Minimalist Skincare: The Holistic Approach That Helped Clear My Skin
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 มิ.ย. 2024
- In this video I want to share my simple but effective skincare routine, natural at home skin care remedies and holistic habits that helped clear my skin.
The skincare industry has gone crazy over the last coupe of years, particularly on social media, it feels like everywhere we look there is a new product promising to give us perfect skin. But as someone who was an absolute skincare fanatic always falling for the latest fads and trends, I found using too many products or constantly changing to different brands, actually started to make my skin worse.
However this all changed once I stared to adopt a more simple and minimalist approach to skincare. I now only use a few products in my routine and can honestly say my skin has never been more calm and consistently clear because of it.
I want to share my simple but effective routine with you and the holistic habits that have helped me along the way to finally reaching a point where I'm happy with my skin.
I hope this is helpful for you, let me know your thoughts in the comments below ☺️

What are your thoughts on skincare?
I've added my current skincare routine products to the description for those interested & my Asian Quinoa Salad recipe! 🫶 ✨
I love how our of all the products out there you chose to use natural things from the earth and made sure to mention that it’s equally important as to what we put into our body and getting good nutrition plays a major role in your skin care ….…in so many ways I have found you to be one of the smartest people I know and with out a doubt the most well rounded and balanced person ever …I have so much respect for the quality that you put in to being the person that you are…Holly your videos are always a 10 out of 10 but more importantly Holly you are a 10 out of 10
I adore skincare; it's like a soothing ritual for me. Yet, the Instagram scroll can lead to impulse purchases, leaving me with a surplus of products I hardly use. Your advice on simplicity really resonates with me.
I noticed when I was eating lots of vitamin C rich fruits my face was glowing like literally glowing
Regarding the face mask you mentioned, do you use it daily or stick to weekly application?
Also I’d suggest adding gram flour to the face mask (if it’s available there) works wonders!!
My Mum only ever used soap and water on her face and remained young looking. I'm not as basic as that as I do use facial wipes then day cream or night cream moisturiser, but that's it. I very rarely wear make up and am pleased to say have many disbelieving my age 😊
I love that! It really is the irony how that can be the case!😄 Most of these anti aging products and 12 step skin routines can cause more harm than good in the long run I think! Of course good genetics play a part too!☺️ Thanks for watching!🫶
Great job, Holly! You know, I don't know much about skincare, but years ago when I was taking corticoids, my dermatologist prescribed me Zineryt (Erythromycin lotion/solution), and I must say, it worked wonders! Have a nice day! Greetings to the UK!
Oh I see! I’m glad you managed to sort the issue and I hope your skin is doing a lot better now!😄 Thanks for watching Harry and greetings to you too!☺️✨
@@lagomholly Thanks so much! Cheers!
Great video Holly :-) you look very beautiful with and without makeup, and your skin looks very healthy, so clearly you are doing something right. In my own experience simply eating healthy and regular exercise ultimately leads to great skin. Plenty of vegetables, fruits, that sort of thing, especially tomatoes I think are great for skin.. and lots of water, too. I used to drink a lot of white tea when I learned it was one of the most healthiest teas in the world too.. it did wonders for my skin and health in general. I used to get told all the time that I look much younger than I am. I also think things like prolonged stress, anger, resentment, bitterness can lead to prematurely aging. Whereas things like kindness and goodness, as well as rest.. seems to lead to a more youthful look :-)
Thank you Stephen!🥹🫶 Really appreciate your kind words☺️ I totally agree it’s all encompassing, lifestyle, skincare and also a positive mentality to know skin will always have good and bad days and that’s perfectly normal!🙂 Beauty on the inside will always show on the outside and it’s funny because I think our skin picks up on things like stress, negativity, pessimism too and reflects that. Even more of a reason to relax, do your best and keep optimistic!😄 Thank you for sharing this! Wishing you the best✨
@lagomholly All good beautiful Holly :-) you're absolutely right, what's on the inside really does show up on the outside. I've seen the immensely healthy things you cook, and your body must love you for it.. so much nourishment! That combined with those healthy runs/walks outside you do. I've been getting back into weights and walks outside again, as well as healthy eating. It ties in with my dream because I need more energy to pursue my dream. So you actually helped me to get back into health and fitness again too! You're right it's so healthy to do our best, stay optimistic, and relax. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me Holly, wishing you the best too :-)
Sometimes, it feels like the skin just wants to do its own thing. Usually, though, it goes back to normal. Thanks, Holly.
