When you first start getting to know your skin, it’s normal to want to try several beauty products to see what works best for you. Before you know it, you have an entire section in your room dedicated to skincare. But sooner or later, you’ll realize that you don’t even use half of these products, and they’ll be sitting there for months, barely touched.
Or maybe you’re the type that likes an extensive skincare routine, using up to 17 different skincare products a day. But let’s be honest, how long can you keep up with this beauty regimen? When you start to work or travel, it can be challenging to keep up with a lengthy skincare routine. You might want to consider skin streaming. Read on to know more!
What is Skin Streaming?
“Skin streaming” is just a shorter way to say “streamlining skincare,” and it’s exactly what it sounds like. It’s all about making your beauty bag smaller and your skin routine faster, more effective, and more efficient. How? By owning fewer skincare products that have multiple benefits and hero ingredients in them, rather than having a whole drawer full of single-ingredient serums that only serve one purpose. It's also about knowing which skincare products are essential to you and your particular needs. There are a couple of reasons why you should consider skin streaming:
1. You get the most out of the products
Your skin is more likely to absorb and reap the benefits of the ingredients. Unlike when you’re layering separate beauty products, there’s a chance that they will either be diluted or will not penetrate your skin properly.
2. You avoid irritation
With tons of beauty products, it can be hard to keep track of which beauty ingredients don't mix. You run the risk of accidentally combining products that don't go together which may cause irritations. Keep in mind that the fewer products you put on your face, the lower the risk of your skin getting irritated.
3. You'll save money and time
Think about it. What saves more money and time? A skincare routine with only two to four products, or one with 10? You’re obviously going to say the former. The 10-step Korean skincare trend may have been all the rage over the past few years, but it isn’t a sustainable skincare routine.
Now that you know what skin streaming is and why you should be doing it, here are some multitasking skincare products that you should consider adding to cart, stat!

1. Pond’s Cold Cream Make-Up Remover Deep Cleanser
The Pond’s Cold Cream is a staple beauty product that’s been around for generations. It’s the original makeup remover that also doubles as a cleanser. If you have extra dry skin you can also use this as a moisturizer.

2. Juice Beauty Stem Cellular 2-in-1 Cleanser
This clean all-organic cleanser is made of fruit stem cells and vitamin C. Although it does a good job of getting rid of oils, dirt, and makeup, it doesn’t strip the skin. One wash with this will leave your skin feeling like a baby.

Shorten your skincare routine with this toner-ampoule combo. It not only helps to strengthen your skin barrier, but the hyaluronic acid also helps to hydrate the skin, while the polyhydroxy acid (PHA) helps to exfoliate any remaining dirt and debris.

If you suffer from redness due to sensitive skin, irritation, acne, or rosacea, this treatment from Dr. Jart can help soothe, color correct, and protect your skin from the sun. This treatment sort of acts like a BB cream, it applies green but slowly turns beige, evening out the skin tone.

7. KAHI Wrinkle Bounce Multi Balm
The KAHI Wrinkle Bounce Multi Balm is great for nourishing and moisturizing your skin on the go. The salmon complex and Jeju origin oil also reduce the appearance of wrinkles by plumping the skin. It’s best applied on areas where fine lines usually appear, such as around the eyes, forehead, and mouth area.
