Busy-Person FAQ

Can I skip steps on busy days?

Yes. The minimum is cleanser + moisturiser + SPF in the morning. Everything else is enhancement.

Tinted moisturiser with SPF, lip oil with colour, leave-in conditioner with heat protection, and serum-foundations.

How do I maintain a routine while travelling?

Travel in solids: bar cleanser, solid perfume, powder SPF. Less TSA hassle, less leakage risk.

Is a 3-minute routine effective?

Effective for maintenance and protection. If you have a specific concern (acne, ageing, pigmentation), add one targeted active.
