Skinimalism: The Skincare Method of 2022
The phrase “skinimalism” alone probably gives you enough information to understand what it means. But to be certain, what exactly does it mean? Let’s look at the reasons it was included in the list of 2022 skincare trends.
The newest beauty craze, skinimalism, is around to streamline your skincare regimen while saving both time and money. By the term alone, a combination of the words “skin” and “minimalism,” you can infer that the concept is mostly about streamlining your skincare routine and creating a routine that enables you to get healthy, glowing skin using only the minimal number of items.
According to Pinterest’s Pinterest Predicts 2021 report, skinimalism is “the end of the caked-on makeup look.” Furthermore, to accept “slow” beauty and “letting your natural skincare texture shine through,” the social networking site asserts that these lifestyle changes highlight ease. A skinimalist routine only uses the most important items.
Biochemist and skincare expert, Elle MacLeman, suggests that using various skincare products — especially the wrong ones — can disturb your skin’s pH balance and harm it. Your skin becomes more prone to conditions like acne, dryness, and redness. But you may easily attain healthy, bright skin if you adopt a simplified routine and use high-quality products and nutrients.
“Skinimalism is a movement toward embracing your real skin — less makeup and fewer beauty products — and allowing your natural glow to shine as opposed to heavy layers of makeup and contouring that often reflect unrealistic beauty standards commonly seen on social media,” says Sejal Shah, M.D., F.A.A.D., a board-certified dermatologist in New York City.
Additionally, the core of skinimalism emphasizes the rejection of aesthetic standards and the notion of “covering up” or “curing faults.” Skinimalism exhorts you to accept the authentic, gorgeous you by going unfiltered.
Sales in the premium beauty sector fell by 23% in 2020, according to the NPD group. However, the self-care craze persisted, and individuals began to view their skincare routine as a caring activity and a way to show themselves affection.
According to Emma Fishwick, account manager at NPD UK Beauty, “face cream, facial cleanser, and facial exfoliators are the three sub-segments where consumers have gone back to basics, while some “additional steps,” such as eye treatments and masks, have declined in importance in face skin products as consumers have “skinimized” what products they’re using.”
In several aspects, skinimalism encourages sustainability. First off, utilizing fewer products results in far less waste being created. Second, natural products avoid using some environmentally hazardous chemicals and compounds that are used in the production process. Third, fair trade and ethical goods support better working conditions.
Hydration and protection are also necessary for a skin-friendly regimen. To keep moisture within, use a basic cream containing hyaluronic acid. Vitamin C serum will shield cells from oxidative damage stresses. “Vitamin C is one of the most well-studied topical antioxidants in skin-care products,” says Blair Murphy-Rose, M.D., a dermatologist in New York City. “It has been scientifically demonstrated to boost your skin’s collagen production and to reverse free radical damage, helping to slow down the aging of the skin.”
The conscious beauty trend is being driven forth by consumers. A new Nosto survey on the prospects of e-commerce in the beauty and cosmetics industries found that 68% of consumers are drawn to “clean” products. Furthermore, items that are marketed as “natural and organic” and possessing “sustainable packaging” had a positive impact on 59% of participants.
Your skin should just require routine, dedicated usage of a few high-quality treatments to be at its optimum. The following moment you catch yourself purchasing a brand’s new trendy release to your internet shopping basket after arriving at your destination, stop and ask yourself if it will actually benefit you or just clog up your shelf or face.
