My 10-Step Skincare Routine

• ANUA HEARTLEAF PORE CONTROL CLEANSING OIL

  Helps remove blackheads and makeup — you can literally see the sebum come off as you cleanse. Gentle and non-irritating, and leaves no residue.

• SKINCEUTICALS GENTLE CLEANSER

  This has been my favorite cleanser for years. It’s a cream cleanser that calms and soothes skin. Also very gentle, with a soft orange/fresh scent.

• MEDIHEAL BRIGHTENING TONER PADS

  These hydrating toner pads are ideal for every day and help brighten dull skin, thanks to their key ingredient, Niacinamide. You can quickly apply or even leave them on like a sheet mask for a few minutes. They are so refreshing to use.

• ANUA 77% HEARTLEAF SOOTHING TONER

  I double tone usually, but if I use only one, it’s this toner — it’s my new favorite! It soothes, tones, hydrates and balances the PH level of your skin. My skin feels more even and ready for the next steps in my routine.

• DR. CEURACLE VEGAN KOMBUCHA TEA ESSENCE

  This may be my favorite product of the entire routine. Super hydrating (hydration really is everything especially with over-40 skin) to help detoxify and strengthen skin. Formulated with fermented black tea which contains probiotics and vitamin B. It’s a game-changing addition to your skincare regimen.

• REVISION SKINCARE C+ CORRECTING COMPLEX SERUM

  I feel like I have tried every vitamin C serum and this is by far my favorite. It was recommended by my dermatologist and since trying it, haven’t looked back. I hate that it’s so pricey, but in my opinion, worth it for the benefits. Helping to brighten, even, illuminate, and reverse damaged skin, it is a powerful combo. Right now, I’m finishing up my CE Ferulic, but as soon as I’ve emptied that bottle, I’m back to this one.

  Tip: Make sure you are applying your Vitamin C serum to dry skin and giving it a minute to soak in before moving to the next step.

• TORRIDEN DIVE IN SERUM

  This is the #1 hyaluronic serum in Korea right now and for good reason. It’s sooooo good. I use a generous amount to help further hydrate my skin, and it absorbs instantly without leaving any stickiness.

  Tip: Use a skincare spray or water, to dampen skin before applying this serum (or any hyaluronic acid).

• COSRX SNAIL 96% MUCIN POWER ESSENCE

  It’s a cult favorite for a reason. It’s gooey and sounds strange, but this essence helps repair and rejuvenate the skin, especially for aging skin. If you’re looking for that glow, this is a must have. While it is an essence, you want to use this one to lock in the moisture at this step of your regimen.

• COMBO: TATCHA WATER CREAM + COSRX PROPOLIS

  I live for this combo. Everyone already loves the Tatcha moisturizers, but with the Propolis, it really delivers that beautiful, natural glow. It also helps hydrate and soothe irritated skin, and reduce the appearance of fine lines.

• BEAUTY OF JOSEON SPF 50 SUNSCREEN

  Another worth-the-hype cult fave. Zero stickiness or residue, even after all the skincare has been applied. Contains rice and probiotics to further moisturize while protecting you skin.

  Tip: If I’m applying foundation, or even tinted moisturizer, I prep the skin with the Glow Recipe Niacinamide Dew Drops.
