Less is More

Skincare meets simplicity

Skinmalism is all about embracing a less is more approach to skincare, using fewer products with higher quality ingredients. The cultural shift towards skinmalism is a reflection of our society’s need to simplify our routines, and focus on restoring and protecting our skin barrier. It’s a way to go back to the basics without sacrificing results.


FOR THE SKIN

Simplicity in skin care doesn't mean sacrificing effectiveness. In fact, quite the opposite is true. When we focus on a few key products with high-quality, active ingredients, we allow them to work in synergy with our skin's natural functions. This results in the long term health, radiance and protection of skin. Explore the Simple Rituals Discovery Set consisting of four simple essentials that focus on nourishing and restoring your skin.

Studies have shown that the skin's microbiome is healthier and more balanced when it's not bombarded with a constant stream of different products. By simplifying our routines we can reduce the risk of irritation and embrace a more streamlined skincare ritual.

FOR THE MIND

In a world full of ever-increasing options and choices, there is something to be said for simplicity. A minimalist approach to skincare can be a breath of fresh air, both for the skin and for the mind. The queen of decluttering, Marie Kondo said it best “if it doesn’t bring you joy - get rid of it”. The same logic can be applied to skin care. If the skin care doesn’t suit your skin’s needs and the products on your shelf are accumulating but your skin isn’t improving - toss them away and rebuild using a few high quality products for a ritual that is both effective and enjoyable.

FOR THE PLANET

The skincare industry has seen a boom in overconsumption, not unlike the fast fashion industry. With new trends and products popping up constantly, it's easy to get caught up in the cycle of buying more and more skincare products that are detrimental to your skin barrier as well as the planet. Through thoughtful, minimalistic skincare routines that prioritize quality over quantity, we can make a meaningful contribution to both our skin needs and the planet. By focusing on a few high-quality products that address the individual's specific needs, it's possible to achieve better results for the skin, without the environmental impact of excessive packaging and resource consumption.
