Can you skip a step in your skincare?

SKIP-CARE is the latest beauty trend from Korea — a way to fast-track your skincare routine by using only multitasking products.

The idea is to cut the number of products needed to meet your skin’s needs, and the best way to do it is to pick products that take on a number of jobs. Beauty expert Alison Young says: ‘So often people think they need to invest in a new eye cream when they can just double-dose on their favourite serum and face oil or moisturiser.’

Her picks are Sarah Chapman Skinesis Intense Hydrating Booster (€56.50, perfume-click.ie) and Jane Scrivner Skin Elixir (€33, janescr ivner.
