Skin Minimalism: The New Beauty Philosophy That’s Changing the Game
Do you know what "Skin Minimalism" is just by hearing the term? But how well do we really understand this major trend that is gaining more and more ground?
The word Skinimalism or Skin Minimalism, derived from "skin" and "minimalism," became a powerful buzzword in early 2021. Since then, more and more people have embraced it as part of their skincare routine.
From 2018 until the onset of COVID-19—an event that transformed our lives—many followed the Korean skincare model, which consists of at least 10 steps and multiple products. However, during the pandemic, our beauty habits shifted.
Suddenly, we sought simplicity, convenience, and effectiveness! In early 2021, Pinterest named Skin Minimalism as one of the biggest trends, and the internet went wild. Since then, it has dominated social media, especially TikTok, and as concerns about skin barrier health and irritations grow, the minimalist approach to skincare is here to stay.
What Does Skin Minimalism Include?
Minimalist beauty focuses on the essential skincare steps we’ve known for years:
The key difference? The products used for these steps are multifunctional—they offer hydration with anti-aging benefits, cleansing with acne-fighting properties, or sun protection with a hint of coverage.
The core routine remains the same, but each product serves multiple purposes, reducing the number of items and steps in your skincare routine. For example, instead of layering multiple creams, you could opt for a moisturizer that also provides anti-aging and antioxidant protection, such as Active Hyaluronic Cream.
Minimalism in Makeup
Skin Minimalism extends beyond skincare to makeup, emphasizing simplicity and self-acceptance. Instead of covering up acne marks or freckles with layers of foundation, this trend embraces a natural, effortless look with minimal products.
What Are the Benefits of Skin Minimalism?
1. More Time, Less Expense
By simplifying your daily beauty routine, you'll save time, whether it's to enjoy a quiet morning coffee or get extra sleep.
With fewer beauty steps, you also need fewer products, significantly reducing costs. Multipurpose products, like Multipurpose Dry Oil, help you save time and money without compromising on skincare.
2. Better Skin Barrier Protection
In recent years, we've been overloading our skin with too many products, causing irritations. Instead, a minimalist routine with high-quality, gentle, and effective products nourishes the skin without overwhelming it.
All Euthalia products are made with 100% natural ingredients that respect the skin barrier—like Grandma's Beeswax Balm, which is multi-use and made with organic ingredients.
3. A More Sustainable Lifestyle
While many talk about environmental protection, how many truly act on it? Recycling is great, but reducing consumption is even better.
Overconsumption of beauty products depletes natural resources, wastes water, and increases carbon footprints. By buying fewer, fully utilized products, you help the planet breathe.
Why Are So Many People Embracing Skin Minimalism?
Though Skin Minimalism isn’t new, its simplicity has won people over.
By contrast, the 10-step Korean routine—while luxurious—requires time, dedication, and financial investment. Applying multiple products also increases the risk of irritating the skin barrier through the overuse of strong ingredients.
At the end of the day, how many products does one person really need? Storing countless skincare items may look great, but is it practical? How many moisturizers and serums can you truly use in a year? And what happens to the unused ones? Do they end up in the trash or get recycled?
Ultimately, quality always outweighs quantity. Minimalism encourages the use of fewer but higher-quality products, allowing them to work without interference from excessive ingredients, leading to visible, long-term benefits.
Euthalia products are made from pure natural ingredients, designed to be gentle yet effective, making it easy to embrace Skin Minimalism while ensuring optimal skincare results.
Each product is high-quality, multifunctional, and suitable for all skin types and needs.
