Skincare Is Not Self Care If It Stresses You Out
Posted by Miranda Barringer on Dec 12th 2025
This one matters to us.
Skincare is supposed to support you. Not make you feel behind, inadequate, or like you are failing at yet another thing.
If your routine feels overwhelming, it is not working. If you feel guilty when you skip steps, something is off. If skincare feels like pressure instead of care, it is time to simplify.
Alex and I both live in the real world. Long days. Full schedules. Limited energy. That is exactly why Salt and Spirit rituals are simple.
Wash. Support. Nourish. Rest.
That is it.
Self care does not have to be perfect to be effective. It just has to be kind.
Your skin does not need more rules.
It needs more grace.
