Skinimalism is the latest trend to hit the beauty community, focusing on simplifying your skin care routine and saving you time and money in the process. With the rise in popularity of 10-step skin care routines, dermatologists have raised concerns that using an excessive amount of different products could be too much for the skin and potentially cause irritation, sensitivity, and even damage to the skin barrier. Not only can these extensive routines wreak havoc on the skin, especially sensitive skin, but they are also incredibly time-consuming and expensive. As these 10-step skin care routines begin to wane in popularity, skinimalism is on the rise.
What is skinimalism?
Skinimalism, a blend of “skin” and “minimalism”, is the idea of paring down your skin care routine to three to five essential products that support healthy skin. This typically includes a cleanser, serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen. Adopting this approach makes it easier to stick to a simple skin care routine (which is key to seeing positive results) and can be just as effective as a more complicated routine. It also benefits the environment since fewer products = less waste. Skinimalism shows us that even in skin care, less really is more!
