cleanse, exfoliate, mask, facial massage too much?

[anewbook]

Is it too much for your skin to:
cleanse
then exfoliate/acid toner
then facial mask
followed by facial massage

all in the same evening?

I'm just trying to get in the habit of looking after my skin more but remember reading once that you shouldn't do too many steps at once as it can be too much for your skin.

Just wondering how others do these steps?

I am trying to establish a new Sunday evening routine as I don't wear make-up on Sundays.

Feel free to share your skin routine schedules!

Thanks

I don't like to exfoliate daily.

I think skincare is so personal, what works for one person doesn't for another.

My routine which I'm really happy with is:

Cleanse with a balm oil
Tretinoin
Hydrating serum
Moisturiser
Vaseline or oil

I have dry tenancy and this works a treat for me but for others this would be way too much.

I rarely exfoliate, I just don't need to do it often I find it stripping.

I do all that on a Sunday op. Then just gentle cleanse etc during the week.

I was wondering about exfoliators/acids stripping the skin too @BryceQuinlanTheFirst . I have been using Ren Ready Steady Glow (AHA) about once every fortnight but each time it seems to have less effect than the previous times. The first few times my skin felt so silky and amazing! now there is no perceptible change at all.

@Inthesameboatatmo thanks for sharing, I am going to try doing all those things tonight and see how my skin reacts. Then will see about keeping it up on either a weekly/fortnightly basis.
Other nights I just do a simple cleanse and moisturise.
