Skincare Habits We Stan

When it comes to skincare, consistency is everything. While trends come and go, there are some holy grail skincare habits that stand the test of time—ones that keep your skin healthy, balanced, and glowing year-round. If you’re ready to level up your skincare game, here are the skincare habits we stan (and you should, too!).

1. Double Cleansing = The Ultimate Reset

Washing your face once? Cute. But washing it twice? Game-changing.

Double cleansing is the best way to remove sunscreen, makeup, excess oil, and impurities—giving your skin a clean slate before applying skincare. The first cleanse (usually oil-based) breaks down surface buildup, while the second cleanse (water-based) deep cleans your pores. If you’re dealing with breakouts, congestion, or dull skin, making this a nightly habit can work wonders.

2. SPF is the Ultimate Anti-Aging Hack

We say it all the time, but it’s worth repeating: sunscreen is non-negotiable. It protects your skin from premature aging, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation.

Here’s the tea—UV exposure is responsible for 90% of visible skin aging (yes, even on cloudy days!). If you’re investing in skincare but skipping SPF, you’re undoing all that hard work.

3. Stop Picking at Your Skin (Seriously.)

We know, we know—it’s tempting. But picking at breakouts, blackheads, or scabs can make things so much worse. Instead of helping, it causes scarring, prolonged healing, and even more breakouts due to bacteria transfer.

4. Clean Pillowcases = Clearer Skin

Your pillowcase is a bacteria magnet. Sweat, oil, skincare residue, and even hair products build up fast, transferring to your skin while you sleep. If you’re dealing with breakouts or dullness, a dirty pillowcase might be the sneaky culprit.

Change your pillowcase at least once a week—or better yet, switch to silk for less friction and irritation.

Good skin doesn’t happen overnight, but the right habits make all the difference. When you build a routine based on consistency, balance, and care, your skin will reward you with long-term health and radiance.
