December holds a challenge for both new and experienced skincare users. For new users, who may receive a cleanser or serum as a gift this holiday season, they are faced with a learning curve to expand their regimens — what products should they buy, and which ones are most important?
For the experienced, the cold and dry winter means their routine will be pushed to the limit. It can be hard to avoid overapplying or adding new products to their routine to compensate for the lack of moisture, but this can cause irritation and redness if they’re not careful.
Enter skinimalism, a solution for skincare lovers both new and old and a trend that is taking the world by storm.
What Is Skinimalism?
With a name combining “skin” and “minimalism,” skinimalism is just what it sounds like: using the least quantity and variety of products to make skin look great.
Skinimalism doesn’t mean giving up fantastic-looking skin — it simply means getting to that wonderful skin in as few steps as possible. It embraces a mindset of “less is more,” cutting out anything nonessential. It has been getting increasingly popular over the past few years, and it doesn’t just apply to skincare. Skinimalists also insist on using a minimal amount of beauty products like makeup, for example.
The trend has caught on for a few great reasons. First of all, using smaller amounts and eliminating superfluous products saves money. Besides this, skinimalism avoids the problems that result from overapplication and product mixing, which can lead to irritation, dryness or redness if patients aren’t careful. Using as few products as needed also keeps skincare routines simple and easy.
