What is one step in your skincare routine that you wish you could skip?
Removal of makeup for sure! It’s satisfying but sometimes… it’s just, ahh! I don’t want to do it (but always do!).

Same.
Curling my straight lashes, they never curl right or last the day curled.
There are plenty of times I don’t want to wash my face at all but the one step I’d really like to skip is eye makeup removal. I could probably rely on my facial cleanser to get most of my eye makeup off except that the concealers I use are all pretty “indelible” and need any oily remover to dissolve them.
What you said ⬆️! If there is one thing I don’t enjoy, it’s removing my makeup. Especially my eye makeup, because I need to wear very waterproof mascara and eyeliner. That stuff is ROUGH to remove!
Sunscreen; I have yet to find one that plays well with all of my foundations… I have found a few that come close, but I’d love to narrow it down to just one.
This!
I used to wish that I could skip sunscreen because I hated the sticky film that most physical sunscreens left on my skin. (Chemical sunscreens don’t seem to get along with my skin.) But, I finally found my holy grail non-nano zinc oxide sunscreen, and now I don’t mind the sunscreen step! I am a bit bummed that I have to order it online (as it is a South Korea brand), but I am so happy that my search for the perfect sunscreen is over.
Double cleansing, but I know that a sing
That went off too soon. Double cleansing with oil first, but I know that just face wash leaves stuff behind.
Yep, definitely makeup removal! I don’t mind if I’m wearing light makeup, but when I’ve done a fully heavy face complete with false lashes, it’s so much work — and especially if I did it for a night time performance (back when it was safe to leave the house and dance in front of other live human beings), I’m usually pretty tired. I always whine and ask why no one has invented nanobots that can remove my makeup for me.
Sunscreen, because I like to get going ASAP so having to wait for it to sink in for 15 minutes is a snore.
I don’t like having to moisturize. I don’t like feeling *stuff* on my face or my hands, you know?
Removing eye makeup.
I love every single step of my skincare routine, I would actually do them more than once.
Maybe I’m not that fond of sitting with a clay mask on my face.
I wish I could just go back to the three step routine from Clinique and not have to do all of the steps I have to do now to be satisfied with my skin. Cleanse, tone, moisturize, and scrub every seven days was simple, and I miss it…I just miss the simplicity.
I HATE TAKING OFF MASCARA! I guess that’s not technically skincare but it is always a mess & my least favorite part of my nighty routine.
I truly love taking care of my skin but yes removing my face at the end of the day is a pain!
Making sure I get every single bit of my mascara off – that is just a pain in the neck to me.
For me it is waiting for things to soak in. I love my new serum but it takes a while to soak before the moisturizer. I use Tatcha products to wash my face and I love them. I also am a bit lazy trying to remember to do my masks once a week.
