Step 1: Makeup Remover🧖🏻‍♀️

I use the double-cleanse method, so step one includes removing makeup or skincare from the day.

I use this when I have eyelash extensions! You can't use oils on eyelash extensions because it ruins the glue.
Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water with Salicylic Acid

This is my go-to cleansing oil for oily girls. It removes sebum, helps clear the pores, and is fragrance-free. Overall, a great choice for acne-prone skin!

same cleansing oil but the MILD version if you have super sensitive skin, like eczema.

the most popular cleansing oil in Korea! I haven't tried it just yet, but I'm buying the travel size soon 😌

Step 2: Cleanser🧼

Step two is to gently cleanse the makeup remover off your face, as well as any dirt, oils, debris, etc.

my go-to cleanser for about two years now! so gentle, fragrance-free, and the bottle lasts soooo long. 

this is also sold at Target!

Step 3: Exfoliate🫧

This is especially if you're acne-prone like me, or if you wear makeup; we really need to make sure we're getting all that gunk out!

Step 4: Milky Toners🪄

These really need a step of their own. I don't know how to categorize these, tbh lol. I just started incorporating it into my routine and it really helps with hydration and moisture, especially when I'm prepping my skin for makeup.

the one that started all the virality over milky toners, but this one I believe should be safe for eczema-prone and sensitive skin! She's hard to find sometimes, though.

another milky toner option you can use as makeup primer!

Step 5: Hydrate/Moisturize🧴

A misconception I used to have as an oily skin girl was to avoid anything super glowy or dewy or hydrating, but really, our skin gets oily because of overproduction--meaning, it's THIRSTING for hydration! Hydrating and moisturizing correctly actually...

great hydration, because yes, even oily skin girlies need hydration!

Step 6: Treatments ✨

This is where I use my spot treatments or anything to treat my blemishes or acne scars and hyperpigmentation!

My current blemish treatment that I got as a freebie from my local K-beauty store. I'm testing it out. So far no breakouts, but I'll let you know if I actually see a difference!
