Beauty Inspiration- Skincare Edition!
Skincare is an important part of self-care. And not just the skin on your face! Take care of your whole body. I use the two-step cleansing method for face and body. Then depending on what my day or night entails, I will pick one of my post cleanse pr...
Cleanser
Always double cleanse. Start with an oil base cleanser with dry hands and face. Then use a foam cleanser and water.
I always do a two step cleanse. I start with a cleasing oil and this is my favorite so far.
I pair this with my ginseng oil cleanser by Beauty of Joseon.
This oil cleanser is great for removing makeup.
My second step in the cleansing process is to use a foaming cleanser- This is my favorite! It is so gentle and nourishing on your skin.
If you are looking for a more basic cleanser- I really like CeraVe products. I used this before I switched to Korean Skincare.
This purifying cleanser is a great calming cleanser.
Toners
Perfect for calming skin after your cleansing process.
Who doesn't need a little essence in their life? I pair this when I use my Ginseng Oil Cleanser.
Rice Toners are amazing! Clears skin so well!
Once again, CeraVe is my fave non Korean skincare brand. It's a great starter skincare routine brand.
Blemish Busting Badass.
Serums
Depending on what serum you choose- they all have great benefits for keeping skin hydrated and healthy.
Joseon has soooo many great serums- you can get this trial kit and decide which best works for your skin!
This collagen boosting rice serum is my personal favorite at the moment. I do like to alternate but the Rice products are my fave!
This serum helps reduce redness!
Another great snail mucin option!
You can always add a retinol product into your skincare routine.
Okay…I know the idea of Snail is a bit scary…but this stuff is magical.
Masks
These extended treatments help maintain healthy vibrant skin!
Lips need a little after hours TLC as well!
I like to alternate my night time routine, so sometimes I will throw this in the mix. Laneige is such a great beauty brand!
Another over night treatment that I love to use!
I can not stress how much I love Beauty of Joseon's products! This pore mask really is refreshing.
A wonderful moisturizing mask.
Jelly masks are so much fun!
Moisturizers
Moisturizers protect and hydrate the skin barrier. Helps even out skin and reduce fine lines, etc.
Beauty of Joseon has an amazing line of skincare.
This rice moisturizer makes your skin glow!
Snail moisturizer. Always a great addition to skincare.
A simple daily facial cream with spf.
The nighttime partner moisturizer.
Enhancing Products
Some additions that enhance the performance of other products or even help with skin issues that arise.
Overnight pimple patches for those pesky pop ups!
You can't go wrong with dark spot correction creams.
This one is great for puffy eyes!
This is a gentle peptide renewing eye cream.
Rice Sunscreen Lotion is so gentle!
Care for the Rest of the Body
The skin on the rest of your body deserves love as well!
We all suffer from odor issues now and then…and Lume has definitely helped me control it.
I also two step cleanse my body. I always start with an antibacterial soap in order to get squeaky clean.
Whenever I am not needing to use my Lume body wash, I will opt for this as much second body cleanser. Your face is not the only skin that benefits from hyaluronic acid and niacinamide! Not to mention, it smells divine-there are 3 scent options!
While I do splurge on my body cleanser, I make up for by being pretty basic with my exfoliation scrub. You really can't beat Tree Hut- great exfoliation, smells yummy, and a great price point. Watermelon is one of my faves, but there are so many choi...
If there is anything you do on your body cleansing journey- get yourself an African Net to cleanse with. I have never felt so cleans AND you can clean all the harder to reach areas.
My base moisturizer is CeraVe. I keep the large tub of it in my bathroom and lather it on everytime I feel dry.
If I am getting ready to go out- I will opt for a yummy smelling body butter like this from Tree Hut.
I use EOS shaving lotion on anywhere I need to shave. It leaves my skin feeling nourished instead of dry.
I have tried many razors over the last 25 years- this is my favorite! When I was younger, the closest shave was with a men's razor, but now we have so many great options geared towards women.
Your feet need a little extra love too!
Smooth all your rough edges with this non-intimidating foot file.
I use this moisturizer on my hands on days that I do not work- I need a little anti-aging help with my hands nowadays.
For days that I work- which means washing my hands constantly- I keep this with me. It really helps soothe any dryness that comes with constant handwashing.
