Back to basics: Simplifying your skincare routine

When it comes to skincare, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer number of products out there. You may have heard about some of the viral 12-step and 16-step skincare routines (!!), so no wonder creating your own can seem daunting. With so many options to choose from, your routine can quickly become complicated and time-consuming. However, achieving healthy, glowing skin doesn’t have to be so complex. At Strala Beauty, we believe in simplifying your skincare routine with high-quality, multi-tasking products that deliver real results.

Read on for our recommendations on how to pare back your routine while still giving your skin the care it deserves.

Step 1: Cleanse thoroughly and effectively: The foundation of any skincare routine is a good cleanser, and we have a variety of excellent options to choose from depending on your skin’s needs. For example, the Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel is a popular cleanser that suits all skin types. This soap-free, foaming gel gently but effectively removes impurities without stripping your skin of its natural moisture. Its key ingredient, Quillaja Saponaria, naturally foams to rinse away toxins, leaving your skin feeling smooth, clean, and balanced.

For those who struggle with breakouts, the Dermalogica Breakout Clearing Foaming Wash is a must-have. This powerful yet gentle formula targets the root causes of breakouts, clearing away dead skin cells, excess oil, and dirt that clog pores. Infused with salicylic acid and botanicals like tea tree, lavender, and orange peel extract, this wash soothes irritated skin while preventing future breakouts. Plus, it’s versatile enough to use on your face, back, neck, or anywhere else you need a deep clean.

Step 2: Hydrate and protect: Once your skin is thoroughly cleansed, hydration is key. The Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream offers 48 hours of continuous hydration, making it a standout in any simplified skincare routine. Powered by Active HydraMesh Technology™, this moisturiser locks in moisture while protecting your skin from environmental stressors. With a blend of hyaluronic acid, mallow, cucumber, and antioxidant-rich grape seed extract, it not only hydrates but also strengthens your skin’s natural barrier, keeping it smooth, supple, and resilient.

For daytime protection, don’t forget to incorporate SPF. The Hello Sunday The Everyday One Face Moisturiser SPF50 is the perfect two-in-one product, combining hydration with broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection. This lightweight, nourishing moisturiser is packed with hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and vitamin B5, offering a radiant finish while shielding your skin from harmful sun rays and environmental aggressors like pollution and blue light. It’s suitable for all skin types and tones, making it a versatile staple for everyday use.

Step 3: Treat your eyes and indulge in a mask: Even in a simplified routine, it’s important not to overlook the delicate eye area. The ARTDECO Skin Perfecting Eye Cream & Mask is an excellent multitasking product that hydrates, smooths, and protects. Rich in macadamia nut oil, shea butter, and Biophytex, this cream addresses dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines, leaving your eye area looking refreshed and even-toned.

To supplement your routine, treat yourself to a mask like the ARTDECO Collagen Booster Sheet Mask. This regenerating and moisturising mask is packed with collagen, dragon fruit extract, and coffee cherry extract, which work together to enhance skin elasticity and reduce signs of aging. It’s perfect for those days when your skin needs an extra boost, helping to restore a firm, smooth, and radiant complexion.

Simplifying your skincare routine doesn’t mean compromising on results. By choosing high-quality, multitasking products from Strala Beauty, you can streamline your regimen while still giving your skin everything it needs to thrive.
