AM

☀️ AM Routine: Brighten & Protect // After cleansing, add your toners (thinnest to thickest), then add your serums (thinnest to thickest), add your moisturizer, and finally your SPF (don't skip it!).

Step 1: A gentle start. Use every morning to wash away last night’s skincare without stripping your natural oils.
Step 1: DRMTLGY Essential Gentle Foaming Cleanser

Step 1.5: This is the best way to start both your morning and evening routines. It is perfect for mature skin because it addresses texture and dullness without the "burn" of traditional chemical peels. Just spray it on your face (after you cleanse) a...

Step 2: Spritz on clean, damp skin (to lock in moisture). It uses fermented rice to prep your face so the next steps sink in better.

Step 3: This is your first toner.  For all of your toners, put a little in your hand and pat it in.  Mugwort calms irritation and adds moisture.

This is such a viral lip balm!  It comes in several colors for the day time, and the clear one is great for an overnight lip mask. It's so hydrating, moisturizing, and plumping.  Definitely worth it!

PM

🌙 PM Routine: Cleanse & Repair // You will follow the same order you did in the morning.  The main difference here is the double cleanse, the lack of Vitamin C and SPF, and the addition of a retinoid.

 
Kayla Briseno profile picture
Step 1: This is the first step of your double cleanse in order to get all the makeup and SPF off.  You will put this on your dry face with dry hands, and cleanse for about 60 seconds (including your eyes).  Then add some water to emulsify and rub around for 30-60 more seconds (it will turn milky white).  Rinse off, but keep face wet for the second cleanse.
HARUHARU Black Rice Moisture Cleansing Oil

Step 2: This is the second part of your double cleanse.  It will actually clear everything away.  On a wet face with wet hands, apply to face and scrub for about 60 seconds (I don't usually do this on my eyes).  Rinse off and pat dry with a clean (or disposable) towel.

Step 3: This toner improves skin texture.  Remember to pat it in with your hands (don't rub).
Step 3: Numbuzin No.3 Super Glowing Essence Toner

Step 4: This is my absolute favorite toner!!  I've seen the biggest difference in my skin with this.  It uses NAD+ and PDRN (salmon DNA) to help tired skin cells act younger.

Step 5:  Use these together with the I'm From Rice Toner or pick one. Mugwort calms irritation, while Rice Toner gives you that "glass skin" glow.

Step 8: Think of this as a hug for your skin. It strengthens your moisture barrier so you don't get dry overnight.  Put some in your hands and pat/press into your skin.
Step 8: Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Probiotics Essence

Step 9: Use this in conjunction with the DRMTLGY Growth Factor serum just like you do in the morning.  Put a little in your hand and pat in.

Step 10: Use this with the Needle-less serum just like you did in the morning.

Step 11: If you're an experienced retinol/retinal/tretinoin user, this is where you use it.  If you've never used a retinol before, it's best to start with .01.  Ease into it by using it once or twice a week.  Then work your way up to 3, then 4.  Then you can increase the strength to .03 (and eventually .05).  If you can work up to using your desired retinoid/strength 6 or 7 days a week.  Apply a pea-sized amount to speed up cell turnover and soften wrinkles.

Step 12: The "Seal." Apply this last. It’s a thick, rich moisturizer that locks in all your serums and repairs skin while you sleep.

A Simplified Routine

🏆 The "Power Of Three" Starter Set // If the routines above seem a bit overwhelming, here's a much shorter routine to help you dip your toe into the skincare world.  Just focus on these three: one to firm (Needleless), one to renew (retinol), and one to protect (SPF). Once these feel like a habit, you can layer in the mists, essences, and other products for that extra glow.

 
Kayla Briseno profile picture
Why it’s a Top 3: If you only use one treatment, let it be this. It’s often called "botox in a bottle" because it targets fine lines and lost volume. It delivers deep hydration and firming peptides that make skin look smoother almost immediately. Whe...

Why it’s a Top 3: This is the most proven ingredient for "turning back the clock." It tells the skin to produce new, fresh cells and boosts collagen. It’s the heavy hitter for texture, sun spots, and wrinkles. When to use it: Night only. Start with 2...

Anytime Refresh

🍋‍🟩 These mists are perfect for any time you need a refresh.  You can use them in your routine (both AM and PM) as your first toner step, or you can use them on their own.

Use anytime your skin feels tight. It resets your skin’s pH and adds a quick burst of hydration.  It's also a great first step in either your AM/PM routine.
BYOMA Balancing Face Mist

Spray before bed or whenever you feel stressed. It soothes redness and helps the skin relax. Another great first or second step in either of your AM/PM routines.  You can even keep this in your purse or desk to use throughout the day.
