What are the opportunity costs that would be lost? What damage would be done by virtually doing nothing to protect, preserve and replenish your skin?
Let's walk it through step by step and see...
You would have less collagen production - thus an increase in the speed at which you gain lines and wrinkles, dark spots, sagging skin, plus added acneic and reactive skin. Your external signs of aging would simply speed up.
Your moisturizer would just sit on top of an accumulation of dead skin cells and debris which would act as a barrier, preventing the moisturizer from working its magic.
Your skin will be dull, dry or acneic, or both.
Your skin could be rougher, pores may enlarge.
Your skintone will become uneven, dark spots will increase, skin will be drier, feel less supple and generally be more uncomfortable.
If your skin leans to dryness, you will feel dry, tight and even scaly. Your skin texture will become less even, you will notice a lack of plumpness (your skin cells learn to take in moisture with repetition of application) and hydration.
Your eye area will age faster, with lines and wrinkles, puffiness and dark spots worsening.
Vitamin C Serum, Bright On Brightening Serum, are all in the support serum category.
If you ignore them? Opportunity Lost.
You will see and feel skin that is rougher, an uneven skin tone, dark spots will deepen and spread.
You may experience more acne and pore clogging, a quicker loss of firmness, and quicker sagging.
Basically, external signs of aging will happen faster.
I. can't. even.
The two areas that I see get skipped a lot are exfoliation and sun protection.
The two WORST categories to ignore.
The accumulation of dead surface skin cells from ignoring exfoliation will cause dryness, or increased acne, or increased skin sensitivity.
The lack of sunscreen will have you aging 90% faster!
