My *Updated Winter Skincare Routine + Some Tips 🎀

I have tried out some new products and have found some new personal favorite skincare items for the winter! I figured I’d update on my current morning and night skincare routines and add in some tips (based on things I’ve been doing that have been working for me). I am not a dermatologist or professional, these are sino,y my routines and what works for me!

🩷 Morning Skincare Routine

Wash my face with Cerave Hydrating Face Wash and cold water

Pat dry with a paper towel

Apply Jumiso Vitamin C Serum

Follow up with Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Cream

Use sunscreen, Beauty of Joseon Rice + Probiotics SPF 50

that’s my simple little morning routine! I love it so much more for than my super complicated routine because sometimes it’s nice to just get in and get my skincare done for the morning.

🩷 Night Skincare Routine

these two things stay the same every night, but the rest differs by night

Oil cleanse on dry skin with Anua Pore Control Cleansing Oil

Follow up with using the B.Lab Matcha Foam Hydrating Cleanser

Monday/Wednesday/Friday - Exfoliating

Use the Cosrx AHA/BHA Toner

Pat in the Cosrx Snail Mucin Essence

Use the Torriden Dive In Low Molecule Hyalorounic Serum

Next, I pat in the Beauty of Joseon Calming Serum

I use the Cerave Eye Repair Cream on my under eyes

Lastly, I use the Cosrx All In One Snail Cream

Tuesday/Thursday - Retinal Eye Cream Days

I use the Anua Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner

Next, I’ll use the Torriden Dive In Low Molecule Hyaluronic Serum

Then I’ll occasionally use the Skin 1004 Centella Asiática Ampoule serum

Then I Pat a bit of the Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Cream under my eyes

Lastly, I lock it all in with my Etude Soon Jung Hydro Barrier Cream

Saturday - Basic Day

I’ll use the I’m From Rice Toner on this day

Then I’ll use the Good Molecules Hyaluronic Acid Serum

Followed by either the Anua Peach Nicain Serum OR the Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum

I’ll Pat the Cerave Eye Repair Cream into the under eye area

Then I lock it all in with Etude Soon Jung Hydro Barrier Cream

Sunday - Full Self Care Day

Before double cleansing, I use the Beauty of Joseon Red Bean Face Mask (I love her)

Then I double cleanse

Then I’ll use the Anua Toner Pads

Then I use my Cosrx Snail Mucin Essence

Then I use either of my Hyaluronic Serums depending on how I feel

Then I’ll use the Axis Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum

Cerave Eye Cream of course

Then I use the Cosrx All In One Snail Cream

Every Night -

I pat a little Hyaluronic acid serum into my lips and seal it with Vaseline

a lot of products, yes, but I went crazy and bought a bunch of skincare and now I’m using it and my skin loves all of it honestly! My skin is not super sensitive so I use everything within reason in a way that won’t irritate it. For me, I know what works for my skin and what doesn’t, and that’s been the most helpful thing. Now, for some tips,

🩷 Skincare Tips

Apply vitamin C to dry skin! I’ve heard this helps with absorption and the way the serum works!

Pat face dry, do not rub! Rubbing irritates the skin and pulling on it aggressively like that isn’t good long term

Use clean paper towels! May be a bit wasteful but it’s a lot cleaner then using a face towel that you wash once a week

Apply Hyaluronic Acid to damp skin for better absorption!

Apply all serums to your clean fingers to pat into skin as dragging the droppers across your skin can collect bacteria and what not

Always use sunscreen! I myself sometimes forget or I skip it and that’s just not good for your skins health long term

drink your water!!! Hydrated skin starts from within, lovelies

Use products that work for your skin type! Avoid fragrances if you have sensitive skin, avoid snail mucin if you have a dust allergy, etc

Cold water in the morning to refresh your skin and wake you up

if I've washed my face + done my skincare the night before, I do not wash my face in the morning. I simply splash with cold water and do my morning routine.

learn your skin type! this will help you determine what products will be beneficial for your skin type and goals. My skin bounces between oily and dry depending on the weather, if I did skincare, if my pillowcases are clean, etc.

don't touch your face, at least not with dirty hands. always make sure your hands are clean before touching your face

don't pop acne! not only with this leave the chance of scarring, but it spreads the bacteria from one pimple to the rest of your face

brush your teeth before doing skincare. when you brush your teeth after, you may rub off the stuff you've applied or mix it in, which is not the best for your skin

those are all the tips I currently use in my everyday life regarding my skin! I hope this was useful!

til next time lovelies 🩷

Girl help. My skin is sooo freaking dry right now. Like no matter how much lotion I put on my face, I still have dry patches pop up minutes later. My skin overall is dry, but the winter makes it worse. Any suggestions?

