U BEAUTY Resurfacing Compound 50ml, $360.

Not so long ago, one belief reigned supreme: the more steps in your beauty regimen, the more you cared about your skin (and, dare we say, about yourself, too). We adopted a minimalist aesthetic for our wardrobes and homes, yet continued slathering on a slew of activepacked potions in the pursuit of a fl awless, glowing face – often resulting in a damaged epidermis. But a new generation of skincare backs the move towards a streamlined approach. Dubbed ‘skinimalism’, the trend favours using just a few multitasking products, and has the benefi t of being more sustainable (less products means less waste) and cost-e ective, too.

“Keeping the lipid barrier intact is essential to protect your skin as well as maintain your skin’s immune response,” says facialist Ingrid Seaburn. “Products need to be active but with a sophisticated delivery system to absorb without irritation. It’s about smarter is more.”

After years of multi-step routines, Tina Craig is pioneering the movement with her simplifi ed skincare line U Beauty. a streamlined One of the original fashion bloggers (of Bag approach to Snob fame), she’s a skincare obsessive with the cred to back it up. Want proof? The skincare takes brand’s Resurfacing Compound – designed centre stage. to replace all your serums, treating skin dullness, fi ne lines and wrinkles and improving elasticity in one hit – sold out within 48 hours of its 2019 launch. Another brand with a glowing reputation is Retrouvé, a unisex line created by Jami Morse Heidegger and her husband Klaus. Having spent years tinkering with the formulations, the duo – who fi rst made the products for their own use – soon realised their potential. The concise collection is full of concentrated multiuse products that protect, nourish and repair, and they’ve already garnered a cult following (Tracee Ellis Ross, giver of great glow, is a fan of the Luminous Cleansing Elixir). ¾
