Your routine focuses on effective cleansing, hydration and simplicity, while your ideal skincare product would combine hydration and complexion-enhancing benefits in a single lightweight formula.
Meet Emme: combination skin that changes with the seasons
Emme describes her skin as combination, although her needs fluctuate throughout the year.
During the winter, you experience increased dryness, particularly around your T-zone, while warmer weather can make your skin feel noticeably oilier.
Extract quote: “In the summer, it’s a little oilier.”
This seasonal change means flexibility is an important part of your skincare approach.
A simple routine based on cleansing and hydration
Emme prefers a simple skincare routine that focuses on maintaining healthy skin without using excessive products.
At night follow a double cleaning routine:
- Oil based cleaner
- foaming cleanser
- Moisturizing
In the morning, keep things simple:
- Splash of cold water
- Additional cleaning if necessary
- Moisturizing
- CC cream
At the time of filming, I was using a moisturizer from drunk elephantalthough he points out that he regularly experiments with different products.
Extract quote: “That’s minimal.”
Shopping in store for a complete experience
When it comes to purchasing skin care products, Emme prefers to do so in the store.
For him, the experience is more than reading product claims. He wants:
- Test textures
- Evaluate how the products feel on the skin.
- Experience the aroma
- Understand how a formula works before you buy it
Extract quote: “I like to have an idea of what I’m buying.”
This hands-on approach reflects the continued importance of physical retail to skincare discovery.
Open to cosmetic treatments
Unlike some consumers who remain hesitant about cosmetic procedures, Emme is open to exploring treatments.
Among the procedures I would consider are:
- Lip flip treatments
- Botox in the future
- microneedling
In fact, he reveals that he already has an appointment scheduled for microneedling.
This suggests a growing willingness among male consumers to engage in professional aesthetic treatments as part of their overall skincare journey.
What you want from skin care products
When asked what type of product she would create, Emme focused on simplicity and practicality.
Your ideal skin care product would be:
- Light
- Highly moisturizing
- Not greasy
- Easy to apply
- Tinted to subtly improve complexion.
Instead of using multiple products, I would prefer a moisturizer that provides hydration while also providing a slight cosmetic benefit.
Extract quote: “A moisturizer that has some type of color and you can just apply it and go.”
The concept reflects growing consumer demand for hybrid products that save time while providing multiple benefits.
The Rise of Skincare and Makeup Hybrids
Emme’s preference for a tinted moisturizer aligns with broader trends in beauty and personal care.
Consumers are increasingly looking for products that combine:
- Skin care benefits
- Hydration
- sun protection
- Light coverage
- Convenience
These multifunctional formats continue to blur the line between skincare and cosmetics.
Key takeaways for brands

- Double cleansing continues to attract consumers focused on skin maintenance.
- Physical retail remains important for product testing and discovery.
- Male consumers are increasingly open to aesthetic treatments.
