I've observed a startlingly real addiction to skincare and makeup in both myself and those around me. It may begin innocently—perhaps with a new product here or there—but it can easily turn into a never-ending need to try the newest styles or add more products, which frequently causes more harm than good. Simplifying your routine is one piece of advice that I've found useful. Focus on a few tried-and-true products that truly work for your skin type and concerns rather than trying out every new serum or foundation. It's simpler to resist the temptation to add more to your routine when it feels doable and successful.

Understanding why you feel compelled to continue purchasing or applying more is another crucial mental adjustment. Is it more about pursuing perfection or looking for approval, or is it about feeling better about yourself? You can break the cycle by being truthful with yourself about those motivations. Setting limits, such as how frequently I peruse beauty shops or accounts on social media, also seems to have a significant impact. If you're not careful, those never-ending product launches and tutorials can exacerbate the addiction.

Finally, giving your skin breaks is essential. Sometimes less really is more, and taking time off heavy makeup or layers of skincare allows your skin to breathe and reset. It also helps remind you that your worth isn’t tied to how flawless your routine is. Have you ever caught yourself slipping into product overload, and how did you pull back?

Yes, I’ve definitely fallen into the product overload trap before. It usually starts with “just one more serum” or getting sucked into a late-night TikTok spiral of miracle products. Next thing I know, my bathroom shelf looks like a mini Sephora and my skin’s more irritated than improved. What helped me pull back was hitting a point where my skin was freaking out—breakouts, sensitivity, the whole deal. I had to strip everything down to basics, and honestly, my skin thanked me. Now I try to be more intentional. If something doesn’t serve a clear purpose for my skin, I skip it. And taking social media breaks helps big time.
