The Power of a Minimalist Skincare Routine
This article by comfort zone shares the benefits of a minimalist skin care routine and how to create a minimalist skincare routine.
What Jen + Jill have to say:
Jen emphasizes that having less is more regarding the skincare routine. Having fewer skin care products doesn’t imply lower-quality alternatives. Still, it suggests that buying less of them could help a lot with exposing our skin to irritations, thus preventing any healthcare expenses in the future. On top of that, embracing this habit not only promotes sustainability and saves time, but it also reduces clutter, improving our decision-making physically and mentally.
To start with your minimal skincare journey, you can follow 5 simple steps: assess your skincare needs, choose multi-purpose products, simplify your steps, be consistent, and adjust just as needed.
Best ways to save money on skin care
This article by Elyse Worthington reveals a few tips on having healthy skin without spending too much.
What Jen + Jill have to say:
Jill emphasizes the importance of understanding your means and identifying what works best for you, and only buying those things. As there are tons of different options and alternatives out there it is important to remember to keep it simple. Besides, there are a lot of ways to save money and still have a good routine! You don’t have to have all the options, but you do have all the options.
Your skin type and your current skin care routine
Because Jen’s skin type is oily, she primarily uses Cerave products as moisturizers as it is affordable and highly recommended by dermatologists. On the other hand, Jill has normal skin but is leaning towards dry skin, which could also lead to breakouts. Therefore, diet is essential for her as sugars don’t work well with her skin. Dime is her go-to shop as they offer quality and affordable products.
