Build a Skincare Routine Like a Pro (And Yes, Sis, It Can Be a Whole Vibe)

Updated: May 24


Listen up, gorgeous. If your skincare routine feels like a damn chore, it’s time we had a talk. Because over here? Skincare is the mood, the vibe, the main character energy of your entire day. You’re not just washing your face—you’re stepping into your glow era, and I’m here to guide you every glowy, dewy step of the way.


Now let’s keep it real—building a skincare routine doesn’t have to be complicated, expensive, or take 45 minutes while you chant to the moon. Unless that’s your thing, then by all means baby, howl on.

But if you’re trying to get into a routine that’s effective, results-driven, and sustainable, here’s your blueprint from a licensed esthetician who doesn’t play when it comes to skin health.


The “Less is More” Skincare Philosophy—Because Overcomplicating is So 2019


Let’s start with this: Simplistic skincare is where it’s at. It’s not about doing the most—it’s about doing what works. Healthy, radiant skin starts with consistency and intention. So yes ma’am, I said “routine,” because this isn’t a one-night stand with your cleanser. This is a committed relationship, okay?

Here’s your no-fluff, no-nonsense starter pack to build a skincare routine like a pro:


Step 1: Gentle Facial Cleanser

The goal here is clean skin without drama. Choose a cleanser that removes the grime, sweat, SPF, and makeup—but still respects your skin’s barrier like the queen she is. Harsh cleansers? Toss ‘em. Your skin deserves love, not a wrestling match.


Step 2: Facial Steamer (Optional, But a Whole Vibe)

Steam that pretty face once or twice a week. It opens up your pores, helps with congestion, and makes your skincare products work harder—just like you do every damn day.


Step 3: Exfoliate (But Don’t Overdo It, Sis)

Twice a week—that’s it. Exfoliation removes dead skin cells that are dulling your shine and clogging your pores. If your skin looks tired and meh? You’re probably skipping this step. Yeaaa...so Don’t.


Step 4: Toner (Let’s Talk About It)

Now here’s where the skincare girlies start debating. If your products are already pH balanced (most are), toner might feel unnecessary. But if you love that refreshed, extra-clean feeling, go for it. Just choose one that’s alcohol-free and full of hydrating or soothing ingredients.


Step 5: Treatment Mask

Want to target hyperpigmentation, dullness, or just set a whole self-care mood? A treatment mask is your go-to. Look for ingredients like antioxidants, clay, or polyphenols. Put on some R&B, light a candle, and treat your damn self.


Step 6: Serums—The Real MVP

If you’re gonna splurge anywhere, let it be here. Serums are potent little bottles of magic, packed with ingredients your skin actually wants. Whether it’s hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, or vitamin C, this is where the glow happens.


Step 7: Moisturizer (Non-Negotiable)

Hydrate that beautiful face! A good moisturizer seals the deal, keeps your skin soft, and prevents transepidermal water loss (that’s a fancy way of saying, “Don’t let your skin dry out like your ex’s personality”).

Let’s Keep it Cute & Consistent

You don’t need a 12-step K-beauty ritual unless that’s your jam. The best skincare routine is the one you can actually stick to. Make it a moment for yourself. Play music, sip tea, romanticize your routine. Because skin care isn’t just about products—it’s about honoring yourself every day.
