What if I forget to apply the skin prep one time?

Maybe nothing. What is your skin like? If your skin is good, it should stick as long as usual. If your skin is weepy, you may get a day or less. Good luck.

Mike,
No biggie! I used to do all his special stuff and once I forgot it too, found that it made no difference anyway! You may find that true as well! I use nothing but adhesive remover wipes and forget them sometimes. No skin issues and no reflection on my wear time!
If you have skin issues, you may notice the difference!

A one-time miss shouldn't be a problem. Skin-Prep is merely an added skin protection product.
I'm sure many ostomates don't use it at all.

Mike, once in awhile I get in a hurry and skip the prep. No problems whatsoever. Hopefully you won't either. I think sometimes we put too much pressure on ourselves to follow all the steps. Take a deep breath and relax.
