Toners

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.

The Laneige milky toner is a great option for people who want extra moisture and a bit more of a milky toner texture. I would recommend this one for people who aren't as acne prone and like heavier skincare products.

Serums

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

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.

Clay 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.
