With skincare routines becoming more and more complex, taking care of your skin can start to feel like a chore rather than an act of self-care. But what if we told you that skincare doesn’t have to be complicated? At Rhode, we truly believe that less is more.

Minimalist skincare is about being intentional. The right products, with the right ingredients, can do more for your skin than an overcomplicated routine filled with endless serums and creams—many of which may be doing more harm than good.

Why a Minimalist Routine Works

When you strip your routine down to the essentials, you allow your skin to reset, heal, and thrive. At Rhode, we can’t emphasize this enough: overuse of actives and excessive layering can strip your skin, leading to dryness and irritation. A minimalist routine keeps things simple, helping to:

• Restore your skin barrier – Healthy skin starts with a strong barrier. Using fewer, well-formulated products prevents damage caused by ingredient overload.
• Save you time – Skincare doesn’t have to be a 10-step process to be effective. A streamlined routine can be just as powerful (and way easier to stick to).
• Keep your skin balanced – Overloading your skin with too many products can disrupt its natural rhythm. A simple, consistent routine helps your skin regulate itself.

Hailey’s Routine with Rhode

If you’re wondering what a minimalist routine actually looks like, here’s how Hailey keeps her skin hydrated, nourished, and glowing—using just a few Rhode essentials.

✨ Hydrate & Strengthen: Peptide Glazing Fluid
Your daily go-to for bouncy, hydrated skin. Packed with peptides, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid, it supports long-term skin health while delivering an instant glow.

💧 Nourish & Protect: Barrier Restore Cream
Lightweight yet deeply hydrating, this cream locks in moisture and strengthens your skin barrier—no extra layers needed. For extra dry skin, opt for our Barrier Butter.

🌟 Finish with a Glow: Glazing Milk
For that extra dewy, plumped-up look, Glazing Milk preps and refreshes your skin while adding an extra layer of hydration.

And always finish with SPF.

“I feel like my approach is very much less is more, I don’t think it takes a whole lot to have great skincare routine.”

– Hailey Rhode Bieber, Founder of Rhode.

How to Make Minimalism Work for You

• Stick to the essentials – Cleanse, hydrate, moisturize, and protect. Everything else? Optional.
• Choose multi-tasking products – Look for formulas that hydrate, nourish, and strengthen in one step (hint: Rhode has you covered).
• Be consistent – A simple routine only works if you actually stick to it.

Minimalism in skincare isn’t about doing the least—it’s about doing what works. Ready to uncomplicate your routine? Your skin will thank you. 💖