I totally agree, it's got its own little needs (and personality 😂) Less is certainly best! ✨
Hi Holly. Thank you so much for another great video. It is great to be part of this community. Our skin routine is very simple. It's been like this for a few years now since we had some skin problems due to products we didn't know were not benefitial for our skin. Since then, our morning skincare routine consists of 50+ suncream (all over the year, including winter) and moisturiser at night. We love quinoa salad, versatile and healthy😊Looking forward to your next video🌟
Thank you for watching so pleased you enjoyed this!☺️ Sounds like the perfect little routine that utilises the best of the basics!😃 Let me know if you give the salad a go and I look forward to sharing more content with you!🫶✨
Wonderful video Holly! Turmeric is amazing indeed and your skin looks so pretty! Thank you for sharing your Asian Quinoa Salad recipe, it looks very tasty!
Thank you for watching!☺️🫶 So glad you enjoyed this one and let me know if you give the salad a go!😋✨
My mom never taught me how to have a proper skin care routine because she never had to have one. I used to feel embarrassed as a man looking for videos like this and reading about skincare routines but recently I realized the importance of addressing my extremely oily skin and having great skin health after getting major surgery for pilar cysts removal on my head last year. 😅
I wouldn’t feel embarrassed, it shows you’re taking good care of yourself and your skin which is just as important as when we take care of ourselves with nutrition and exercise!😊 I hope you’ve managed to find something that works but if I could give any advice I’d say less is always more!☺️ Wishing you the best!✨
Holly u look beautiful in that white shirt, and thanks for the nice video ❤❤
Thank you!😄 Really pleased you enjoyed this one!☺️🫶
Holly Holly your personality is so bubbly and full of life and joy the people that know you are blessed to be in your company I have found so much enjoyment watching your videos and you have helped me get through some rough times and I really appreciate you for all that you have shared and I want to thank you for all the peaceful moments you gave me when life wasn’t so peaceful…. Very beautiful video and I love watching you cook … your right about what we put in our body matters as much as what we put on it..…you are the most organic person I’ve ever seen in all ways and I wish you the very best of everything 🙏
Thank you very much Andy! So pleased you enjoyed this one and my videos have been some help for you! That brings me a lot of joy and I’m humbled😊 It’s true that what’s on the inside radiates on the outside even beyond just nutrition! Wishing you the best too and thanks for watching🫶✨
What a great video and thank you for sharing the quinoa recipe - I’m going to try it! I love watching skincare routines as someone who has oily, acne prone skin. I’ve found, like you, that just treating my skin gently has helped tremendously. Unfortunately, where I live, the weather also plays a huge role. I live in a very hot, humid climate that my skin hates!
Thank you! So pleased you enjoyed this one☺️🫶 I very much agree and found less is more especially when my skin’s been a bit angry/inflamed! Our environment definitely plays a part so just got to trial and error what works depending on the season! Let me know if you give the quinoa recipe a go!🫶✨
You are so right, apart from some ponds cream and some rouge my that was my nans routine and she had great skin. Maybe you are right, we need to strip it back. Great vlog as always x
It seems like that generation were doing something right for sure!😄 They too embraced that simplicity was best and the results spoke for themselves!☺️ Thanks for watching!🫶✨
I don't really know much about skincare but I really enjoyed this video. Great cinematography!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed this!☺️✨
I use coconut oil warmed in my hands, massaged into my face and then cleansed off with a flannel wrung out with warm water. It removes mascara too! I finish by splashing my face with cold water and patting dry with a towel. I don’t need moisturiser either as my skin feels really soft afterwards. I love the simplicity of this 😊
Oh how interesting, I'll have to give it a go for a natural cleanser! I've used coconut oil on my hair which helps with a dry/irritated scalp too! Thank you for sharing this and for watching! ☺ 🫶
Many thanks Holly really enjoyed your skin care video and nice to see you do not bombard your skin with loads of products, this is somethi g I will impliment from now on and stop reading all the hype . You truly are a breath of fresh air 😀
Thank you!🫶 So pleased you enjoyed this one and found some of these tips helpful too ☺ Less is always more! ✨
Hi Holly,
New Subscriber here.
