This blog answers all of your queries concerning simple skincare routine . After reading this you will be able to curate a minimalistic yet effective skincare routine. I will give an outline of 8 crucial tips that can help you make smart choices when investing in skincare products.

Skincare Minimalism
Minimalism is any pattern or fashion wherein the simplest and fewest components are used to produce the highest result. Minimalism is a way of life that has been developed by many people, including myself. I have always wanted to be more conscious about my use of product, how I use them and where I put it. Minimalism is about taking care of your body and mind.
Skincare minimalism is much-needed in this 21st century as everyone have started their skincare routine by spending their time and money at the risk of their skin being damaged. With lot of skinfluencers around, we naturally end-up buying more products than what we actually use; forgetting that skinfluencers buy and test new products as its their job.
According to skincare "LESS IS MORE", I trust that.
If you want to be a skincare minimalist, here are 8 simple tips to make sure you don't get caught up in the clutter:
Why guess when you can ask a dermatologist?
Let the experts decide before your wallet cries and skin is fried.!
Its ordinarily human nature to try and make mistakes and end-up consulting dermal after our skin barrier is damaged. If you have major skin concern, firstly invest on a dermatologist before you put money into products. Trust me it is going to save a lot of time and money.
“Skin is subjective and so skincare is”
Analyze your skin type and skin issue
do proper research on products before buying. Using products that suits your skin type will prevent from skin damage and helps to meet your skin issues.
Invest in multifunctional product
It has combination of 1 to 3 (max) ingredients which performs multiple tasks and doesn’t burn your pocket.
“Minimalism is not about having less. It’s about making room for more of what matters.”
jus saying
A niacinamide serum that also has hyaluronic acid and centella.
This serum would soothe, hydrate and reduce appearance of pores.
So there is no need to buy hyaluronic acid serum or centella cream separately.
Grab your deal
If you are following one brand skincare, try to purchase your products during sale time.
Make use of sale like B2G2 free!! Or on 30-50% off most of the time!!
Provided, if you are buying from other e-commerce stores like Amazon, Nykaa etc. you still save a lot when you buy during sale or using coupon codes.
Pro tip:
If there is sale it doesn’t mean you need to buy!!
Brands run sale all around the year!
Buy only if you need it !!!
Always finish off the product before you put hands on the new one.
This strategy keeps you minimalistic: it ensures that you would have the pleasure of the purchase with no sense of excess guilt. Declutter the used and expired products often.
Take advantage of offline stores for testing before you invest in make-up products.
Before buying make-up products online, visit a physical store and find the shade that suits you. Often, we buy the wrong shade or product that doesn't suit our skin type; making our made-up to look artificial, cakey and washed-out. This leads to product wastage and monetary loss.
Don’t be harsh on yourself to follow the routine when your mind/body isn’t willing to.
This could cause mental pressure and increase your stress.
Skincare is just one of the me-time to care yourself and its not the only way to do so.
Keep your routine simple and practical.
Plan your regime and buy only 1 or 2 products for each step.
Here I give you a basic routine that suits the majority out there:
P.S. don't get overwhelmed !! just face wash and sunscreen has done magic to many out there!
This table below gives an elaborate but yet minimal products to form a routine for skin,hair and body

Bonus Tip
If I am not wrong, we all compare the prices on different websites before we buy the products right?
No matter where you purchase, be sure to check the date of expiry; most close to expiry date products are sold at discounted prices, and in case when you're purchasing from third-party websites, you should be assured of the product's authenticity.
Who knew skincare minimalism could be your wallet's best friend and your schedule's savior?!
Keep that skin happy and healthy!
So go ahead, follow these tips and bask in the glow of contentment!
