Skinimalism is one of the year's most talked-about trends. So what is this minimalist approach all about, and when should you use a skinimalist ritual? Follow our beginner's guide to skinimalism to find out more.
What is Skinimalism?
Skinimalism is a skincare approach that follows a less is more philosophy. Skinimalism is about simplifying your skincare and makeup routine, concentrating on high-performing essentials on days when you’re running short of time.
These pared-back rituals focus on maximising your skincare ritual using a few skincare essentials.
Why minimalist?
While we love a full skincare meets self-care ritual, sometimes it isn’t always feasible. On those days when you are running late for yoga or your morning meeting, a skinimalist approach is a quick and easy way to cover all bases using a few essential products.
What essentials to include in a skinimalist ritual?
For mornings or evenings when you are short on time, your skinimalist ritual should consist of three steps: Cleanse, Activate & Moisturise.
CLEANSE
Start your skinimalist ritual by selecting a cleanser based on your skincare needs. Radiant Skin Foaming Cleanser cleanses and exfoliates, Replenishing Cleansing Lotion helps calm dry skin, Nourishing Cleansing Oil softens as it cleanses, while Revitalising Cleansing Gel cleanses makeup, oil and impurities in a single step.
ACTIVATE
The essential next step in your skinimalist ritual is to hydrate, prepare and activate the skin using Activating Water Essence+. This essence will help provide a hydrated foundation to enhance absorption and boost the skincare benefits of your moisturiser in the final step of your ritual.
MOISTURISE
Round off your short and sweet ritual by locking in moisture using a rich cream or lightweight lotion. Moisture Replenishing Day Cream can help soothe and restore dry skin, while Rare Rose Cream hydrates and nourishes skin throughout the day.
Herbal Recovery Cream addresses fine lines and promotes renewed radiance, and Nutri-Define Supreme Restorative Rich Cream can help visibly reduce signs of ageing.
