The Minimalist Approach to Skincare in Vancouver

As a skincare specialist in Vancouver, Dr. Roz Kamani works with men and women interested in powerful skincare. While skincare is often seen as an elaborate, multi-step process, sometimes paring it down to the basics is best. For those who want to Marie Kondo their skincare routine, here’s what to do.

First, it’s vital to audit your stash. More isn’t always better when it comes to skincare. On the contrary, using too many products can cancel out beneficial effects and irritate the skin. Like just about anything in life, it’s necessary to discover what works for you. We recommend SkinCeuticals products, which is a clinically proven (and reasonably priced) line of products that works to correct signs of ageing, promote healthy skin, and prevent future damage. We’ve categorized this by popular skin type, so check out our recommendations for you.
