Be a Skin Minimalist!

Less is sometimes better. Maybe we don't need to wear makeup every single day to cover up our complexion or adhere to a difficult skin care routine including a dozen different items. Skinimalism, a minimalist approach to skin care and makeup, is motivated by this idea. We offer products with minimal ingredients because we believe the harmful irritants in other skincare products don’t need to be there!

What is the essence of adopting Skinimalism in your skincare routine?
Adopting skinimalism allows for a simplified and healthier skincare routine, focusing on using fewer products with minimal ingredients to avoid harmful irritants and achieve a better looking complexion.

Simplifying a skincare routine through healthy products and a simple unchanging schedule can help purify your skin and lead to a better complexion. Here are our top three tips about adhering to the new trend of skinimalism:

Quality over Quantity

We frequently find ourselves purchasing new items prior to using up our current ones because we’re always looking for better results. After deciding on what you want, you give quality the upper hand over quantity.

Instead of selecting three different products to tackle a skin issue, think about buying only one that contains the right targeted ingredients for you. Then keep using them until they are finished. Remember that although we wish they would work instantly, most skincare products take time to take effect. Give your skincare product a fair chance before moving on to test something else.

High Quality Beauty Tools

Choose beauty tools that are built to last! Not only will this save you money in the long run, but you will find that they are higher quality both short term and long term.

Prioritize Products

By using cleansers as the first step of your routine, you gain the benefit of applying your skincare products to a clean surface. Cleansers eliminate oil and grime that collect on the skin over time.

Throughout your day, a good moisturizer can assist in hydrating your skin and creating a barrier to the elements.

Don't forget to use SPF as well. We are always exposed to dangerous UV rays, regardless of the season, therefore shield your skin daily. These three steps are an excellent place to start your skincare regimen.

Decide Your Skincare Goals

Think about your skincare regiment goals when looking for a new product. What are the key problems that need to be resolved for you to feel at ease in your own skin? Do you want oil management, smoother texture, or brightness?

Knowing what you want enables you to look at the components that will bring you there and make the right purchases. This could help you choose which products are crucial and which ones you should incorporate into your routine.

You may create your very own successful yet simple skincare routine by deciding what your skincare goals are, prioritizing the essential products in your routine, investing in high-quality products and tools that will last, and determining your skincare goals. Deluvia offers a variety of skincare products and tools that allow you to practice skinimalism and take care of your complexion!

Manuka Honey is a Step-up

Although Manuka honey was only recently introduced in Europe and the U.S. as a skin moisturizer, honey has been used for centuries in skin care regimens, from Cleopatra and antique Egypt to the Far East and Asian royalty. Modern chemistry enabled us to understand why: honey is rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Manuka honey is a step-up: not only is it a very powerful moisturizer with a powerful ingredient (methylglyoxal (MGO)), but it also gives women a relatively affordable, high-quality alternative skin care option.

How can Manuka honey enhance your minimalist skincare routine?

Manuka honey, rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, acts as a powerful moisturizer, providing hydration and a fresh glow, making it a high-quality and natural addition to a minimalist skincare routine.

The first reflex of most women stepping out of the shower is to use a moisturizing cream to eliminate the feeling of tightness and dryness left on their skin by the harsh chemicals found in city water. Whether you use a cream or a lotion, moisturizing your face and body gives your skin a breath of freshness and vitality it delights in.

Manuka honey moisturizer is famously known for its special benefits and giving you a remarkably fresh glow and hydrated feel.

Manuka honey is a natural humectant: it locks in the moisture and makes you feel fresh longer. With its powerful combination of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, it also helps promote the appearance of firmer, youthful-looking skin.

Quick Refresher on the Use of Honey in Skin Care History

Throughout history, numerous cultures have known the secrets of honey and used it in their skin care products.

It’s said that in ancient Egypt men and women were known for their elaborate cosmetic treatments. Living in the desert climate made it necessary for them to keep their skin hydrated. Honey was a natural ingredient in their skin care routines and according to Cleopatra’s lore, she bathed in milk infused with honey.

On the other side of the world, the Chinese imperial concubines included honey in their facial regimens to improve the appearance of their skin and for a healthy-looking complexion. The Sumerians, a very ancient people of the Middle East, etched the recipes for their skin treatments in clay tablets and honey on the historical record as a common ingredient.

Manuka Honey Moisturizer Cream

Manuka honey comes from New Zealand. The indigenous New Zealanders, the Maori, used Manuka honey in balms to moisturize their skin. This honey is considered today as the queen of all honeys, known for its many powerful elements as well as its ability to seal moisture and give the skin better hydration.

Despite the advancements in skin care chemistry, honey has not just remained a leading ingredient in our beauty products, it has become even more prominent.

