JAKARTA - The latest facial care products are always tempting. From serums, face oils, masks, creams, gels, and toners with various functions always attracts attention.

Coupled with trends such as the “10-Step Korean skin care routine” which makes the routine of taking care of the face longer and requires more products.

From time to time, facial care manufacturers continue to launch new products. Most of them have claims to improve the condition of the skin until it reaches its prime, smooth without blemishes, glows, looks bright, and looks young.

This condition ultimately makes women impulsive. Without realizing it, they spend so much that everything piles up on the dresser.

Melissa Kanchanapoomi Levin, MD, a board-certified dermatologist and founder of Entière Dermatology, thinks that having a little facial is better.

"In fact, overdoing it with layered makeup or layering on too many skin care products can exacerbate existing skin problems or create new ones," explains Melissa.

Now is the time to give your skin a break and this is the basis why skinimalism will be in trend in 2021.

What is skinimalism?

Simply put, skinimalism can be interpreted as a minimalist version of a beauty routine. Without the need for a lot of products and stages of care, it's time to make skin healthy and naturally glow.

Going deeper, skinimalism will save time, money and be environmentally friendly because you will reduce packaging waste.

Worried about skin problems such as acne, blemishes, dark spots, wrinkles, dullness, and large pores?

By practicing the concept of skinimalism, it means that you must be willing to throw away the idea of perfect beauty by covering up flaws.

Skinimalism will encourage everyone to feel beautiful as it is. Change your focus so you don't always hide imperfections. Rather it provides beneficial care for the skin.

"So many people have spent a lot of money on products, tried so many different skincare trends, and then got really frustrated and felt hopeless about the results," says Melissa.

To run skinimalism, you really only need to have three basic products.

First, a face cleanser to clean the skin from dirt. Second, moisturizer so that the skin stays healthy and keeps moisture away. The third is sunscreen to protect the skin from exposure to UV rays.

If needed, you can add other products that can maximize skin condition. For example, anti-aging serum or acne spot remedy.