Girl don’t worry, I gotchu.

I vouch for these two products with my LIFE:

1. The cosrx snail mucin 92 all in one cream

Deal of the day: COSRX Snail Mucin 92% Moisturizer 3.52oz/ 100g, Daily Repair Face Gel Cream for Dry, Sensitive Skin, Not Tested on Animals, No Parabens, No Sulfates, No Phthalates, Korean Skincare https://a.co/d/h1bjIfG

I use this at night before my moisturizer. The consistency is (teehee) but I SWEAR it saves my skin in the winter.

The second product I recommend is the cosrx snail mucin essence — it’s gentle enough to use morning and night (before moisturizer both times)!

COSRX Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence 3.38 fl.oz 100ml, Hydrating Serum for Face with Snail Secretion Filtrate for Dull Skin & Fine Lines, Korean Skincare https://a.co/d/bm8hzgO

COSRX Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence 3.38 fl.oz 100ml, Hydrating Serum for Face with Snail Secretion Filtrate for Dull Skin & Fine Lines, Korean Skincare https://a.co/d/bm8hzgO

Finally, if you need a moisturizer, I do recommend the versed skin soak — a little pricier but GODDDD is it good. I use this at night!

Versed Skin Soak Rich Moisture Face Cream - Daily Facial Moisturizer with Squalane Oil, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin E + Red Algae - Smooth, Non-Greasy Night Cream for Aging, Dry Skin - Vegan (1.5 oz) https://a.co/d/9ICK5sZ

How can I get my skin silky and smooth and soft? My skin is always soo dried

As someone who has dermatitis I can relate to having super dry skin too! Luckily there are some amazing products that can be used to treat dry skin. 🫧

CeraVe, Cetaphil and La Roche Posay are my top 3 brands when it comes to looking for cleaners + moisturizers that treat dry skin.

Use a moisturizing cream instead of a moisturizing lotion for better results.

Ingredients are your best friend when it comes to treating dry skin. AHA, BHA, Retinol, Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid and Benzoyl Peroxide are my faves for dry skin. These ingredients can be found in The Ordinary + Good Molecules’ product line.

Daytime skincare routine for dry skin: Cleanse, Serum (Vitamin C), Moisturizer and Sunscreen.

Nighttime skincare routine for dry skin: Double cleanse, Tone, Targeted Serum (AHA + BHA) and Moisturize.

Try snail mucin! As crazy as it sounds snail mucin has helped keep my skin super soft. Peach Slices and COSRX are my brand recommendations for snail mucin.

Laneige lip masks are perfect for dry lips!

Keep lip balm, moisturizers and hand creams with you when you’re out and about.

Body creams work better than body lotion for dry skin.

Use a sugar body scrub for exfoliation!

Dry scalps are also common with dry skin. Living Proof as an amazing dry scalp serum + First Aid Beauty also released their dry scalp/dandruff hair products a while ago.

Stock up on dry skin products during the fall + winter seasons!!

Get a facial with an esthetician to work on dry skin! Hydrafacials are an amazing investment!

Visit a health care provider if your concerns about dry skin worsen!

👉🏻👈🏻 Can you go into your skin care routine a little bit as in what order you apply things and how long in between applying products (like is it immediately or do you wait 5 mins to let the first stuff dry/sink in before the next product)?

