Top 5 tips for minimalistic facial care

A skincare routine is not as complicated as you may think. Not many products are needed to take good care of your skin. However, there are some steps in a routine that you should not skip. We are often asked how our Flow Cosmetics products best fit minimalistic facial care. Therefore, here are our best tips for a super simple skincare routine, so that you will not miss an important step.

Less is more - not only in product selection, but also when it comes to ingredients. As a minimalist, you naturally want one drop of a product to be effective. Therefore choose products that are powerful, antioxidant rich, vitamin rich and full of essential fatty acids. And not unimportant: being undiluted! This ensures that your skin gets everything it needs to repair and renew itself. At Flow Cosmetics, we believe in the power of nature, and the carefully selected ingredients in our products are the perfect foundation for a minimalist facial care routine

(A good start is half done, even with facial care .. :) 

Start your routine with a cleanser and don't forget the importance of facial cleansing. When you cleanse your skin, you remove dirt, excess oil and impurities that have accumulated on the surface of your skin. Cleansing your skin prevents your pores from clogging - and lets your care products absorb better. This way you use your products optimally and make them more effective. 

Natural facial sprays, or toners boost your natural grooming routine. They are hydrating, refreshing and packed with floral ingredients that leave beneficial antioxidants and antimicrobial on your skin. The facial sprays act as toners - that is, they are intended to prepare the skin for care products - thus allowing them to do their nourishing work. With the Flow Cosmetics facial sprays, you not only prepare your skin for the next step in your skincare routine, you also add an extra dose of nourishing and effective ingredients to your minimalistic facial care.

Moisture, moisture and even more moisture. Both dry, combination and oily skin all need moisture. Moisturizers play an important role in adding moisture to the skin, and thus in maintaining hydrated, healthy skin. By adding moisture you provide the skin with necessary vitamins, antioxidants and fatty acids that help the skin to maintain elasticity. 

Some prefer to use only organic and natural facial oil to bring moisture into the skin - but actually the ultimate combination for your skin is one natural serum & moisturizer + facial oil. This combination ensures that your skin receives both moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and the nutrient-rich ingredients such as fatty acids.
