Cleansers 🫧
The first step to a great skincare routine! Ensure your skin is thoroughly washed and cleansed of any dirt and product that built up over the course of the day! And remember - double cleansing is KEY!
One of my favourite cleansers! And since it’s a cleansing balm, it’s less messy. But my favourite thing about it is that it works reallyyyy well to get rid of dirt and grime - as soon as you rub it in, you can see little things coming out of pores. I...
Clean it Zero - Banila Co
I know this is not Korean Skincare buttttt I love that the cleanser works really good - and it pairs really well with oil based cleansers and cleansing balms (like my Banila Co cleansing balm recommendation)
The Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Foaming Cleanser ...
I love this cleansing oil!!! It’s really great as step one of your routine and it really gets deep into your skin and gets rid of any dirt and grime. Practicality wise, I really like that there is a little thing on the pump that you can put to stop t...
mixsoon Bean Cleansing Oil 195ml
1
This is a really good, mess-free cleanser. It’s not too harsh on your skin but also gets rid of any dirt. Therefore, it’s really good for double cleansing with your favourite oil based cleanser OR the Mixsoon Bean Cleansing Oil. It foams up really ni...
mixsoon Centella Cleansing Foam 150ml
Toners 🫧
Tone and prep the skin for the amazing products you’re going to layer on top! From natural and easy touse toners to vitamin c toners, the options for toners are endless!
Firstly, the bottle is huuuuge 😮💨😌 so it’s definitely value for money. But more importantly, this toner is great for layering and also it works really well with the Goodal Vita C serum, which both work together to create a brighter complexion and...
Goodal - Green Tangerine Vita C Toner - YesStyle
This was the first toner I ever tried and I’ve finished at least three bottles now - that’s how good it is! 🫧🧼It’s really light-weight so I don’t feel like my first step of the skincare routine is super heavy. The use of ginseng also makes me feel ...
Ginseng Essence Water - Beauty of Joseon
This toner pad is really good for wiping away any remaining ‘dirt’ on your face but it’s also good for gentle exfoliation. However, one trouble I had was that it doesn’t stick on my face too well so I’m not able to stick it on my skin like some peopl...
Abib Heartleaf Calming Touch Toner Pad
Serums and Essences 🫧
Here are some serums and ampoules to target specific skin concerns and give your skin the ultimate hydration boost!
Definitely definitely recommend! I like using it either the night before or prior to doing my makeup to give a glowy effect. Some people might not like its sticky and stringy consistency but it doesn’t feel sticky when I wake up after doing it the ni...
Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence - COSRX Official
My faaaavourite serum !! SOOOO GOOD 🤩🤩🤩 I can see visible differences in my skin brightness but can also see that when I don’t use it for a while, my skin becomes dull. It’s really good for brightening the skin and using it over a decent period of...
Glow Deep Serum : Rice +Alpha-Arbutin - Beauty of Joseon
One of the best vitamin c products in the market and this is a really good serum for brightening and getting rid of hyperpigmentation and scarring. 🍊🍋🍋🟩It also gives an amazing glow to the skin. It’s really good under makeup and allows for a dew...
GOODAL Green Tangerine Vitamin C Serum 1.01 fl oz.
It’s really good to minimise redness and I also feels like it adds an extra layer of hydration. It’s very light weight and feels super watery - so just be careful you don’t spill it everywhere! 💦🧴
Madagascar Centella Ampoule | Skin Care - SKIN1004
Really popular dark spot serum! It’s got really effective ingredients 😱🤩 but make sure you’re not mixing it with any vitamin c products as it can cause a reaction between that and these ingredients
Amazon.com: Anua 10% Niacinamide+ 4% Tranexamic Acid Serum ...
This is a good product for fresh scars - maybe if you’ve just picked at your skin and there is a scar forming, or it’s also good for scar prevention too. There is the recommended amount of niacinamide in it too so your skin won’t be overwhelmed. For ...
Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum - AXIS-Y
This is the best all-in-one ampoule set!! It contains 4x30ml ampoule bottles: Madagascar Centella Ampoule, Madagascar Centella Poremizing Fresh Ampoule, Madagascar Centella Tone Brightening Capsule Ampoule and the Madagascar Centella Tea-Trica Relief...
SKIN 1004 - Madagascar Centella Ampoule Kit - YesStyle
Moisturisers 🫧
Last step but definitely cannot be skipped! Here are some great moisturisers, no matter your skin type!
This has been my go-to moisturiser for the last few years and it has been amazing! 😻🧴 It's very lightweight but it also feels very nourishing for the skin. I've had my whole family use it and I've gotten really good feedback!
Dynasty Cream - Beauty of Joseon
This a really good moisturiser for those with oily skin. The gel consistency allows for a non-sticky finish but it’s also good if you want to layer multiple products without it all feeling too heavy! 🧴🫘
Red Bean Water Gel - Beauty of Joseon
This is a really good day moisturiser and it’s very hydrating. I wouldn’t recommend it as part of your night time skincare as it’s got that sticky snail mucin consistency but for the day time, it’s really nice. 🐌💦🧴
COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All in one Cream, 100g / 3.53 oz

Sunscreen 🫧
Protect yourself against harsh UV rays! Enjoy a sunny day out while also protecting your skin against harmful rays!
For me, this sunscreen definitely lives up to the hype! It doesn’t leave a white cast. Although it might feel a bit sticky, I generally put it on around 10-15mins before leaving the house and the stickiness has reduced in that time ☀️🧴
Relief Sun : Rice + Probiotics (SPF50+ PA++++) - Beauty of Joseon
Masks 🫧
Whether you only have 15mins to put on a mask before heading out/to sleep ORRRR you hate messy masks, these masks are some really great ones that not only have great skin benefits but are also so fun to do!
100000% worth the money!! It’s a really nice sheet mask that sits flush to your face, where you can pull the bits to cover your face and works for anyone with any face shape. It’s super calming and you can leave it on for a long time while you do oth...
Centella Asiatica Calming Mask (10 Sheets) - Beauty of Joseon
Oh this is soooo easy to apply!! While it is a mask in a pot, it has a smooth consistency and it’s most messy and runny! It’s really gentle on the skin and also allows for gentle exfoliation if you rub on your skin while washing the mask away. It’s r...
Red Bean Refreshing Pore Mask - Beauty of Joseon
A really easy to use mask with calming ingredients (especially the aloe) that’s great for sensitive skin. It tackles irritation and helps calm redness 🤩
SOME BY MI Real Aloe Soothing Care Mask - Pack of 10
A really nice sheet mask that does a great job at brightening. I like to use the remaining product inside to put on my skin after. The mask itself is really practical as it fits around your face really well and you can pull on the sides to make sure ...

Pimple Patches 🫧
10000% worth the buy!! Such an amazing product and definitely my favourite pimple patch out of the ones I’ve tried! It’s so thin yet so effective and you can’t even see that there’s a patch on your face!! I wear it everywhere - to bed, to Uni, to wor...
MIZON Good Bye Blemish Clear Patch Invisible Korean Acne Pimple ...
This is a really nice pimple patch for sensitive skin. It’s not too sticky that you can’t peel it off after but also has enough stick that it doesn’t fall off. I wear it at night so that the spot is covered from hitting my pillow or my hand. It’s als...

Soooo smooth on your lips 💋 and it’s also a really good size of a pot to put in your bag for on-the-go reapplication! The berry one is my favourite but there are other flavours to choose from! The berry one smells soooo good and it gives such a frui...
