Say goodbye to the 10 step K-beauty routine and bombarding our skin, and say hello to smaller INCI lists, less products within beauty regimes…
Previously, the focus was on using social media to portray a filtered / airbrushed version of ourselves. More recently, we have seen a shift towards natural, minimal or no-makeup beauty looks where your real skin — texture, pores, blemishes and discolouration — shines through.
Why Less is More
A common issue with complex, multistep, regimes is skin irritation - rashes, inflamed breakouts, redness, and flare-ups of conditions like peri-oral dermatitis… Using too many products, trying new formulas each day, layering incorrectly, or combining too many actives overwhelms and confuses the skin.
Recommended Ingredients:
- Sunhancer™ Eco SPF Booster (Lubrizol) - Made from a blend of naturally derived and sustainably sourced waxes, biodegradable and non-persistent in the environment, increases the SPF of sun protection formulations.
- Stepan Mild L3-G MB (Stepan) - Naturally derived, multi-functional emollient/surfactant , creamy lathers, reduced eye irritation and a sensation of comfort after use
- HyaCare® Tremella (Evonik) - Naturally isolated hyaluronic acid mimic, proven moisturisation and humectant properties
- Sorbosil BFG (PQ Corporation) - Non-abrasive silica granules
- Skinolance® (Evonik) - Helps to keep and restore the natural balance of the skin microbiota
