Skin Streaming: De minimalistische skincare-trend die je routine vereenvoudigt
What is Skin Streaming?
Skin streaming is all about stripping your skincare routine back to basics. This means using just three or four products that effectively address your skin’s needs. This usually includes a cleanser, an antioxidant serum, a moisturizer, and a sunscreen. In the evening, you can add a product with an active ingredient that works on your skin’s elasticity and collagen. This prevents your skin from being overloaded with too many products, which can otherwise lose their effect or even cause irritation due to unfavorable combinations of active ingredients.
What are the benefits of Skin Streaming?
Skin Streaming prevents your skin from becoming irritated or damaged by an overload of products. Many ingredients trigger your skin’s sensitivity, are drying and can even aggravate existing skin problems. Skin Streaming ensures that your skin gets what it needs, without disrupting the skin barrier.
Skin Streaming vs. Skin Starving
Skin streaming means simplifying your routine, while skin starving means eliminating your skincare altogether. This rather drastic approach can often lead to dryness, irritation, and sensitive skin. A basic routine is still important, even if you are addressing certain conditions that seem to benefit from a less-is-more approach.
How do you apply Skin Streaming?
Want to streamline your skincare routine? Here are a few steps to get you started:
01 Know your skin type | choose products that truly suit your skin’s needs.
02 Stick to the basics | a cleanser, an antioxidant serum, a moisturiser and an SPF form the basis of an effective routine. In the evening you can add an active ingredient with anti-aging properties.
03 Go multifunctional | think of a product that hydrates and is anti-aging. Or for example a night cream that you can also use as an eye cream.
04 Avoid unnecessary steps | leave out products that don’t have an effect on you.
The Benefits of Skin Streaming
Less irritation | by combining fewer active ingredients, you reduce the chance of skin reactions.
Better results | your skin only gets what it really needs, allowing products to work more effectively.
More sustainable | less packaging and waste contribute to an environmentally friendly beauty routine.
Simplicity at Self
At Self, we have been making conscious choices since the start and we resolutely opt for simplicity. Skin Streaming proves that 'less is more' is also a golden rule in skincare. By consciously choosing simplicity, you give your skin exactly what it needs. No more, no less!
With every new development we look critically at the functioning of the product and the added value. For example, you can use our Expert recovering night cream not only as a recovering night cream but also as a soft eye cream around the delicate eye area.
HOW WE STILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE

SOFT EXFOLIATING BODY SCRUB & BATH OIL | as the name suggests, our iconic body scrub can also be used as an intensely hydrating bath oil. Hold 2-3 spoons of the scrub under running water and let it dissolve into a nourishing oil.
