Skincare routines can feel like a lot — whether you’re someone who loves a 10-step lineup or you’re more of a cleanse-and-go minimalist. But how do you know which approach your skin actually needs? And is there really such a thing as doing too much… or too little?

In this week’s ep, we’re joined by formulator and skincare founder Leighton Smith to help us unpack the rise of skin minimalism vs. maximalism, the ingredients every routine should include (no matter your camp), and how to build a skincare ritual that supports your skin.

Also in this ep, Carli shares the highlights from Priceline’s Beauty Prescription Live, and of course, our Most Valuable Products of the Week.