I get so lost with skin care that I get discouraged and then dont so anything.

oh god this is probably gonna be really long but,

so for the pm- Basically with most of the humectant (moisturizing stuff) you wanna apply that as soon as you get out of the shower and in quick succession so that any water and moisture can get absorbed into the skin and not just evaporate. assuming you shower at night like a sane person this should be your first step when you get out of the shower, you can not wipe off your face with your towl to keep your face damp for longer, i usually don't even wait to put on my pj's before i sit infront of my little skincare stack and start to slap stuff on my face.

the first batch is stuff like the cosrx snail mucin, cosrx glactanomicies ferment filtrate and hyaluronic acid (you'll see a lot of people tell you that 'the ordinary' one is bad but tbh it's fine and cheap, but a good option is also the one from good molecules, neither of them are more than 10$).

if you do not shower at night or wait to long and your skin gets dry, then you want to preface all of your skincare with some sort of toner; the lineage cream skin is absolutely amazing- especially if you have redness and inflamed skin- it is a little bit pricey but tbh most toners run in the 15-30 per 60oz range. these can last you up to 6 months. my leniege one was actually a gift from a follower for my last birthday and i've been using it very sparingly. i immediately follow it up with snail mucin, hyaluronic acid, or something light and hydrating, this is the first barrier of skincare that kind of cushions your skin if you plan on using an actives.

You want to sandwich all of the stuff that dries out your skin from acne, takes care of your fine lines and wrinkles, or chemically exfoliates your skin between your serum and cream. now is when you get into the waiting- when you start to apply your actives.

Actives are stuff like retinols/retinoids, aha's or lactic acids, bha's or glycolic acids, salicylic acids, and niacinamide. these are things that can damage your skin if improperly used. for me- aha's feel a little less damaging than glycolic acids. aha's and bha's are generally a once a week thing especially if you're just starting out. niacinamide help with sebum and clogged pores as well as pigmentation issues, salicilic acid is also something that kinda helps keep your skin sterile from acne causing bacteria, if you have sensitive skin introduce these very very slowly, start with niacinamide and work your way up. i apply niacinimide almost every day and everything else as needed.

next you have your eye cream- it can change based on what you want to solve, if you have fat loss around your eye (ie deep set eyebags like mine) you want to use stuff thats going to thicken the skin faster- staying away from stuff that decreases blood flow like caffeine, if you have dark circles- you want stuff that has brightening agents. if you have fine lines- then eye patches (mini eye face masks basically) and a super hydrating undereye cream will help. i tend to lean for the hydrating stuff. because i have dry under eyes, fine lines, and fat loss.

the ones ive tried are the cosrx snail peptide eye cream, the beauty of jeoseon ginsent and retinal eye cream, the mizon snail repair eye cream, the purito green level eye cream, the haru haru wonder cream the inky list retinol and caffine eye creams, the good molecules, yerba mate wake up eye gel, and the milky dress wrinkle and whitening eye cream. the ONLY ONES that i saw ANY difference with are the good molecules, milky dress, and haruharu, but the one from good molecules is adequate under makeup and the best by far and cheapest.

fat loss is one of the main reasons why you want to stay away from things like lash growth serums, there are some that claim to not cause fat loss, but tbh, seeing as the only way to fix it is via invasive cosmetic surgery- i wouldn't risk it. it's not worth it.

Next i go in with a cream. and then acne gel over top and then you're done!

So basically

shower

Toner,

hyaluronic acid/serum/hydrator

wait until skincare has absorbed,

Apply actives if you desire actives to fix issues, wait inbetween each application so that the skincare has time to sit and soak in,

You can apply your eye cream at the same time as these steps, because usually actives should not go around the eye area.

Cream, no need to wait

Acne treatment

hope that helps! i have to start my workout now~~~ good luck!

[thehighladywrites]

heyy!! i love your fics!🩷 i wanted to ask if you have a makeup routine?

hii sweet anon!!💗💗

Yes i do have one and these are the products i use

Okay before i even begin with my makeup, i do skincare. I wash my face with the cerave foaming cleanser, the mint green one.

i immediately use vaseline to soften my lips for later

Then i use the cosrx snail mucin on damp skin

Then i use the ordinary hyaluronic acid

After that i use the la roche-posay’s moisturizer, like a LOTTT so my skin looks hella shiny and smooth

Then I always their sunscreen too, and that will be my primer

I don’t use any primer if i do my skincare bc the makeup would just be sliding around otherwise

I spot conceal with the nars soft matte concealer and i REALLYYYY recommend this, it’s like skin in a pot

Okay so if i’m doing my everyday natural makeup i either just spot conceal or use a light layer of foundation

