Suggested minimal skincare routine for normal/ Sensitive skin types
What if the key to healthy, glowing skin was actually doing less?
As an Esthetician, I typically recommend a minimal skincare routine.
It’s not just about cutting down on products—it's about embracing simplicity and focusing on what truly works for your skin.
Why Minimalism Matters
Less Irritation, More Balance
Overloading your skin with too many products can lead to irritation, clogged pores, and imbalances. Your skin doesn’t need a 10-step regimen to look its best—it needs the right balance of hydration, protection, and targeted treatment. A minimalist approach helps avoid unnecessary stress on your skin while still delivering essential care.Focus on What Works
When you streamline your routine, you have the space to truly understand what your skin needs. Rather than switching between dozens of products that might not be effective or suitable for your skin type, a simple routine lets you focus on key ingredients that deliver results. Think gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen—plus one or two treatments if needed.Invest in the right products
Let’s face it: skincare can get expensive, and if you’re juggling multiple products, it can become hard to know what’s really making a difference. A minimal routine allows you to invest in high-quality, multi-purpose products that actually work, saving you both time and money in the long run.
The Essentials of a Minimal Skincare Routine
Cleanser: The foundation of any routine. A gentle cleanser that removes dirt and oil without stripping your skin is a must.
Moisturizer: Hydration is key. A good moisturizer helps lock in moisture and maintain your skin’s barrier.
Sunscreen: Protect your skin from UV damage every day. Sunscreen is a non-negotiable step, even if you’re indoors.
Optional Treatments: Depending on your skin’s needs, you might choose to add a treatment for the day and/or night like a serum or exfoliant. But keep it to a minimum—select products that address specific concerns, like acne or hyperpigmentation.

Sometimes less really is more.
