The latest in skincare trends? “Skinimalism.” The vaguely Sci-Fi-sounding word refers to using as few skincare products as possible, simplifying and streamlining your routine.

The idea is to keep your skincare focused on actually caring for your skin instead of focusing on buying the latest and greatest trending products.
