The “Skinimalism” trend is on the rise and is also an approach dermatologists are likely to recommend. Let’s take a deep dive into what it means, the benefits and how to approach your skincare with the art of “Skinimalism.”.
Deep Dive Into the Art of “Skinimalism”
How often do you feel overwhelmed when you walk into your bathroom after a long day and see all the skincare products you still need to put on your face? Seeing ten to twenty skincare products cluttering up your bathroom sink can trigger anxiety in just about anyone—especially when all you really want to do is go to bed!
And so, the internal battle begins in which you begin to go back and forward on whether to simply skip your skincare routine altogether that night. While sleep may be an instant gratifier, we can guarantee your skin won’t thank you for the morning after—or in the long run! If this sounds familiar, this is where “skinimalism” can really save the (skincare) day.
Did you know that the average person will end up spending nearly $100,000 on wasted skincare products throughout their lifetime? That, tied in with the daily stress of having to do a complex skincare routine, is just a whole lot of extra stress that your skin doesn’t need to deal with!
Atolla has mastered the art of “skinimalism” and has put together the ultimate step-by-step guide for you to be able to live your best skin in a simplistic and affordable way! Here is everything you need to know about the art of “skinimalism” and how you yourself can also become a master of it.
1. Quality over quantity
Having a twenty-step skincare routine doesn’t actually mean that you will give your skin its best life! “Skinimalism” practices only using quality products that drastically reduce the number of steps involved in your skincare routine. In fact, you really should only be needing 3-4products—cleanser, serum, moisturizer (and sunscreen)! So go ahead and clear your bathroom counter and start afresh with a simple skincare routine!
2. Embrace your uniqueness
While anyone can become a master of “skinimalism” it is important to remember that not all skin is created equal. In fact, our skin varies from one another just as much as our DNA! This means that the type of skincare products that work for your skin won’t necessarily work for your friend’s skin. As a master of “skinimalism”, you’ll embrace your skin’s uniqueness and reward it with quality skincare products designed just for you.
3. Understand your skin’s needs
The best way to be confident with the skincare products you are purchasing is by knowing your skin and understanding its needs. You can easily do this by taking Atolla’s skincare assessment at home, in which you will learn your skin’s exact pH balance. This, in turn, will allow Atolla to formulate the perfect serum, toner, and moisturizer for your skin. And when you go to restock your products, take a re-assessment as your skin is constantly evolving with you!
4. Be dedicated to your routine
Another important element of “skinimalism” is being consistent with your skincare routine! With only three quality skincare products to use in your routine, plus an SPF, it won’t take a lot of time to practice your skincare routine two times a day! You could even do it while your coffee is brewing! The key to really ensuring that your minimal product skincare routine produces the best results for your skin is by being consistent with when you do it.
5. Live your best skin
The final, and most important, part of “skinimalism” is to live your best skin! This means that you respect your skin, nourish your skin and love the skin you’re in! We often find the big or small issues and get into self-critical thinking when it comes to our facial skin. Remember that the most beautiful skin is the skin you’re in.
“Skinimalism” is something that anyone can become a master of. With a unique trio of skin care products formulated specifically for you, you’ll be able to have the skin you want at every chapter of your life!
