Skinimalism has a variety of approaches. Like the minimalist concept it seeks to reduce the products you use and make you try a more natural process, or one that is less complicated. When you decide to try skinimalism, you are subscribing to allowing your skin to breathe, especially your face area. This buzz has reached its peak especially during this period when people are staying at home more and needing very little makeup on.

One of the ways to practice skinimalism is that you can choose to give the skincare routine a complete break for a few days. This is also called skin fasting where all you do is hydrate, and stop using any applications. Being that your skin is actually a barrier, when you clog it with many things, it can actually lead to breakouts. This method of pulling down everything will ensure that your skin gets to breathe. If you are walking outside, you can use some sunscreen to protect you from the sun rays. Any other product is not welcome to your face.

Another way of practicing skinimalism is by using more multipurpose products. These significantly reduce the amount of items you use to apply on your face. Since one product can stand in for the other, it saves you a great deal. You can also get into the skinimalism bandwagon by going back to the three steps that are a must for healthy skin. If you purpose to cleanse, tone and moisturize your face daily, without fail, then you’ll be reducing on other extra products.

Having simpler night routines are also part of skinimalism. It may involve you applying a simple vitamin E serum, and sleeping. This process is contrary to the normal ones where you use many night creams.

Trying skinimalism is a good thing, one that refreshes and rejuvenates your skin.
