Are you one of those people who have filled your bathroom cabinet with an arsenal of beauty products that promise wonders? Is your shelf full of night creams, day creams, serums and a host of other creams that help with everything from wrinkles, spots, pimples, acne, pores, lines, dark circles, puffiness and all kinds of other skin problems?
Wouldn’t it be nice to make things a little easier on yourself – and your skin?
Imagine having just three really good products that do several things at once – so your skin doesn’t need anything else. You avoid wasting unnecessary time on your skincare routine and get more space in the bathroom.
The new skincare trend, Skin Streaming, is becoming more and more popular and is about just that: using fewer but good skincare products that cover more needs.
But why use fewer products?
It is a minimalist approach to skincare, where the goal is to give the skin exactly what it needs, without stuffing it full of products. The skin however cannot absorb everything at once, so you may end up with products that either don’t work, or have the potential to irritate the skin due to unfavorable combinations of ingredients.
The advantage of using fewer products
In addition to saving money, using fewer products helps protect the skin from irritation or rashes caused by experimenting with too many products. The goal is to provide the skin with what it needs without compromising the delicate skin barrier and without going over budget.
Who should consider simplifying their skin care routine?
If your skin has started to become more sensitive or show signs of irritation more easily, reducing the number of products will make a big difference. It’s like hitting the “restart button” for your skin.
And to be honest, many of us who are in between or have completed menopause will have noticed that our skin is more sensitive than before, right?
Although it may be beneficial for many to reduce the number of products, there are also many people struggling with skin problems such as acne or rosacea who would benefit from some changes to their skin care routine.
Many get good results by simplifying their skin care routines, while others have taken it a step further by eliminating their skin care routines altogether. Skin starving is another trend that has attracted attention. It is a drastic approach that often leads to dryness, irritation, and even more sensitive skin.
It is generally recognized that it is important to maintain a basic skin care routine, even for those who struggle with various skin conditions.
How to simplify your skin care routine
Want to sort through your beauty products but not sure what you really need? A simple and effective daily skin care routine includes 3 basic steps:
- Facial cleanser
- Serum with antioxidants
- Moisturizing cream
In addition, you should use a face scrub that stimulates cell renewal a couple of times a week. And don’t forget a protective sunscreen.
Here’s a simple skincare routine consisting of 3 multi-active products designed to leave your skin hydrated, plumped, glowing and radiant.
PHASE ①, morning and evening:
Vessi Nordic Makeup Removal Balm
This is a unique, gentle oil-based cleanser with oats and sea buckthorn berries that blends into the skin and cleanses effectively, whether you have makeup on or not. It can also be used on the skin around the eyes to remove waterproof makeup. Makeup Removal Balm does not dry out the skin, but leaves it clean and fresh, regardless of your skin type.
PHASE ②, morning and evening:
Vessi Nordic Friming Serum
Enriched with northern birch sap rich in amino acids, minerals, proteins and antioxidants, as well as calcium-rich red algae and hydrating hyaluronic acid, this facial serum provides the skin with a great deal of nourishment and hydration. It has a firming effect, gives a radiant glow and can also be used on the skin around the occhi.
PHASE ③, morning and evening:
Vessi Nordic Recovery Cream
A face cream that intensely nourishes and moisturizes the skin and can be used as both a day and night cream. Blueberry seed oil strengthens the skin barrier, vitamin C-rich sea buckthorn oil protects and soothes the skin, and 3% niacinamide works on skin structure and stimulates collagen production.
STEP ①, morning and evening:
Vessi Nordic Makeup Removal Balm
Dette er en unik, mild, oljebasert rens med havre og tindvedbær som smelter inn i huden og rengjør effektivt, enten du bruker sminke eller ei. Den kan også brukes på huden rundt øynene, og fjerner vannfast sminke. Makeup Removal Balm tørker ikke ut huden, og etterlater en ren og frisk følelse – uansett hudtype.
TRINN ②, morgen og kveld:
Vessi Nordic Friming Serum
Beriket med nordisk bjørkesevje full av aminosyrer, mineraler, proteiner og antioksidanter, samt kalsiumrik rødalge og fuktighetsgivende hyaluronsyre, gir dette ansiktsserumet masse næring og fuktighet til huden. Det virker oppstrammende, gir en strålende glød, og kan også fint brukes på huden rundt øynene.
TRINN ③, morgen og kveld:
Vessi Nordic Recovery Cream
En ansiktskrem som gir huden intensiv næring og fuktighet, og som kan brukes både som dag- og nattkrem. Olje fra tyttebærfrø styrker hudbarrieren, C-vitaminrik tindvedolje beskytter og roer ned huden, og 3% niacinamid jobber med hudstrukturen og stimulerer kollagenproduksjonen.
Finally, daily use of sunscreen is recommended to protect the skin from sun damage, signs of aging, and hyperpigmentation.
