Every other day a new skincare trend pops up on TikTok and other social media platforms. From glass skin, to edible skincare, barrier protection and clean girl aesthetic, we’ve already witnessed many trends in 2024 (some which are questionable for your skin health), but finally a trend has come along which we can agree with…….. Enter skinimalism.
 "I had purchased the goat milk Purity Oats soap and it is wonderful! My skin is clean and soft where my dry lines are fading quickly, and my skin is showing the beginning signs of healing, returning to normal - and this only after two days of use!...Your company's simple products have been the best in the healing of my skin!" - Jeana C. |
What Is Skinimalism?
Skinimalism is a 'less is more' approach to your skincare routine, and celebrates the beauty of natural skin and a sustainable routine. Pinterest describes skinimalism as the “new effortlessly chic routine [that’s] simple and sustainable”. This approach to skincare and beauty is a far cry from the 10 step routines which became popular after the pandemic, and is much friendlier on your wallet.
For us, skinimalism is about using natural products that serve multiple purposes. Our Goat Milk Soaps are a fantastic example of skinimalism, offering the benefits of both skin cleansing and moisturizing in one, all-natural product, that’s kind to your skin.
 "I’ve been using the soap for my body and face for about two weeks and it’s been a great soap (Calendula)! My skin has been loving it and it's reassuring to know that these soaps are natural." - Bernadette L. |
What Makes Goat Milk Soap A Multi-Purpose Product?
Goat milk soap offers a range of skin benefits, thanks to the lactic acid, Vitamin A, Selenium, and other natural compounds it contains. Lactic acid, a gentle alpha-hydroxy acid, exfoliates the skin, revealing a more youthful and radiant complexion. In addition to its anti-aging properties, the antioxidants in goat milk help reduce oxidative stress—a key factor in premature aging. Despite these powerful benefits, goat milk soap remains gentle, making unscented varieties suitable for people with sensitive skin or skin conditions.
 "My husband & I have been using the Purity soap for at least a few years now. We love it and how soft if makes our skin. Simple ingredients, no junk." - Shelley E. |
The naturally occurring minerals in goat milk, such as Selenium and Vitamin A, further enhance skin health by aiding in the repair of sun-damaged skin. Additionally, the cream in goat milk provides deep nourishment and hydration, addressing common skin issues like cracking, peeling, and eczema. Unscented goat milk soap effectively cleanses and moisturizes while caring for common skin concerns, all without the use of harsh chemicals.
Other Examples Of Skinimalism
-
Streamlined Skincare Routine:
Using just a gentle cleanser, a moisturizer, and sunscreen as the core of your daily routine, rather than multiple serums, toners, and treatments. We recommend beginning your routine with goat milk soap for cleansing and moisturizing, then finishing with a natural sunscreen.
 "I stumbled upon this goat milk soap and was interested because it mentioned the effect on skin (softening, moisturizing) plus it was naturally sourced. The soap was amazing - smells amazing and leaves my skin smooth soft and healthy feeling and looking. (Charcoal) works great on mine and my son’s skin to keep us from breaking out." - Lisa R. |
-
Minimal Makeup:
Wearing minimal makeup that enhances your natural features, such as using a light foundation or BB cream, a bit of mascara, and a natural lip color. If you want to opt-out of a lip color altogether, try our Goat Milk Lip Balm for natural lip care. -
Embracing Natural Skin Texture:
Allowing your skin’s natural texture to show through, rather than covering it up with heavy makeup or pursuing an unrealistic "flawless" look. -
Focusing on Skin Health:
Prioritizing skin health over appearance by choosing products with ingredients that improve skin’s condition over time. Goat milk lotion is a fantastic option for those who suffer with eczema or sensitive skin, as it’s natural ingredients are known to soothe the skin.
 "I sent the Unscented Solid Lotion to my son because he has sensitive skin issues. He said that it absorbs quickly into his skin, making his skin smooth and moisturized. The unscented formula is nice because he is confident that its simple formula will allow best use for his sensitive skin." - Laura L. |
-
Decluttering Your Skincare Shelf:
Reducing the number of skincare products you use and owning only those that are essential and truly beneficial for your skin type and concerns. Eliminating non-essential steps in your routine, like double cleansing when it’s not necessary, or using fewer serums that serve similar purposes. -
Natural Ingredients:
Using products with clean, natural, or organic ingredients that are gentle on the skin and environmentally friendly. Our goat milk skincare ticks this box.
 "I am a “lip balm junkie”, I have tried so many different brands of natural lip balm. This Almond Lip Balm from Goat Milk Stuff has been the best I’ve ever used. It keeps my lips moist and seems to heal them from any dry flakiness." - Michele M. |
-
Mindful Consumption:
Being more conscious of the products you buy and their impact on your skin, environment, and wallet, leading to more thoughtful and intentional choices.
Skinimalism focuses on being kind to your skin, and the planet; two things we deeply care about at Goat Milk Stuff.
