Many of us have been led to believe that good skin is a result of long, complicated skincare regimens that require loads of fancy products. This, however, is not true. Many skincare brands offer three-step kits that are designed to be used together for the best results, allowing you to streamline your routine and target common concerns. Yes, please!
Not sure which brand is for you? Here are three we recommend.
1. Fenty Skin
Founded by Rihanna in 2020, products in this skincare range have already scooped up multiple awards. This set includes the first three products launched, namely the Total Cleans’r Remove-It-All Cleanser, which removes make-up but is gentle enough for all skin types, the Fat Water Pore Refining Toner Serum, which contains ingredients to both hydrate and diminish the appearance of pores, and the Hydra Vizor Invisible Moisturizer, which has an SPF of 30 to keep skin protected from free-radical damage.
2. Clinique
This heritage brand has been around for generations. In 1968, their iconic three-step system was launched and was the first of its kind to be fragrance-free, customisable and recommended by dermatologists. First, you pick one of their cleansers based on your skin type, then you choose an exfoliating lotion in one of five strengths to keep skin smooth. This is finished off with their best-selling Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion. It’s been transforming complexions for over 50 years – could your face be next?
3. The Ordinary
When The Ordinary hit shelves overseas in 2016, it was the most cutting-edge cost-effective beauty brand on the market and totally disrupted the industry. This is because they focus on simple formulations. All you need to find out is which ingredients your skin needs and their products can be mixed and matched accordingly. This set is suitable for most skin types and gives a nice introduction to this popular and extensive range. It includes the non-stripping Squalane Cleanser, a hydrating hyaluronic acid serum and the nourishing Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA.
