If you haven’t noticed, I am a firm believer that less is more. I live this principle out in my spending, my shopping, my digital life, my papers, my media (social and otherwise)…and the list goes on. Another place where minimalism is very important to me is in my daily routines. Today I am going to share how I take a minimalist approach to my evening skincare routine and how you can streamline your process as well!
01. Get rid of that makeup
In the evening it is so, so, SO important to make sure you remove all of your makeup before you wash your face. I made the mistake for far too long of just jumping in and washing my face before making sure that all of the makeup from the day was gone. I use a washcloth and Lush’s 9 to 5 Cleansing Lotion as my makeup remover, but it can also be used as a standalone cleanser.
02. Wash up
One of my good friends with beautiful skin has been using the Mia 2 face cleansing brush for quite some time and consistently told me I needed to give it a try. The main reason for my hesitancy was the price, because it is rather high-end. However, with the holidays coming up this could be a great time to drop some hints that this would make a great gift, or you could even treat yourself 🙂 You can use the code HERCAMPUS through October 31 to get 15% off!
I use the Mia 2 every other night (although it is so gentle that you could use it twice a day, everyday) with the daily cleanser that comes in the set. On the other days I love to use Lush’s Herbalism cleanser; it smells so good and keeps my skin balanced.
03. Mask time
So that’s it: literally three steps for an evening skincare routine. While you’ll have to experiment to figure out exactly what works for you, these three easy steps can help you be a minimalist when it comes to your routine.
