This skincare routine has been a game changer to my skin health. As a time-poor mum I neglected my skin for so long. Now I follow this exact process every morning with inspo from Korean beauty methods and my skin now glows so much more radiantly. Eve...

Cleanser
This is my favourite oil cleanser. It surprisingly lathers (but in a creamy way) and yet doesn’t have a scent other than a neutral and natural scent which I love. Makes it great for sensitive skin types. Best for cleaning off makeup. If no makeup I’l...
haruharu wonder - Black Rice Moisture Cleansing Oil - 150ml
A really nice scent-free gel cleanser. Sometimes I’ll just use this in the shower in the morning or if I need a more effective cleanse I may use oil cleanser first followed by this.
haruharu wonder - Black Rice Moisture 5.5 Soft Cleansing Gel - 100ml
Toner
My absolute go-to. Cannot fault it. Apply this straight after cleansing with hands. Pat it into the skin.
haruharu wonder - Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner - 150ml
I got a free sample of this with my last Beauty Amora order and used it for a few weeks and it’s so nice. Has a nice silky texture. Has really good reviews. You can just use one toner but a lot of K-beauty enthusiasts use more than one.
I'm From - Rice Toner - 150ml
Barrier
This stuff is so bouncy and hydrating. Look, it’s not an absolute necessity if you want to keep this super minimalist but I’ve been loving it as part of my morning and evening routine straight after toner.
This is such a good beginner retinol. I haven’t had any sensitivity with it unlike another beginner one I once used. Start with 2x/week for 2 weeks, go to every second night for a few weeks then see how you go every night. I’ve been using for 6 month...
Night Knight Retinol Serum / Unscented
Moisturiser
Despite the name being “body” guard, this is actually the best face moisturiser. The owner is an Australian mum who created the range for her daughter with eczema. I’ve tried so many face moisturisers and this is hands-down the best especially for dr...
Salvida Bodyguard
Use this in naso-labial folds if you’re prone to sensitive skin around that area particularly if you’re using retinol. This is a thick barrier cream for dry, sensitive or irritated areas. So it may not necessarily always be part of my daily face rout...
This has been a cult favourite of mine for at least 6 years. It’s so thick and ultra nourishing. I am now using Salvida for my main moisturiser but this would be my second pick.
Weleda Skin Food - 75ml
Lip balm
I’m a lip balm fanatic and this one always does the job. It’s long-lasting and actually repairing unlike some lip balms that feel like they make your lips worse.
