SPECIAL DAY (once a week to treat yourself and skin)
morning routine, anti acne & hydration focus
In the morning, to solve both the keratin and sebum problems i had, we focused on getting my skin some hyaluronic acid, centella and a proper sun care routine ! I use them in the following order:
-cleanser
-toner
-serum
-cream
-sunscreen
this cleanser is really gentle I found and it's supposed to focus on getting rid of little pimples and impurities I had. After a week of using it, I could see a small difference in my quality of skin!
Belprimo Anti-Cne Gel Cleanser 125g Set (+30g) - olive young
to follow the cleanser, i preped my skin with this toner to allow the rest of the products to really get into my skin, it exfoliates a bit but it's really refreshing to put on especially in the morning!
SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Toning Toner 210mL - olive young
finally, we're starting on getting my skin some moisture! this serum is really well known in South Korea, and i get why: it's light, works well and easy to use
WELLAGE Real Hyaluronic Blue 100 Ampoule 75mL 1+1 Special Set
this cream has ceramide and i really like it because it's not too oily, so it dries fast and still leaves the skin hydrated and nice!
ZEROID Intensive Cream 80ml | OLIVE YOUNG Global
because i have enlarged pores, this sunscreen was advised for me and it's really nice : it's mostly dry (not oily i mean) but it does leave a white cast if not blended enough into the skin.
makeprem UV Defense Me No Sebum Sun Cream 40mL 1+1 ...
night routine, pore focus
for the night routine, i follow this order :
-cleanser (they gave me 2 options)
-toner (the same as the morning)
-serum
-cream
it's the one i haven't tried yet, but my friend did and she told me it was so good for her pores and that she sees a difference! This is my next purchase to confirm this.
Arencia Rice + LHA Pore Control Rice Cake Cleanser 150ml
Okay. This one i've tried. It kind of feels like a mask but it leaves my skin clean and refreshed, it removes the excess sebum and preps the skin for the rest!
FULLY - Green Tomato Clay Mask Cleanser - YesStyle
it's the same one as before, i just put another shop that sells it more globally :)
SKIN1004 - Madagascar Centella Toning Toner - YesStyle
i was a little scared of using this so often at first… but it really helped with my pores and overall skin quality! it's also known to help with acne :)
The Ordinary - Retinol 0.5% In Squalane - YesStyle
finally the last step is this cream specialized in shrinking pores! it's light but don't apply too much… it's a bit greasy
FATION Nosca9 Pore Enhancing Cream 45ml Set (+15ml)
SPECIAL DAY (once a week to treat yourself and skin)
This is to do once a week, instead of the night routine i described just before that! Order:
-ilso sebum
-cleanser
-mask (yes just once a week :( )
this product just melts my sebum away : i apply it on my nose and chin with a thin cotton pad, wait a few minutes and use the scraper to remove all the dirt from my pores! after that, the other products are useful to close up the pores.
Super Melting Sebum Softener Special Set | YesStyle
then this one again (seriously its really good)! It shrinks the pores and remove the excess product.
FULLY - Green Tomato Clay Mask Cleanser - YesStyle
the final step before a goodnight of sleep! this mask contains retinol and collagen to help the pores reduce in size and leave a pretty and glowy skin after!