Deluvia Manuka Honey Moisturizing Cream is a great example of that. It combines hydration and powerful, moisture-locking properties.

What Deluvia Fans Say About Manuka Honey Moisturizer Cream:

“This moisturizer is everything I could've hoped for: it's lightweight, smells delicious, and keeps my face hydrated and healthy. I could not recommend these products enough.”

“Feels light, absorbs quickly and your skin looks nourished.”

Premium Ingredients

The market is flooded with cosmetic and skin care goods, many of which contain hidden poisons. Makeup products may be the worst of these. If you want to be healthy but use foundation and eye make-up, is it possible to do so without risk of exposing your body to potentially harmful beauty chemicals? Yes, you can change your cosmetics just like you can ditch toxic foods and harsh cleaning supplies.

We pride ourselves on creating skincare products and makeup that are made with premium ingredients and strive for them to be healthy. Our makeup is primarily made with minerals and naturally sourced ingredients. It is important to be aware of certain negative ingredients commonly added to mineral make-up such as talc and bismuth oxychloride. Keep reading to learn more about each one and why we don’t include them in our products.

Talc: From baby powder to eye shadow, talc powder is often used in cosmetic and personal care products, though there is potential evidence that it may be unhealthy. It is an inexpensive additive primarily used to absorb moisture, soften, or smooth products, avoid caking, and create opaque makeup. 

Bismuth Oxychloride: Bismuth, a byproduct of the processing of lead and copper metals, is combined with chloride (a chlorine component), water, and other ingredients to create bismuth oxychloride, a substance that is rarely seen in nature. Because of its distinctive shimmering, iridescent look and fine, powdery texture that adheres nicely to skin, it is often used in cosmetics. It is a commonly used filler because it is inexpensive, but it can be irritating, can result in allergic reactions, clogged pores or irritated skin. You won’t find this in our loose mineral products either!

It’s clear that these two cosmetic additives are not good for overall health which is a major reason why we do not include these substances in any of our mineral products. We want to avoid any harsh chemicals that can irritate the skin.

Our loose mineral makeup is made with 100% pure mineral blends that have rich pigment and offer fantastic coverage. Made without additives such as talc or bismuth oxychloride this is a healthy alternative for your makeup needs. In fact, it is made from just the purest pulverized minerals from the earth. To make your own unique blends, you can combine different colors to make your own unique color. Check out some of our top favorite colors from our extensive mineral eye color collection. Try out your favorite color, or mix and match to find the best option for you using one of our color kits.

Skincare Products Make the Best Gifts

You heard it here first, skincare products make the best gifts! Sure, they can be everyday treats, but they are great for stocking stuffers at Christmas time, or birthday presents for your family member or friends. Spending just a bit of time searching for the right product to gift them can really pay off in the long run.

The first thing you want to consider when purchasing a gift related to skin care or body care is what your loved one would be most interested in. More people are becoming increasingly interested in taking care of their skin, a fact we love! Searching for the right product to get them shouldn’t be a challenge if you know your friend well. One go-to option that you can’t go wrong with is a face care product. After all, doesn’t everyone want glowing skin?

Whether you opt for a face mask, cream, eye gel, serum, or moisturizer, you will be getting a special gift for your person. Trust us, they will thank you.

And of course, bath products are a great option as well, from liquid soaps, organic soap bars, soothing bath salts, shampoos and conditioners you can find the perfect gift.

Why is prioritizing high-quality products important in a minimalist skincare routine?

Prioritizing a minimalist skincare routine ensures efficacy and lasting results, reducing the need for multiple products and promoting healthier skin.

Considering who you are buying for is also important. While you can’t go wrong with a face product, consider the time and effort someone wants to put in when taking care of their skin. Some people have elaborate morning and evening routines, whereas others opt for something simple and easy. Luckily, there’s a product out there for everyone!

If your loved one is someone who has aging concerns and likes to take the best care of their skin, then the Awakening Hydraskin System is the way to go. This is an all-encompassing three-part system of skincare products that works wonders on all types of skin. It is perfect for someone who invests time in perfecting their skincare routine.

A friend or family member who may not want an entire skincare kit would benefit from smaller, and simpler products. These can be used on the go for someone who may be in a rush. The best skincare gift for them would be a Dead Sea Mud Mask. Not only is this mask great for exfoliating, but it makes a great gift, while offering an abundance of benefits for all users.

Luckily, these are not the only two products which make great skincare gifts for your loved one. Getting to know their skincare wants and needs is a great way to purchase the best skincare gift for them. Not only does this give your gift a personal touch, but it is also thoughtful and useful.

XXOO,
