Should I stop absolutely all skincare when my face is irritated?

My approach is to simplify rather than automatically remove every product. The goal is to remove unnecessary irritation while still keeping the skin clean, moisturized, and protected in a way it can tolerate.

Simplify first, rather than removing everything

Start by identifying new or irritating steps and what your skin still tolerates. If even basic care keeps burning, get advice on the cause and a suitable routine instead of repeatedly trying new products.
