Let’s be honest—skincare routines have gotten a little out of hand. There’s always a new serum, a trending ingredient, or a 10-step ritual that promises miracle results. But here’s the truth: your skin doesn’t need all that. It needs consistency, the right ingredients, and most importantly—a break.
That’s where minimalist skincare comes in. It’s not about doing the bare minimum. It’s about doing just enough—and doing it well.
1. Choose Easy-to-Use Packaging
Sounds obvious, but if that cleanser smells weird or the moisturizer feels sticky, your brain’s gonna reject it fast. Find things that feel good — maybe something that smells calming (like lavender) or has a texture you enjoy (gels are great!). If using it feels like a treat, it’s way easier to stick to.
2. Pick Products You Actually Like
Sounds obvious, but if that cleanser smells weird or the moisturizer feels sticky, your brain’s gonna reject it fast. Find things that feel good — maybe something that smells calming (like lavender) or has a texture you enjoy (gels are great!). If using it feels like a treat, it’s way easier to stick to.
3. Keep Your Skincare Products Visible and Organized
Look, if it’s in a drawer or hidden in a cabinet — it basically doesn’t exist. ADHD brains love visual cues. Keep your skincare right where you’ll see it — bathroom counter, shelf, whatever works. Line it up in the order you use it. No thinking required.
4. Set Timers or Use Phone Reminders
Time just… vanishes sometimes, right? Set a reminder for when to start your routine, or a 5-minute timer for your mask. Your phone’s already in your hand — might as well make it your little accountability buddy.
5. Combine Skincare With Another Activity You Enjoy
This one’s a game changer: tie skincare to something you already do without thinking. Brush your teeth? Wash your face right after. Watch YouTube at night? Throw on a sheet mask while you’re at it. Habit stacking = ADHD magic.
