Morning Skincare Routine

items Here is my current morning skincare routine for someone in their 30s who has normal to combination skin. My aim is to have an even skin tone and hydrated skin throughout the day with light or heavy makeup. It needs to work for both scenarios!

Cleansing
You only need one of those products— depending on how my skin feels I chose one over the other.
Hydrating Cleanser
Torriden DIVE-IN Cleansing Foam Face Wash 5.07oz
Low pH cleanser for healthy skin, I use this one when in breaking out during that time of the month!
Cleansers - COSRX Official
Hydrating cleanser 95% glycerine, it attracts water into your skin. Make sure to rub gentle with enough water to get the amazing benefits.
Glycerin Cleanser For The Face & Body - Gleanser - Prequel
Toner or Essence
I choose one of these depending on how my skin feels that morning!
I use this one daily, no matter what. I love the brightening effects of it and it pairs well with the rest of the toners or essences I choose to use. I can tell the difference when I don't use it.
I'm from Rice Toner, Milky Toner, 77.78% Korean
I used this toner when I have a compromised skin barrier. It always soothes my skin and it's extremely hydrating. You can do the 7 layer toner method with it too, your skin just drinks it like water. I use it before the rice toner if I'm using both a...
SoonJung pH 5.5 Relief Toner 350ml - Etude House
I love this toner, it's also hydrating and good for anti-aging. I use this one with the rice one when my skin is in a good place just to enhance the anti-aging.
Ginseng Essence Water - Beauty of Joseon
Serums
Serums should only be used if you have a specific concern that you need to target! They also don't have to go all over your skin, they be applied sporadically only on the target area.
I love this collagen serum it is great at hydrating as well as plumping the skin.
numbuzin No.4 Collagen 73% Pudding Serum
I use this serum when my skin is partched and completely lifeless. After putting this on I feel as my skin is alive and it looks extremely healthy.
Amazon.com: numbuzin No.6 Deep Sleep Mask Serum
This formula has live bacteria that help your skin. It's a fermented formula that penetrates deep into the skin. I love it when my skin texture is uneven specially after that time of the month when I've had some breakouts. It evens the skin in no tim...
numbuzin No.3 Skin Softening Serum | Pore Care ...
I love using this for hyperpigmentation! Once the uneven skin tone is dealt with, if I have scars or hyperpigmentation this fixes it right up!
Anua 10% Niacinamide+ 4% Tranexamic Acid Serum
Moisturizer
These are the moisturizers I like to rotate based on what my skin needs that day!
I use this one when my skin barrier is compromised. It's very soothing and non-comedogenic. It's also lighter which I like on the days in wearing makeup.
Dr.Althea 345 Relief Cream - Face Moisturizer
I don't think this moisturizer needs an explanation. It was viral for a reason but if you don't know, snail mucin is amazing for your skin, it hydrates and repairs it. The essence is great and I use it that said I love this gel moisturizer too!
COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All in one Cream, 100g / 3.53 oz
I loooooove lipid gold. It's amazing for the skin and I use it a night almost everyday. During the day I only use it if I am not wearing makeup as it's a little oily. That's why I love it at night!
Lipid Gold, Ceramide Moisturizer - Stratia
Sunscreen
If you're not wearing sunscreen what are you doing? I mean no skincare will be any use to you if you're not protecting your skin! WEAR YOUR SUNSCREEN! Thank me later! 😃
I love this one to touch up during the day and also so that I can apply it on my hands and arms when I'm driving. I normally wear sunscreen on my body but it doesn't hurt to reply on your hands during long drives. I live in Florida 😅 it also works a...
Sunforgettable® Total Protection® Brush-On Shield SPF 50
Don't hate me for this but this is way better than the beauty of Joseon sunscreen that went viral. It's hydrating and you can skip moisturizer if your have oily skin and just use this. This has never broken me out and it doesn't leave a white cast. I...
COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream SPF50 PA+++, 50ml / 1.69 fl.oz
