Skincare has become increasingly complex, with multi-step routines, layering trends, and product overload often positioned as essential to achieving healthy skin. But when it comes to preparing your skin for makeup, this approach can do more harm than good.
Heavy layers of serums, moisturisers, and occlusives - particularly in the morning - can interfere with how your makeup performs, leading to pilling, excess shine, and decreased wear time. What begins as an attempt to boost hydration and glow can end up undermining the final result.
Instead, a more streamlined, minimalist approach to skincare can support both skin health and makeup longevity, allowing your products to work more effectively and your skin to breathe.
Minimalist Skincare = Better Makeup Results
Simplifying your routine helps your skin - and your makeup - perform at their best. Here's why:
Fewer layers = better product absorption
Lightweight textures reduce pilling and shine
Saves time, money, and product waste
Minimised risk of irritation
The result? Skin that feels comfortable, looks radiant, and stays makeup-ready all day.
The key to healthy, radiant skin isn’t how many products you use, but how well they work together. At Skin & Tonic, we believe in the power of minimalist skincare. Each product is crafted with multitasking, plant-based ingredients that support your skin’s natural function - without the need for 10+ steps.
