The skinimalism trend is redefining beauty by favoring short routines. Does this mean the end of endless routines? Are short routines just as effective? How can you tell which products to keep from the superfluous ones? How can you create a skinimalism routine without sacrificing effectiveness? We'll explain everything.
What is Skinimalism?
Skinimalism is a skincare philosophy that emphasizes simplicity: using fewer products, but formulas rich in natural, multifunctional active ingredients that work synergistically. Rather than accumulating steps, it's about selecting targeted treatments that address several needs at once—hydration, purification, radiance—while respecting the skin.
How does skinimalism work?
- Concentrated formulas : Each product contains powerful active ingredients for fast, visible results.
- Multifunctional care : A single product can hydrate, protect, and reduce imperfections.
- Synergy between steps : Products must be designed to work together, such as La Manière Douce , which prepares the skin, and L'Art du Portrait , which amplifies its effects.
Why does Skinimalism outperform long routines?
Complex routines with multiple products can overload the skin and lead to waste. Skinimalism offers a smarter alternative for those seeking efficiency and sustainability.
Time saving
A skin-minimalist routine, like our Radiance Duo, takes less than 5 minutes a day. In two steps – exfoliate with La Manière Douce 1 to 2 times a week, and moisturize daily with L'Art du Portrait – skin is effortlessly transformed.
Better absorption
Too many products can saturate the skin, reducing the absorption of active ingredients. A short routine, with rich and complementary formulas, allows the skin to fully assimilate each ingredient. For example, La Manière Douce removes impurities, preparing the skin to receive the hydrating benefits of L'Art du Portrait .
Less waste
Accumulating a multitude of products often leads to waste. Because expiration dates have passed, due to the proliferation of packaging, or simply because the active ingredients are not delivered to their full potential, multiplying the steps is never a good idea for the planet.
Optimized results
Studies show that simplified routines improve skin health by limiting the occlusive effect caused by layering products and reducing the risk of irritation. They also prevent the "cocktail effect": using multiple products can lead to adverse reactions due to interactions between different active ingredients.
