I’m sure we’ve all heard by now, the famous always-on social media trend of a “capsule wardrobe”; a collection of transeasonal, versatile and timeless pieces, that will last forever. Well, we’ve taken this *awesome* concept and turned it to skincare. And we’re calling it a capsule skincare wardrobe. Because, haven’t you heard of the saying, if you like it, buy it in every colour? Well, we’re translating this into other areas of life, starting with the most important. So, let’s have a look at what a capsule skincare wardrobe looks like…
What does a capsule skincare wardrobe look like?
It rotates around the four essentials; a cleanser, a serum, an exfoliator/mask, and a moisturiser. Sounds like a *huge* money saver, right? And it is. Think multi-purpose, a product which can be used in more than one way. Think multi-targeting, a product which is going to target more than one skin type / concern, because who doesn't go from breakouts to fine lines to redness all in a month. By choosing multi-purpose products, you’re building a capsule skincare wardrobe which will save you buying a million products you’re never going to use. You want to be buying skincare that works, and then works in another way, and another.
Building your capsule skincare wardrobe
The base - Your classic t-shirt:
The base of any *effective* capsule skincare wardrobe, is a hard-working cleanser. Like your classic t-shirt in your wardrobe, it also creates the ultimate base layer to build your routine on. You want something that’s going to not only cleanse your skin, but effectively remove your makeup. This is where we tailor this to you and your preferences. Option 1, Oil Cleanse, our nourishing makeup removing cleanser. This is going to be perfect if you’d prefer to use an oil to cleanse. Added bonus, it’s multi-purpose and can also be used as a shaving oil, face and body oil, and hair & scalp oil. Option 2, Gel Cleanse, our hydrating gel-to-foam cleanser. This is going to be perfect if you’d prefer to use a gel to cleanse. Added bonus, you can apply it straight to the skin for a first cleanse, and then add water to it for a second cleanse.
Your fave denim (comes out twice a week):
Moving onto your bottom layer, your exfoliator/mask. Think of this as an extension of cleansing, a step which provides a deeper cleanse either under or on the surface of your skin. It sits next to your fave pair of denim in your wardrobe, bringing both out 2-3 times per week, for casual Fridays & weekend brunches. Thanks to Tailor, you can take your pick of exfoliator/mask. Option 1, Polish, our 3-1 detox mask, exfoliating scrub and spot treatment. Perfect for those of you with oily, breakout-prone and combo skin types. Option 2, Elevate, our skincare boosting mask. Perfect for those of you who have mature, dry and sensitive skin types.
Your essential black blazer that Elevates the outfit:
Your layer to wear over top. As your essential black blazer elevates your outfit, your serum enhances your skin. Both are used daily, morning and night, and work overtime for your capsule day to night look. If you’re going to have just one serum in your wardrobe, you want it to be multi-targeting, because no one has just one skin type/concern these days, so it needs to be agile. And, there’s only one serum that fits this description, our best-selling Renew. This is going to take you through the changing seasons of fine lines, breakouts, antioxidant protection from the environment, sensitivities, and strengthening your skin's barrier.
Your must-have sneakers:
Finishing off our capsule look with none other than the one thing that pulls everything together, your moisturiser. It sits next to your must-have sneakers that you pop on right before leaving the house, to lock the outfit together. You’ll want a moisturiser that’s going to deeply moisturise your skin, lock in hydration and protect your skin barrier. Whether you have a preference between a light-weight or thicker moisturiser, either will take your look from day to night. Option 1, Moisture, our light-weight hydrating and protecting daily moisturiser. Perfect if you like that super light-weight feeling on your face. Option 2, Restore, our melatonin nurturing night balm. Perfect if you like something that is a bit thicker and more rich on your face.
After building your capsule skincare wardrobe with us, why would you bother having multiple products on rotation? I’m sure we’re all guilty of leaving excess product sitting at the back of our shelves – passing shelf life. Let’s change this and have concise skincare instead, choosing a product that can work in multiple ways, or one that can target multiple skin concerns. I mean, it will save you a lot of money and time that could otherwise be spent elsewhere…like building your capsule homeware wardrobe (now that’s an idea). And, we all dream of having more of this, so Tailor’s answered this dream with a realistic solution. A capsule skincare wardrobe. You’re welcome.
Until next time, skin lovers…
Love,
