Here’s everything to know about Scandi beauty, from the basic rules to the brands to buy into…

1 Natural ingredients are the true heroes There was a noticeable shift towards natural, ‘clean’ beauty in 2018 worldwide, and the Scandis were (as usual) ahead of the curve.

‘Their [Scandinavian women’s] beauty regime is simple and the products they use have ingredients that are super pure and are sourced from the Scandinavian environment,’ explains Sarah Kugelman, founder of skyn ICELAND. ‘There is a real history and folklore in botanicals, so many of the products contain locally sourced botanicals and herbs. Nordic countries have amazingly pure and mineral rich waters which are also great for skin.’ Look for products that feature locally-sourced water and ingredients like arctic berries, such as those by Lumene and Skyn ICELAND.

2 Moisturise moisturise moisturise and wear SPF always Scandi women ‘always make sure to wear their SPF,’ and due to the very cold weather (which leads to dryness) ‘are very into rich moisturizers and face oils,’ says Kugelman. If you’re after beautifully dewy, glowing skin like the Scandi’s have, it’s all about keeping skin super moisturised at all times.

While it’s usually colder in the Scandinavian regions than here in the UK, beauty fans there know how to adapt their regimes to suit the weather: a tip we should adopt if we want happy skin year-round. ‘Nordic women know the importance of adapting your skincare regime and experimenting with different formulas and textures to suit the season,’ confirms Tiina Isohanni, Head of R&D at Lumene. Mix things up from season to season, using lighter serums and gel creams in summer, and heavier, more luxurious formulas during the harsh cold of winter.

3 Less is more For Scandi women, skin comes first. ‘I’ve started investing a lot in skincare lately because I realized over the past two years that if I just have a really good skincare routine I don’t have to wear makeup,’ Babba Canales Rivera, MyBabba founder and Swedish native told Into The Gloss in June 2018.

When it comes to base, most forgo foundation in favour of fresh, perfectly preserved glowing skin and possibly a touch of concealer. ‘The Danish beauty attitude is very relaxed,’ explained Danish Pernille Teisbaek, Co-Founder and Creative Director at Social Zoo. ‘What I really care about is that everything I wear is comfortable.

You feel good, you feel stronger, you look better when you’re comfortable.’ With this in mind, it makes sense that brands such as Lumene (which is Finnish) sell complexion-targeted products such as illuminators and concealers that are super sheer. And this approach doesn’t stop at skincare and makeup, either.
