Hello! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Skin minimal\u2019 is the new kid on the block when it comes to skincare\u2026. and not only is this better for your wallet and the planet, it’s a whole lot better for our skin!  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a reformed \u2018beauty junkie\u2019 I\u2019m a tried and tested fan of minimal skin. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

See, my skin was all over the place a year after having my son and I ended up visiting a dermatologist to get to the bottom of why.  <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dermatologist blamed stubborn spots on my excessive product use and recommended a stripped-back skincare regime. Six months later my skin was completely clear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s what I learned on the skin minimal road\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf34 <\/strong>Go for multitaskers <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

K-Beauty made the 10-step skincare a thing, and who heck has the time or money for that! Too many steps and products are overwhelming for skin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead<\/em> c<\/em><\/strong>hoose products that are multi-taskers <\/em><\/strong>rather than lots of products layered on top of each other, like a natural<\/em> oil-based cleanser and a gentle daily exfoliator<\/em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf34 <\/strong>Turn down influencers <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s be real, most influencers are in it for the \u2018promo\u2019 pounds and as a result many of us have OTT skin routines that are doing more harm than good. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strip it back and <\/em>follow one dermatologist <\/em><\/strong>that fits with your ethos.  <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf34 <\/strong>Exfoliate regularly, but gently<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trend for aggressive exfoliation is hurting skin, and many of us have used too many peels or have over-done harsh scrubs that leave skin overexposed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go for <\/em>natural, regular exfoliation<\/em> to buff away bull dead skin cells leaving you with healthy, radiant, glowing skin. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s my  stripped back skincare routine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
