Minimalist Skincare Essentials

“I would love to know what your minimalist eco-friendly skincare essentials looks like, especially in the dry summer months.”

While using too few skincare products can leave your skin dehydrated and undernourished, using too many can disrupt its natural pH. Minimalist skincare is a ‘thing’, and dermatologists argue that a comprehensive routine relies on just 5 products.

On this bite-sized episode I’m answering a listener’s question about the items I put on my face each and every day. And because I personally don’t have much of a “routine”, per se, I’m also outlining the 5 items recommended by minimalist-minded dermatologists.

Here’s a preview:
