If you wear makeup every day, you should start your skincare routine by removing all the makeup using an oil based cleanser.
After you use an oil cleanser, finish cleansing using a lightweight foaming cleanser to clean your skin from any remaining impurities. Pro tip: Use a gentle foam cleanser so you're skin does't feel stripped from its natural moisture.
After you finish cleansing, use a toner to refresh your face and prep it for the next products. No, a toner is just expensive water. It is incredible for rehydrating and giving your skin essential ingredients for plumping and calming redness.
Serums are essential for a hydrating skincare routine. There are so many serums to choose from but always start with a simple, hydrating and calming serum.
Moisturizers are the final step to sealing in all the goodness you just applied to your skin. Use a more lightweight moisturizer in the summer and a more hydrating, thick one in the winter.
You can't forget your lips whe doing skincare. It's like the final reward after doing all the other skincare steps. Korean lipcare is so cute and smells amazing. I'm guilty of having too many of them…
Sheet masks aren't essential but they're a great and easy way to give your skin an extra boost of hydration. It's also nice to pamper yourself or have a little spa day and applying sheet masks.
Clay masks are another optional step after cleansing. They can really help control excess oil and help unclog pores. I love to use a clay mask once or twice a week depending on the mask instructions.
