SKIP-CARE SKINCARE
THE LATEST TREND OUT OF TH E K-B E A U TY M O VEM E NT Just when you’d just gotten your head round the 10step K-beauty skincare routine, the new trend to come out of Korea turns around and slaps you in the face! Skip-care was born out of several frustrations… Firstly, many find the multi-step approach too confusing, complicated and full-on. Secondly, people are busy and often simply don’t have the time to follow a regimen which involves more than 2-3 products. Nextly, those who are applying all these products can’t really be sure which product is working for them and if not careful their skin will experience product overload, leading to skin irritation, congestion and breakouts amongst other things.
Lastly, sustainability is the word on everybody’s lips and using less products on a daily basis is one way that we can all do our part for the environment. It doesn’t mean that you have to give up your favourite products, just use them mindfully and listen to what your skin needs more. Think before you buy a new product, and always use up what you have before investing in something else. Adapting skip-care into your beauty regimen also doesn’t mean you can never indulge in your multi-step facial pampering, there’s no reason why you can’t use both approaches as time permits, and when your skin requires some extra nurturing!
