Multi-functional Skincare to Simplify your Routine
If someone were to ask you to describe your skincare routine in one word, “simple” probably won’t be the first to come to mind. What if we told you that you can achieve glowing and healthy skin without doing a 12-step routine?
This is where multi-functional skincare comes in.
Just as the name suggests, multi-functional skincare refers to a skincare product that holds the benefits of a variety of products. Instead of applying different layers of skincare, you can just use one product with multiple functions! Take a SPF infused moisturizer or exfoliating cleanser as an example. With this, you’re simplifying your routine but you’re also spending less time and money taking care of your skin! Most importantly, it’s better for the environment.
HOW TO USE MULTI-FUNCTIONAL SKINCARE PRODUCTS?
The whole idea behind products that target several skin concerns at once is to simplify your routine, so you don't need too many steps to understand how to use them. You should, however, pay close attention to the products you are using alongside them and carefully read the instructions. While multi-functional products are meant to be easy to use, combining them with highly potent products might overload your skin.