Wow, thank you so much for a lovely video.
Can't wait to try that delicious-looking quinoa salad.
Love the relaxing music.
Such a joy to watch.
Hey Kathleen, thank you for joining us!☺️🫶 So pleased you enjoyed this! Definitely give the salad a go and let me know your thoughts!😋✨
@@lagomholly Thank You, Holly. Yes, I surely will - and keep you posted on it.
😊☘👍
Ive been letting products run out & either not replacing them or going more natural or less expensive. Since inflation, skincare prices are crazy in 🇨🇦. So far, my skin doesn't look better. But, it doesn't look worse either! So many products have ingredients like mica that create the illusion of a "glow", or translucency, but NOT a real skin improvement. As soon as you stop using them, your skin returns as before. After 25 yrs of skincare vigilance, what actually improved my skin is: daily sunscreen/broad-brimmed hat use DAILY!!!, cleansing skin really well with gentle cleanser/toner before bed, a very occlusive moisturizer morning & night, and I have found glycolic acid 10%/2x a week good too. Otherwise, its just controlling sugar, high water intake, sleep, and controlling stress.
Thats it! If you take my advice, Im atleast going to save you $$THOUSANDS$$ over 25 yrs on "fake creams". Imagine what you could do with that money?!
🇨🇦♥️
Thank you for sharing this! I totally agree with you it can cost a lot of money which ultimately isn’t sustainable in the long run! I’ve been there and come to realise the basics are the best for sure!😄 It’s a blend of factors that ultimately will lead to the best results☺️✨
Hi Holly, sorry I have not had a chance to view your latest video. Today, I ran into a concept that really fits with your themes- biophilia. Yes, it’s a pretty sounding word that speaks about love of nature and oneness with nature. I hope one day you can go into it with depth and insight.
No worries at all! Thank you for taking the time to comment and watch!☺️ How interesting! A concept I’ve never come across before but am keen to delve deeper! Will maybe feature it during a discussion at some point!🤓
@@lagomholly would love it if you do one day! Your way of seeking peace and contentment is so congruous with work/life balance and treating ourselves with care and respect and I think cumulatively makes for a more wholesome world!
New sub here! I loved this video, you have such a calm beautiful vibe about you ❤ Can't wait for more videos!

Just curious how often you use your homemade mask?
I tend to do it 1-2 times per week which seems to work quite well!☺️

I like your content 🥰 , please i want « what’s on my iphone « vidéo minimaliste version
Thank you!☺️ Good idea! I have made note! ✨
You always look sooooo beautiful Holly and such a sweet and down to earth young woman. As you know I love your videos and have so since day one. Personally I've never done any skincare, never had any spots or acne, just a good old face wash with soap and water for me but hey I am a guy. There's too many females out there and especially younger girls who watch all these Tiky Toky's lol and see what these influencers etc use and feel they need to do the same but let's face it, they're all beautiful anyway in their own skin and I doubt any of them really need it to be honest and then they go and cake their faces in loads of make up products as well so it can't be doing there skin any good really. Yes i get that it probably makes them feel good etc when they have make up on but all they're doing is making all these companies Billions and Billions of pounds for products that, let's face it don't bloody work and they're hardly cheap also. Anyway, great video as always Holly take care now and have a lovely week ahead. ☺☺☺☺❤❤🌟🌟🌟
Thank you Andy!😊 I appreciate your comment and I think you make some really important points! I agree unfortunately it’s become a huge trend with upcoming generations who really don’t need all the make up and skincare they’re using. But it’s a case of trial and error for us all and I think in time more people will become aware it’s not always necessary!😄 Thanks for sharing this and for watching as always! Appreciate your support☺️✨
