SKINIMALISM IS BACK: THE $22 SKINCARE TRIO THAT CUTS YOUR ROUTINE TO THREE STEPS
If your bathroom shelf is groaning under half-used serums, toners and creams that promised to change your life, you are definitely not alone.
After years of ten-step routines and endless layering, the beauty world is swinging back to skinimalism, and a new skincare trio from Skin Control is making the case that three steps really can be enough.
Each product in the line-up has its own job: one to refresh and prep, one to boost hydration and one to finish with plump, bouncy skin.
Best of all, each one costs $22 and you can pick them up with the weekly shop.
Why Less Is More Again
Skinimalism is not a new idea, but it is enjoying a fresh wave of attention.
The thinking is simple: rather than piling on product after product, you focus on the essentials your skin actually needs.
A pared-back skincare routine is also far easier to stick to on a busy weekday morning.
And fewer products means fewer bottles cluttering up your bathroom cabinet.
Step One: Jelly Swipes Facial Toner Pads
First up are the Jelly Swipes Facial Toner Pads, RRP $22.
They are designed to be used straight after cleansing, giving skin a cooling burst of hydration.
The pads contain a blend of ceramides, hyaluronic acid and collagen.
According to Skin Control, they help strengthen the skin barrier, refresh tired skin and restore bounce.
Step Two: Dewy Drops Bursting Capsule Serum
Next comes the Dewy Drops Bursting Capsule Serum, also RRP $22.
This multitasker is packed with tiny capsules suspended in a lightweight, quenching formula.
When the capsules burst on your skin, they release a concentrated mix of hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and peptides.
The brand says the serum works to refine texture, even out skin tone and deeply hydrate for a glowing finish.
Step Three: Bubble Cream Plumping Moisturiser
The final step is the Bubble Cream Plumping Moisturiser, RRP $22.
It uses plumping capsules infused with vitamin C, collagen and peptides, all suspended in a light gel base.
Skin Control says it visibly improves dullness, restores volume and supports a healthy skin barrier.
How To Use The Skincare Trio
The beauty of this skincare trio is that the order is easy to remember.
Cleanse first, swipe on a Jelly Swipes pad, follow with the Dewy Drops serum, then finish with Bubble Cream.
Each product is designed to work alongside the others to refresh, hydrate and plump.
If you are new to actives such as niacinamide or vitamin C, it is always worth doing a patch test first.
Where To Buy Skin Control
The Skin Control trio is available at Chemist Warehouse, Coles, Woolworths, Big W and online at skincontrol.com.au.
At $22 each, the full three-step skincare routine comes in at $66.
For anyone keen to clear the clutter from their bathroom shelf this summer, it could be a simple place to start.
