Sharing my tried and true skincare routine for those of us edging ever-closer to 40. I've refined the steps and products mentioned here over many years and many changes to my skin. I now focus on hydration, effectiveness, and gentle but potent care. You'll notice most of the products mentioned are from Korea. There is a reason for that - skincare products from Korea are more gentle, more innovative (hello snail mucin!) and focus on prevention instead of just correction. I've also noticed the prices of Korean products are much lower than that of Western brands. One caveat - beware of dupes!!!
