Are skincare routines worth it? (beehaw.org)

Skincare is one of those things I always feel like I should be better at (and that I'm failing as a girl because of it somehow). I'm lucky as my skin is fine really (I drink a lot of water) so I've never really done anything. Selfcare is something I struggle with generally so never found it worth the effort.

I'm thinking as I enter my thirties though I should. Just had a sheetmask and enjoyed it but I have no idea where to start generally in terms of it.

What's your skincare routine? Is it worth the effort/cost?

If you have good skin already, do the least possible. Wear sun screen and hats to prevent sun damage, and gently cleanse/ moisturize at night. You don’t need a whole ass routine unless you have problem skin (acne, dark spots, etc). The less you mess with your natural biome, the happier your skin will be.

The only thing I think that's an issue is dark circles under my eyes, but I'm at the acceptance stage now. Think it's partly genetic, found that when I did try to put stuff on it they only looked more pronounced.
