Discover the skinimalism trend and how to build a minimalist skincare routine. Achieve radiant results with our guide, using the Liz Earle range

Cleanse, tone, sheet mask, serums upon serums, face mist, eye cream, then finally moisturise and SPF – we get it! With such an abundance of fantastic skincare out there, it’s easy to accumulate a lengthy regime. And while it’s nice to indulge occasionally, some skincare enthusiasts are trying out the new trend of skinimalism: AKA, skincare minimalism.

Read on to learn all about the trend, including how to simplify skincare and our Liz Earle Beauty recommendations.

Skinimalism, or skin minimalism, is all about having a super simplistic skincare regime. A minimalist skincare routine focuses on using the right products for effective, lasting results – while saving you some time, too. 

While a minimalistic regime is perfect if you live a busy life with little time for skincare, anyone can adopt this routine style. Skinimalism is all about having basic skincare steps, using products that really work. Think of it as a capsule wardrobe for your skincare collection: you’re only using the products that pack a punch, while removing any unnecessary ones. 

 


It may feel contradictory, but a minimalistic skincare regime can actually be more effective than a longer one. 

A simple skincare routine typically incorporates products with effective and more potent ingredients. So, one product in a simplified regime could work just as well as multiple in a longer one.

By adopting a simplified skincare routine, you get to truly understand your skin’s needs. Each step in your regime is important, so you can take your time to select the perfect product for you and your skincare goals, learning what ingredients to look out for and the best way to apply. 

While skinimalism may feel like you’re doing less self-care compared to a longer routine, by carefully selecting your steps and products for the best results, you’re arguably making your self-care more efficient and effective.

 


Your less-is-more skinimalism regime starts with three steps:

•    Cleanse
•    Tone
•    Moisturise (+ SPF during the day!)

When selecting these products, keep your skincare goals in mind. Reach for products tailored to your skin type and concerns and focus on quality ingredients for optimal results. 

Got some leftover masks, extra serums or other skincare from your previous regime? Don’t throw them out – save them for your extra-special pampers!

A skinimalism skincare routine is all about simple but effective results. Luckily for you, Liz Earle Beauty focuses on the best of botanical skincare, making it a minimalistic match made in heaven.

The foundation of skinimalism is a good cleanser, and that’s where Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish™ comes in. With key botanicals of rosemary, chamomile, cocoa butter and eucalyptus essential oil, you can easily remove daily impurities, pollutants and makeup – including stubborn mascara. Use with the cloth to gently exfoliate the skin, revealing a radiant finish.  

Next up, toner. Our Instant Boost™ Skin Tonic Toner leaves skin feeling refreshed, prepping the face for the rest of your regimen. Aloe vera, calendula and cucumber soothe and hydrate the skin, leaving it with a healthy-looking radiance.

Finally, moisturise. Lock in the first part of your regime and protect your skin barrier – and make sure to use an SPF on top during the day. 

Whether you prefer a lightweight formula, something richer or one for specific goals like hydration, Liz Earle Beauty has a wealth of moisturisers to choose from. Plus, most of our moisturisers can be used day and night, making your regime even simpler. 

While you could skip serum to make your routine even more streamlined, adding one in before moisturising can help you target specific skin concerns. Use the same one morning or night, or different ones for each; reach for a lightweight serum during the day, and something heavier in the evening. We love the Restore & Glow™ Instant Radiance Serum for a lightweight daytime serum, which includes vitamin C-rich acerola cherry and niacinamide for the ultimate natural-looking glow. Then, revitalise skin overnight with our Liz Earle Superskin™ Concentrate.

Looking for more of an all-rounder? Get a concentrated hydration boost with Liz Earle Skin Repair™ Hydrating Serum. This formula uses a blend of plant-based hyaluronic acid, hydrating snow mushroom and soothing niacinamide to feel skin looking instantly replenished.*  

An effective skincare regime doesn’t have to feel never-ending. You don’t need countless products – all you need are ones that deliver results. 

And that’s what we believe in at Liz Earle Beauty. We harness potent ingredients from the natural world, making you able to achieve your goals even with minimal skincare steps. You can even build your own personalised skincare routine by picking  a cleanser, toner and moisturiser across the different Liz Earle Beauty skincare ranges. Our Glow Essentials routine is three steps too, helping you get fantastic, glowing results with as few steps as possible.
 

Sometimes, less is more – and this can be said for your skincare routine. By focusing on products that promise results, with potent ingredients that deliver, you can look after your skin with as few steps as possible. And, thanks to our expertly curated routine sets, you can take the guesswork out of your regimen. Easy peasy!
