Meet the 80/20 Rule - Skincare Doesn’t Have to Be Complicated

Hi…….

Skincare can feel a bit overwhelming at times, with so many products, ingredients, and routines out there, it's easy to get lost in the noise. But what if I told you that glowing, healthy skin doesn’t have to be complicated?

That’s where the 80/20 rule comes in – it’s a simple yet powerful concept that can change how you think about skincare. Here’s what it means:

80% of your results come from 20% of your efforts.

Sounds easy, right? The idea is to focus on the key steps that make the biggest difference to your skin rather than trying to do everything all at once.

But here’s the real game-changer: 80% of your results come from what you do at home, not just from in clinic treatments. While skin treatments can give you that extra boost, your daily routine truly makes the most impact.

As a former owner of two aesthetic clinics, I can honestly say that having a good home skincare routine was always a non-negotiable with my clients. I knew firsthand the impact it would have on their skin’s long-term health and glow.

Let’s break it down into three easy steps for you:

1. Stick to the essentials
   Forget about using 10 different serums and masks every week. A solid routine only needs a few important products: a gentle cleanser, a hydrating moisturiser, and a good sunscreen. These are your non-negotiables, the 20% that will give you 80% of your results.
2. Listen to your skin
   Every skin type is different, and what works for someone else might not work for you. So instead of overloading your skin with too many products, take the time to understand what your skin needs. Is it hydration? Protection? Maybe a little glow-up? Focus on those needs, and your skin will thank you.
3. Consistency is key
   The secret to great skin isn’t doing everything all the time – it’s doing the right things consistently. By following a simple routine every day, you're giving your skin the best chance to thrive. It’s like anything in life,  the small efforts you make daily are what lead to lasting results.
   

Remember, skincare doesn’t need to feel like a chore and be complicated. The 80/20 rule is all about focusing on those few steps that truly matter. And while in clinic treatments are a great addition, it’s your at home routine that will have the biggest impact over time.

If you’re not sure where to start, we’ve got a range of products designed to give you that 80/20 glow with minimal effort.

Here’s to keeping it simple and loving the skin you’re in!
