All about Skin Minimalism
If you are a skincare aficionado or someone who keeps up with trends, you’ve surely heard of skin minimalism aka skinimalism. This skincare trend has been all the rage recently. People who practice this trend have beautifully glowing and glass-like skin. So let’s take a deep dive and understand a skinimalism skincare routine.
What is skin minimalism?
The trend picked pace when people were locked indoors and needed to pamper their skin themselves. The results of this trend also got people hopping on the minimalist skincare routine wagon. Skin minimalism doesn’t mean getting rid of your skincare vanity, it is just incorporating products into your skincare regime more mindfully. It eliminates the need to layer your skin with multiple products and possibly irritate it.
The skincare essentials you will need for a skinimalism routine are similar to the practice of CTM, with just a couple of tweaks. A CTM routine is the process of cleansing, toning and moisturizing your skin twice a day. The benefits of CTM include that it doesn’t irritate sensitive skin and is not very time-consuming. The crux of a CTM routine and skin minimalism lies in choosing the quality of products, over their quantity. This is a great routine to practice for people venturing into the world of skincare. Let’s learn about the step by step process of building a minimal skincare routine.
1. Cleansing
Cleansing is a non-negotiable step for every good skincare routine. Cleansing your face twice a day helps you get rid of all the dust, dirt, bacteria and pollution trapped in your pores.
If you use makeup on an everyday basis, it is important to incorporate double cleansing in your skincare routine. This will ensure your skin is squeaky clean and there isn’t any makeup trapped in your skin. Start by using the Garnier Micellar water to gently get rid of all the makeup. Next, cleanse your face with the Garnier Bright Complete Brightening Duo Action Face Wash. This facewash is enriched with purifying properties and gives your skin an instant boost of freshness and radiance.
2. Toning
Using a toner on your skin helps to close pores and tighten them after cleansing. Toning is a great step that helps to protect and tighten your skin. Simply take a few drops of toner in your palms or on a cotton ball and dab it across your face gently.
3. Serum
Using a potent serum is an important part of a skin minimalism routine. Serums are packed with potent ingredients that target your skin concerns directly. They are essential in your skincare routine as specially formulated serums can help combat acne, skin ageing, dullness, etc. Using a vitamin C serum helps to visibly brighten your skin and give it a natural glow.
4. Moisturization
To seal it all in, the last step of your skincare routine has to be moisturizing your skin. Applying a moisturizer every day helps hydrate your skin and keep it looking plump and healthy. A Garnier moisturizer like the Bright Complete Vitamin C Serum Cream can be great to deeply nourish and moisturize your skin.
And there you have it, a simple yet effective minimal routine that will work wonders for your skin. So what are you waiting for? Get on board with the trend of skin minimalism and witness your skin transform.
