I’ve tried a lot of skincare over the years and these are the products I genuinely keep coming back to in my everyday routine (and some I don't but still highly recommend to others). This is my affordable skincare routine for clear skin, from double ...<3

Oil Cleansers

This is my first cleanse step for removing makeup, sunscreen, and excess oil at the end of the day. I always use an oil cleanser as part of a double cleansing routine because it melts everything off without stripping my skin.

This is my current oil cleanser. It's especially good for when my skin feels a bit sensitive or reactive. It melts makeup and SPF really easily and leaves my skin feeling calm, not tight or greasy.

SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil

A really effective cleansing oil that removes waterproof makeup effortlessly. This cleanser gives a deeper clean and is best for breaking down heavy/waterproof makeup and mascara in my opinion.

Kose Softymo Deep Cleansing Oil

Cream/Foam Cleansers

This is my second cleanse step to make sure my skin is properly clean after removing makeup and SPF. These gentle cleansers help keep my skin fresh and balanced without drying it out.

I use this cleanser when my skin feels sensitive or a bit irritated. It’s really gentle and doesn’t leave my face feeling stripped, which I love for daily use.

ETUDE Soon Jung 5.5 Foam Cleanser

I bought this cleanser for my sister who has dry skin and she loved it. It feels really refreshing and soft on the skin, plus it's green which is pretty cool.

B:Lab Matcha Hydrating Foam Cleanser

My current and honestly all-time favourite cleanser. It's creamy, very hydrating and such a good price. You can't beat it.

Simple Repair+ Pro-Ceramides Hyaluronic Cream Cleanser

Toners, Essences & Serums

This is my hydration and treatment step after cleansing. I use toners, essences, and/or serums to add moisture back into my skin and help it look smoother and more glowing or to target any specific skin issues I'm dealing with. This step really helps...

I love this when my skin feels a bit stressed or red (which happens a lot unfortunately). It feels super soothing and helps my skin feel more balanced and hydrated.

SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Essence Toner

This product will never leave my routine, it makes my skin so plump and glowy. I notice an even bigger difference when my skin feels dry or dull.

COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence

I only used this product for a few weeks but in that short amount of time it definitely helped my skin look brighter and more even. It helps with glow and overall skin tone without feeling heavy.

Mary & May Rice Niacin 10% Triple Vitamin Serum

This was the first toner I ever used and it's still one of my favourites. It's extremely lightweight, hydrating and in my opinion best used in multiple layers.

Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic Fragrance Free Toner

One of the best milky toners currently on the market, especially for the price. I personally love to use it in layers which stacks the hydration benefits.

BYOMA Hydrating Milky Toner

Moisturisers

This is my moisturising step to lock in hydration and support my skin barrier. I always use a moisturiser to keep my skin soft, calm, and protected throughout the day and night.

An impulsive purchase that I don't regret. This is the type of moisturiser that is suitable for 90% of people, but especially those with dry leaning skin.

Purito SEOUL Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream

My go-to winter cream. It's rich and moisturising without feeling heavy on the skin. Perfect for people with a damaged skin barrier and sensitive skin.

ETUDE Soon Jung 2x Barrier Intensive Cream

My main moisturiser that I love for it's quality ingredients, affordable price and huge tub that easily lasts a year.

CeraVe Moisturising Cream for Dry to Very Dry Skin

SPF

SPF is the most important step in my routine (and it should be in yours too). I wear sunscreen every day to protect my skin from UV damage, prevent premature ageing and keep my skin tone looking even.

This is a really good SPF for hot summer days as it feels really lightweight on the skin and doesn’t leave a white cast, which makes it perfect for makeup wearers like myself.

SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF 50+ PA+

This is my main daily SPF. It feels hydrating and smooth on the skin, more like a moisturiser than the usual sticky SPF formulations. And of course, there is no white cast.

Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics SPF 50+ PA++++

This SPF stick is perfect for top-ups throughout the day, especially if you wear makeup like I do. It has a soft matte finish and isn't sticky.

Beauty of Joseon Matte Sun Stick : Mugwort + Camelia SPF 50+ PA++++
