How is Skinimalism better for my skin?
With constant accessibility and influence of the ‘latest and greatest’ ingredients / products many consumers have ended up with a cupboard full on cosmetics and confused, as a result many people are overdoing their skincare regime. And often damaging their skin barrier.
Something I read in Sabbia Co’s inbox daily is ‘I have inflamed breakouts, irritation, redness, eczema, peri-oral dermatitis, rosacea’ and the list goes on. This is often because consumers are using too many products, trying new ‘on trend’ products that their skin doesn’t need, layering incorrectly or combing the wrong products.
LESS IS MORE - invest in clean simple products and I can promise you your skin will feel less overwhelmed and then you can begin the the healing process, to achieve your dream skin.

And how is it better for the planet?
Less products purchased = less waste = happy planet. PLEASE always choose glass packaged skincare, not only is this better for the planet it is better for your skin.
There is concern over the use of phthalates and bisphenol A /BPA in cosmetics and skin care products, which are found in plastic packaging. These chemicals are known to disrupt the endocrine system and can have potentially devastating effects.
If you are investing in your skin, why would you purchase a product that comes packaged in harmful chemicals??
Most importantly how am I going to save money?
Less products, less money spent.
What is a good skin care routine?
You can either choose 7 or 5 step routine;
7 steps would be cleanse, tone, mist, serum, moisturiser, oil then SPF. If that’s too much for you try a simple 5 step skincare routine that will still give you all the benefits! Cleanse, serum, moisturiser, oil then SPF. The essentials for beautiful skin are to clean, hydrate and protect!
What is basic skincare?
At Sabbia Co our whole philosophy is less is more. Our sustainable skin tools are the perfect beginning for a basic skincare routine. All you need is your face it face kit & water to remove makeup, cleanse and exfoliate.
What skincare do you really need?
I would suggest starting off with our face it face kit and our sustainably sourced and package skincare - botanical glow cleanser, collagen c serum and either mask matcha clay mask or charcoal adaptogen mask.
What I love the most about skinimalism is the emphasis on banishing beauty ideals and the idea of "covering up" or "fixing flaws." Skinimalism encourages you to go #unfiltered and embrace the real, the perfectly imperfect, always beautiful you.
Here’s to embracing your REAL skin — less makeup, no filters and fewer skincare products — and allowing your natural glow to shine through.
Big love always,
Katie - Founder & Formulator
