How to: Save time, money and energy with skinimalism
Who doesn’t want to save time, money and energy? Investing in a skincare routine that is void of all the fluff, but still gets you the results you love is the reason the word ‘skinimalism’ has been gaining traction in the skincare and beauty world. Natio’s skin-first approach to creating natural Australian beauty ensures that the natural ingredients we choose to go into your favourite skincare products soothe, nourish and protect your skin.
It’s all about simplifying your skincare routine and focusing on fewer products, which can be incredibly beneficial for your skin. If that sounds like something you’re looking for, read on as we explore the benefits of skinimalism and what natural plant extracts and oils are best to keep your skin healthy.
What is Skinimalism?
Skinimalism is a minimalist approach to skincare. It’s all about simplifying your skincare routine and focusing on fewer products. Instead of a 12-step routine of different products, it encourages that you use just a few key items that address your skin’s specific needs. The idea is to give your skin a break from all the products and ingredients that can sometimes do more harm than good.
Benefits of Skinimalism
One of the biggest benefits of skinimalism is that it can be gentler on your skin. When you use fewer products, you’re exposing your skin to fewer ingredients, which means there’s less chance of irritation or inflammation. This can be especially beneficial if you have sensitive skin or are prone to breakouts.
Skinimalism can also be more sustainable. When you use fewer products, you’re consuming less packaging and producing less waste. This can help reduce your environmental footprint and contribute to a healthier planet.
Finally, skinimalism can also be more cost-effective. If you’re using fewer products, you’re spending less money on skincare overall. At Natio, we believe in cherishing your own uniquness and loving yourself by taking the time to care for your mental, spiritual and physical health. This is why Natio products are incredibly well priced and provide fantastic value for money.
