Let's be real—none of us who grew up in the '90s and early 2000s had a skincare routine to speak of. We used that one trusty soap to wash our faces, maybe a Lakmé face wash if our mums allowed it, slapped on a dollop of body lotion on our face and body (much to the horror of today's skincare gods), and hoped for the best.
But over the years, with the ozone layer thinning and environmental and health stressors beginning to show up on our skin, building a skincare routine has become more important than ever. That said, with so much information out there about routines and products, figuring out what actually works for you can feel overwhelming. That's where Be Beautiful's Beauty Minis box steps in, offering a gentle routine that's easy to stick to and genuinely good for your skin. And our BeBe Editors agree, "Whether you're new to skincare, a pro or somewhere in between, this sampling box is perfect for when you're struggling with consistency in your skincare routine and just want something simple and easy to commit to."
The best part is you get all the essentials in one place, reducing decision fatigue and the confusion on what to buy and what to skip.
01A Simple Consistent Skincare Routine
We get it, skincare can feel a little overwhelming. But don't worry, you don't need a one hour ritual or fancy equipment to get started. All you really need are the basics and a commitment to stick to them. The mini-sized essentials in our sampling box are perfect to kick off your skincare journey.
Step 1: Cleanse with the Simple Refreshing Face Wash

Start and end your day by washing your face with a gentle cleanser. This clears away dirt, excess oil, and pollutants without stripping your skin. The Simple Refreshing Face Wash helps maintain your skin's natural moisture balance and is perfect for sensitive skin.
Tip: Use lukewarm water instead of hot to avoid drying out your skin.
Step 2: Wash with the Pears Pure and Gentle Body Wash

Just like your face, the skin on your body also needs some love. A nourishing body wash hydrates and refreshes your skin. Pears Pure and Gentle Body Wash, with its glycerin-rich formula, removes dust and grime without stripping your skin.
Step 3: Nourish your strands weekly with Dove 10 in 1 Deep Repair Treatment Mask

Your hair goes through a lot—heat styling, pollution, stress. A weekly hair mask like the Dove 10 in 1 Deep Repair Treatment gives your strands the deep hydration and repair they need. Use it once or twice a week for softer, shinier, more manageable hair.
Step 4: Moisturise with the Pond’s Super Light Gel

This step is non-negotiable. Moisturising keeps your skin barrier intact and locks in hydration. The Pond's Super Light Gel, enriched with hyaluronic acid and vitamin E, hydrates without feeling greasy especially perfect for oily and combination skin.
Step 5: SPF it up with the Lakmē Sunscreen

If you do just one thing for your skin during the day, let it be this. Sunscreen prevents sunspots, pigmentation, and fine lines. Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher, like the Lakmē Sun Expert Tinted Sunscreen. The tint gives you a natural-looking, even-toned base.
02Why You Need A Consistent Skincare Routine

While you get a good night's sleep, your body is hard at work, repairing cells and rejuvenating your body, which is why you may have noticed your skin looks its best early in the morning. It may start fresh and glowy, but by bedtime, it's collected grime, heat, and wear from the environment. Here's what it's up against:
- Pollution: Triggers inflammation, clogs pores, and speeds up ageing.
- Sun exposure: Causes pigmentation, fine lines, and long-term damage.
- Dust and dirt: Stick to your skin and mix with sweat and sebum, leading to clogged pores.
- Mental stress: Increases cortisol levels, which can aggravate acne and sensitivity.
"With your skin going through so many internal and external stressors, it's important to treat it well and build a routine that's gentle and takes care of everything end to end and rest assured, this box does that," our BeBe Editors say who've tried and tested the sampling box and come out victorious on the other side with a solid skincare routine.
You might have the best skincare products on your shelf, but if they're only being used once in a blue moon, your skin's not getting the real benefits. Much like healthy eating or regular workouts, consistency is what makes skincare and haircare work. It helps your skin and hair adapt, repair, and strengthen over time. So consider this your sign to start this self-care ritual now.
