Okay, so I’ve been meaning to share my skincare routine because my dry skin has been SO needy lately.
Skin care nowadays is must to have I feel like if I don’t have a skincare routine than it’s probably an injustice to my skin I don’t recommend a whole vanity full of colour full serum bottles moisturisers and toners but there are some that I must have in my vanity.
Whenever I skip my skincare, my face immediately feels tight and dry maybe it’s a climate change or nature warning us to take care of our bodies , so I’ve been sticking to a simple K-beauty routine that keeps my skin feeling soft and happy.
Here’s what I’ve been using lately these products that I’m listing are a not just random but after experimenting a whole lot of them I’ve stick to these because they suit my skin.
Morning
I usually start with COSRX Snail Mucin cleanser on slightly damp skin. It makes my skin feel really fresh and hydrated, and I love that soft, plump feeling it gives me I feel like I’m winning the game .
Then I use my Dr. Althea Vitamin C Serum. This serum is best for dark spots and uneven skin but I mainly use it for dullness and old marks, and thankfully it doesn’t feel harsh on my skin it’s a good one so I’d recommend using it .
After that comes my Anua Rice 7+ ceramide hydrating barrier repair serum. This is basically my extra hydration step it conceals the hydration and feel my skin calm . My dry skin loves it.
Then I use my Medicube collagen jelly Moisturizer to keep everything in because we’ve already used hylaronic acid so it’s good to have a collagen moisturiser before that properly layer your skin. It leaves my skin feeling soft without being too heavy and I really love this moisturiser I don’t know why but it’s satisfying to use .
And sunscreen, obviously! I really can’t go without a sunscreen this step is lethal there was a time when Korean skincare wasn’t here but my sunscreen was so,I use the Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Water Gel Sunscreen. It’s light, feels more like a moisturizer, and gives me that nice little glow.
Night
Honestly it’s been three to four years I’m having a night time routine before that I used to think it’s just a hype created to sell products and I’m too tired to have a night time routine but since I started doing it I’m amazed I really feel I’m doing myself a favour like I’m giving myself time and the thought that I’m tired or it’s too late that vanished the moment I realised every moment of night time routine is worth it so here’s my list.
Once my skin is clean, I put on my Hyaluronic Acid Serum while my face is still a little damp since I’m using hylaronic acid my skin is feeling alive and my skin is brighter than ever here I’m using real hyaluronic blue ampoule it’s a good one so give it a try.
Then I usually put on my Mixsoon Eye Patches and just chill for a few minutes chilling watching Netflix or listening to my favourite music or just reading my favourite book. Honestly, this is probably my favorite part.
After that, I use my Beauty of Joseon Moisturizer. It feels richer than my morning moisturizer, so I really like using it before bed I love how rich and soft it feels.
And finally, I put on my LANEIGE Sleeping Mask and their lip mask have you ever tried it I recommend you should but if you’re using Vaseline that’s a good choice too my point here’s that we should take care of every inch of our body and now I’m done!
It’s a simple routine you just need 15 to 20 minutes I tell you girl it’s the best me time at night after you’re done with college work or kids it’s your time just do it better than scrolling.Nothing too complicated, but I’ve really been enjoying this routine lately. My skin just feels much softer and more comfortable, and that’s honestly all I want from my skincare.
Mistakes regarding my routine
The biggest mistake I made having a skin care routine was not having a proper schedule some days I was like I’ll do it after break fast or in the evening at the last minute just before bed when I’m so sleepy having a problem schedule is a discipline of anything we plan to do,I feel like self care is taking care of our mental health and foremost.
Another mistake I made was not choosing right products according to my skin concerns and needs, whenever I saw a viral product on social media I went and grabbed it and it never suit my skin so do your research what your skin actually is and what it needs.
I really am so obsessed with this routine that I don’t want to miss it and whenever.
Now I just need to stop buying new products every time I see a cute K-beauty review…
