What does it take to keep your skin healthy, clear, and glowing? 

Cleanse, tone, moisturize—wash your face to rid skin of impurities, apply toner to balance the skin’s pH levels, and moisturize for long-lasting hydration. Eventually, this evolved to include additional ways to keep our skin supple and youthful. Essences, ampoules, and concentrated serums became staples of multi-step routines. Eye cream also became a must, alongside sunscreen, to protect the skin from UV rays. We were told it was important to exfoliate twice a week to remove dead skin cells. Whenever possible, using a sheet mask would be a great way to hydrate the skin.

While it may seem like a great idea to pamper your skin with all these products,  nothing in excess can ever be great for you. Case in point, excessive skincare efforts can compromise the skin barrier, cause redness, prompt irritation, and in some cases, even cause acne. 

Enter skinimalism—a stripped-back beauty regimen that makes products we use work harder so we can ditch these double-digit routines and avoid overloading our skin. 

Quite simply, with the right products, you can achieve healthy, glowing skin. The entire Green Chemistry line is anchored on this fact because our products target problem areas while allowing healthy skin to shine in the simplest ways possible. 

That said, here are our expert tips on getting your skinimalistic routine started:

1. Choose Multipurpose Products

Remember, you don’t need one product for every skincare issue. Instead, you can address several skin concerns with one well-chosen product. High-quality, multipurpose products work in synergy with natural ingredients to address multiple skin concerns. For example, if you have skin that’s prone to aging, our Phyto Glow serum can be applied after cleansing to fight cell aging, hydrate the skin, and balance your skin’s pH. 

2. Stick to the Basics

Use only what your skin needs. Applying too many products may work against you and cause irritation or breakouts. Amid the surging popularity of multi-step cleansing routines—Green Chemistry sought to introduce a product with simplicity in mind with Daily Detox. The unique deep cleansing mask made from natural ingredients exfoliates and detoxifies your skin from pollution and debris, leaving skin smooth and hydrated, ready to be drenched in any of our nutrient-rich serums. 

3. Eat Healthily

Your diet plays a critical role in your skin health. A lot of nutrients present in food can help promote healthier skin. By choosing to eat a well-balanced diet, you’re not only supporting your overall health, but you're also preventing skin aging, reducing dryness, and improving the quality of your skin. 

4. Go Natural

You may think that products loaded with active ingredients are necessary to ensure the efficacy of your skincare routine, but it just comes down to being smart about the products you choose to apply. All our products are made using natural, high-quality botanicals following scientifically researched formulas designed to deliver optimal results for your skin’s health. Steer clear of products that contain artificial dyes, fragrances, parabens, or anything that has been tested on animals. 

Bottom line?
