In a world filled with endless skincare products and complicated routines, at Nzema Appolo we believe less is more! Embracing a minimalist approach to skincare can simplify your routine, save you time and money, and leave your skin to work at its optimal.
In this diary entry, we explore the principles of minimalist skincare and how to create a simple yet effective routine for achieving healthy, radiant skin.
With all the skincare routine fads, don't you wonder what our ancestors used or done to maintain a good healthcare routine? Better still, our grandmothers, aunties and mothers - when we look at their skin - for those who we were able to manage environmental factors, not smoke or bleach their skin - they have considerably good skin. So why as consumers we are now obsessed with a skincare routine culture - which is seeing some people layering 6-8 products at a go is beyond us.
Skincare doesn't have to be complicated or involve a dozen steps to be effective - overloading your skin with products can cause your pores to become clogged and to become stressed. In addition, the process slows down the skin’s vital, natural surface renewal and causes it to become reliant on the chemicals/ acids.
At Nzema Appolo we encourage people to explore the benefits of simplifying your skincare routine to just two steps - yes two!
First Step: Identify Your Skincare Needs
It is importance to understand your skin type, identify your concerns, and skin goals.
Second Step: Choose a skincare oil or butter from Nzema Appolo based on step one to moisturise, protect and hydrate your skin.
Third Step: Cleanse -choose a gentle cleanser suited to your skin type to remove dirt, oil, and impurities without stripping the skin.
Apply sunscreen daily to shield your skin from the sun's harmful UV rays and prevent premature aging and sun damage.
