pores, especially when using thick formulas, leading to breakouts
• Skin microbiome disorders – washing and applying products too often destroys the natural bacterial flora that protects the skin from infections

So, if you feel like your skin is still irritated or overworked, maybe it just needs... less.

Less is more: simplicity in care

Skin doesn't need a multitude of cosmetics, but a few carefully selected products that will meet its needs. That's why more and more experts are recommending a skincare regimen based on simplicity—choosing products with short, well-thought-out ingredients that fulfill essential functions. Cosmetic minimalism is the path to restoring skin's balance, allowing it to naturally defend and regenerate itself.
