The Minimalist Skincare Routine: The 3-Step Ritual That Works

Less Products. More Glow.

Skincare doesn’t have to be a 10-step routine with trendy ingredients you can’t pronounce. The real secret? Simplicity — with purpose.

At Siauva, we believe less is luxe. Every formula should earn its place, and every step should serve your skin type and goals.


✨ The Only 3 Steps You Actually Need

1. Cleanse

Start fresh. A gentle cleanser removes buildup, excess oil, and SPF — without stripping your skin barrier.

Pro tip: Use lukewarm water, not hot. Massage for 60 seconds to truly melt down oil and impurities.

2. Treat

This is where the magic happens. Apply a serum or treatment designed to target your specific skin needs — from dullness to breakouts to redness.

Examples: Niacinamide, Vitamin C, or calming botanicals like Centella Asiatica.

3. Moisturize

Lock it all in. A lightweight moisturizer helps seal in hydration, rebalance your barrier, and prep skin for the day or night ahead.

Optional (but recommended): Add SPF in the morning and a richer cream at night if your skin feels dry.


Why Minimal Works

Fewer products mean less risk of irritation, less guesswork, and better ingredient absorption. It's clean, consistent, and conscious — and your skin will show it.
