If you’re tired of hearing about 12 step skincare routines, this guide is for you. When it comes to skincare, you really don’t need a dozen steps or multiple lavish skincare products to achieve your skin goals. Even if you’re dealing with skin concerns like acne, fine lines, discoloration, dullness, or dryness, every skin type with every skin concern can benefit from a streamlined routine.

The secret is in the products you use. A few high performing products incorporated into your daily regimen is all you need to achieve your best skin.

Here’s a no BS skincare routine that works for everyone.

NO BS SKINCARE ROUTINE

Start your day with this no BS skincare regimen -- chock full of no bs products.

#1: Cleanser

Morning cleansing preps your skin for product application. In other words, by lathering away the buildup of oil, dead skin cells, and grime, you allow the active ingredients in other products to penetrate deeper into your skin, enabling them to work better.

As soon as you wake up in the morning, wash your face with a gentle cleanser like Truly's 24k Black Soap Cleanser. It’s gentle enough for sensitive skin yet powerful enough to treat issues like breakouts, dryness, and dullness. Made with salicylic acid and 24k gold, this formula works for all.

Whether you’ve got oily skin, acne-prone skin, or dry skin, every skin type can enjoy the benefits of this daily facial cleanser.

#2: Serum

While toners today are far gentler and more hydrating than they used to be, they’re an optional step. If you’re looking to follow a no bs beauty routine, you can definitely skip the toner in favor of a serum that targets your specific skin issues.

We recommend Truly's The Brightening Serum with vitamin C for bright, radiant, more even looking skin.

The great thing about serums is that they contain a high concentration of active ingredients to effectively tackle different concerns. They make an excellent topical treatment for everything from fine lines to acne to dark spots and even sagging.

In the daytime, however, it’s best to use ingredients that aren’t photosensitive, like vitamin C for brightening effects, hyaluronic acid for hydration, and aloe vera for irritation.

#3: Moisturizer

Even oily skin needs hydration to stay clear and healthy. In the daytime, opt for a lightweight moisturizer. We recommend Truly's The Hydrating Serum with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide for soft, dewy skin.

Besides leaving skin feeling soft and looking dewy, this formula can improve skin tone and skin texture for your smoothest, brightest complexion. And you only need a pea-sized amount!

#4: Sunscreen

Every no bs skincare routine includes sunscreen. SPF is a daily essential for protecting your skin against skin-harming UV rays which contribute to premature aging, as well as skin cancer. Look for an oil-free sunscreen with SPF 20 or higher. If you have fair skin, go no lower than SPF 30 for maximum protection. Re-apply every two hours.

When following a no bs skincare routine, try to choose products free of sulfates, parabens, and fragrances, which can irritate skin — especially skin that’s already sensitive. Speak to a dermatologist if your skin doesn’t improve after four to five weeks of following the above no bs routine.
