The Bare Minimum Routine (Mikaela's Picks)
THE BARE MINIMUM The four products I reach for every single day, nothing more, nothing less.
I make skincare for a living. I have a full range of products that I genuinely believe in. And yet, when I strip my routine back to what I actually use every single day without fail, it's these four.
Not because I have to. Because they work. Every time.
The night cream comes out when my skin feels drier than usual. A face oil when I need a little extra glow. But these four? These are my bare minimum. The foundation everything else sits on.
If you've been looking for permission to keep things simple...this is it.
What's inside:
Gentle Renew Milky Cleanser — soft, non-stripping, leaves skin clean without that tight or squeaky feeling. Sensitive skin's best friend.
Soothing Aloe Cucumber Mist — a cooling, calming layer that soothes on contact and helps everything that follows absorb better.
Hyaluronic Acid Serum + B3 & B5 — lightweight hydration that strengthens your barrier, calms redness, and soaks in immediately. The one my customers reorder most.
Brightening Day Cream — your daily moisture, oil balance, and quiet glow in one lightweight step. Fragrance-free, never greasy, works under makeup beautifully.
If you wear makeup, consider adding the Melt Off Cleansing Balm. It's how I start my evening cleanse. Melt away the day first, then follow with the Gentle Renew. As Julz puts it: "my skin looks like I've had a facial every time I take my makeup off."
