The 7 Best Skincare Habits That Actually Work

By Jenny, Nubexa Wellness Team

Hey! I’m Jenny—part of the Nubexa crew—and today I’m here to talk skincare. Not from the perspective of a dermatologist or influencer, but just as someone who’s tried it all and finally found what actually works.

Over the years, I’ve battled dryness, random breakouts, and a few fine lines that seemed to show up overnight (you know the ones). But after talking with friends, testing countless routines, and sticking with the habits that gave me real results, I narrowed it down to these 7 skincare practices that changed my skin—and could change yours too.

1. Gentle Cleansing, Always

Skip the harsh stuff. I used to think “squeaky clean” meant effective, but it just stripped my skin. Now I use a mild, pH-balanced cleanser twice a day, and my face has never been calmer.

2. Consistency Over Complication

I used to layer 10 products… now I stick to 4. Cleanse, serum, moisturizer, sunscreen. That’s it. Your skin doesn’t need stress—it needs routine.

3. SPF is Non-Negotiable

Rain or shine, I never skip sunscreen anymore. It’s the best anti-aging tool out there. One of my friends saw a huge difference in her sunspots after just a month of using SPF daily. Trust me—this one’s a must.

4. Hydration is Everything

Dry skin = dull skin. I drink water like it’s a skincare product (because it kind of is) and layer on a hydrating serum before my moisturizer. Think plump, bouncy skin.

5. Sleep + Clean Pillowcases

No serum can beat a solid 7-8 hours of rest. I started prioritizing sleep, and boom—less puffiness, fewer breakouts. Bonus tip: change your pillowcase every 2-3 nights. It matters.

6. Don’t Skip Your Neck

Learned this one from my best friend Mia—whatever you do to your face, do to your neck. Cleanse, hydrate, protect. It’s one of the first places to show aging, and now it’s part of my daily routine.

7. Feed Your Skin From Within

Healthy skin starts with what you eat. I’ve added collagen peptides, omega-3s, and antioxidant-rich foods to my meals—and wow, the glow is real. And yes, I sneak in a Nubexa collagen powder smoothie almost daily.

Final Thoughts from Me

Skincare doesn’t have to be complicated. When you find what works, stick with it. For me, it was less about chasing perfection and more about consistency, hydration, and treating my skin with kindness. Your skin is your largest organ—give it the love it deserves.

Hope this helped! Let me know which habits you try—or already love.

With love,

Jenny 💙
