7 Things I Wish I Knew About Skincare (Before I Tried Everything Else)

7 Things I Wish I Knew About Skincare (Before I Tried Everything Else)

In over a decade of exploring skincare solutions, I've seen it all: trends that work wonders and others that overpromise and underdeliver.

What I've come to realise is that the key to achieving vibrant, healthy skin isn’t about following fads – it’s about understanding how your skin truly works. The secret? Oil-based skincare founded on the principles of Corneotherapy.

Here are 7 insights that can change your skincare routine and finally give you results that last:

  1. Your Skin Needs Oil (Not Harsh Cleansers)
    Most of us have been taught to strip away oil for clear skin, but healthy skin needs balance. Oil-based cleansers replenish your skin’s natural barrier, preventing dryness and irritation.
  2. It’s About Strengthening, Not Stripping
    Traditional skincare often focuses on scrubbing away layers, but corneotherapy is about fortifying your skin’s barrier. This protects you from inflammation and environmental damage while reducing sensitivity.
  3. Hydration Comes from Healthy Skin that Locks in Moisture – Not from Creams
    Water-based moisturizers evaporate quickly, but oil-based products lock in moisture for a longer-lasting glow. It keeps hydration where it matters most – deep in your skin.
  4. Every Skin Type Benefits from Oil-Based Care
    Think oil only works for dry skin? Think again. Even oily skin benefits from the right oils, which help balance sebum production and prevent breakouts.
  5. Consistency Beats Complexity
    Forget 10-step routines. An effective oil-based skincare routine simplifies your routine without compromising results. Fewer steps mean less stress and more glowing skin.
  6. Preserve Your Skin's Natural Microbiome
    Harsh products can disrupt the delicate balance of good bacteria on your skin.  LoveSkin supports your microbiome, promoting healthier skin with fewer breakouts and irritations.
  7. Listen to What Your Skin Needs
    No two people have the same skin journey. An oil-based approach adapts to your needs over time, providing flexibility and truly tailored skincare.
