Skin-minimalism For Fresh-faced Easy Convenience

The global beauty market has continued to boom during the pandemic, with ‘skinimalism’, in particular, growing as consumers prioritise beauty treatments as a method of self-care. With 55% of Female facial skincare users reducing how frequently they wear cosmetics (Mintel 2020).

Consumers have embraced their natural skin and want to look their best effortlessly and naturally, they are seeking out products that enhance natural skin with brightening, texture and colour perfecting claims, they want a streamlined and minimal routine, also known as ‘skin-minimalism’. Products that are multifunctional, simple and easy to use.

The Rise Of Skincare-make-up Hybrid Products

Products that do more, so consumers can spend less are on the rise. A skincare product with all the active, long-term benefits of regular skincare and some of the instant effects of make-up that is quick and effortless to apply. This desire for a fresh-faced, less is more, healthy glow has led to people searching four times more this year than last year for ‘How to get naturally glowing skin’, and there has been a 180% year on year increase in searches for natural everyday make-up (Pinterest Business 2021).

Enhancing Skin Radiance In The Short & Long-term

This new considered and conscious consumption approach to beauty can be met through skincare loaded with skin-nourishing ingredients, potent long-term actives and instant effect pigments. Examples are Charlotte Tilbury Wonderglow Face Primer that can be used alone to give a gorgeous glowing finish with light diffusers, peptides and hyaluronic acid, amongst other ingredients to deliver instant and long term healthier-looking skin. Givenchy have launched a ‘Skin-Caring Glow Foundation’ that boasts of marrying make-up with skincare and boosted by a ‘powerhouse of active ingredients for skin improvements day by day.