I use the nars light reflecting foundation, it’s so pretty and so fucking natural. Like a layer of this foundation looks like radiant and smooth skin

I blend that out with a brush, I always use a dense brush for my blending, then use a beauty blender for any excess product

DONT FORGET SETTING SPRAYYY

i use the urban decay all nighter, and tbh it stinks idk why ??? is anyone else experiencing this? like it REEEEEKS

anyways, i then bronze w the juvias place bronzer and blush with the patrick ta blush in the shade “she’s that girl”

I also use the juvia’s place blush in shade marigold glow, a tiiiiny dot is enough it’s very pigmented

after i blend all that i use the too faced concealer in the shade butterscotch and the nars one in chestnut, just to brighten everything.

I never conceal before blush and bronzer, always after!!

I set my face with more setting spray and use my mini fan to dry my face so the powder and liquid products don’t mix too much and make a mess

Then i immediately bake with the huda beauty powder in shade blondie while i do my eyebrows

I use the nyx brow pencil in shade espresso, i just lightly color in the ends, never the front or else my eyebrows will look boxy and i hate that

after that i use a random eyebrow gel idk what mine is called tbh i think it’s from technic

then i use an eyeshadow, always a brown one, typically i just use my bronzer as eyeshadow

the i use a kajal to darken my waterline, and a darkbrown shadow as eyeliner

i use the essence mascara, the red/pink one and the blue one. I also use the loreal telescopic mascara

sometimes i use a half lash at the ends

then remove the excess vaseline on my lips from before and use the barry m lipliner in shade chocolate + nyx buttergloss in shade ginger snap or just more vaseline bc i like my lips soft.

I use a tiny bit of the nyx gloss and more of the vaselin bc i HATE having sticky lips like i will gag i HATTEEEEEE it with a passion

anyways i think that’s it!! thanks for asking anon this was so fun to share💗💗💗

[babyfairy]

do you mind sharing the skin care products you use! 💗

yes omg! i haven’t done an updated routine in a while! right now it’s kind of a lot LOL so please bear with me! my current routine products + favorites (in no particular order) are:

- glow recipe plum plump hyaluronic acid serum: this is fine and i like it but you can find a much cheaper alternative that works just as well imo. i just love glow recipe’s packaging lol

- abib heartleaf calming toner: i use this in the mornings a lot and on the same days i’m using a retinoid or an exfoliant because i feel like it’s very soothing!

- cosRX BHA blackhead power liquid: i just started using this but i LOVE it. i have a lot of congestion on my nose and chin and i feel like this has helped a lot. really affordable too for how much you get because you don’t need to put a lot on your face!

- glow recipe watermelon glow niacinamide dew drops: i hate how much i love this serum because it is not cheap LOL but i love the way it feels and i can tell my skin loves it too. i’m on my second bottle!

- glow recipe avocado melt retinol eye cream: not everyone wants/needs an eye cream but i like to keep my under eyes super hydrated! this is also pricey lmao but it takes me a while to go through it so it’s worth it to me. has helped clear up a lot of the tiny bumps i had under my eyes.

- laneige lip sleeping mask: i genuinely am obsessed with this LMAO again not necessary but it makes my lips so shiny and i have the gummy bear flavor which is my fav. i have allergies that result in very dry/irritated lips and this helps immensely!

- good molecules gentle retinol cream: i just started using this too but i love it! i need a retinol in my routine honestly. it helps so much with texture and acne scarring. this is a really gentle formulation that’s great for beginners and it’s literally $8. i love it! i only use this 3x a week tops, and PM only.

- glow recipe watermelon glow PHA+BHA pore tight toner: obsessed is an understatement 🙃 this company has me in a chokehold lol. i love the way this feels on my skin and love how glowy i look after i use it. i don’t use this everyday either! only a few times a week.

- biore watery essence SPF: my #1 sunscreen. no white cast and it glides on really nicely without making me feel greasy afterwards. i ALWAYS WEAR SPF. using retinoids or other exfoliants without using SPF is a no go!!!! and this one is my fav so far.

- cosRX hyaluronic acid intensive cream: such a luxurious moisturizer!!! very hydrating. love this company. i love their snail mucin products too but i have an allergy to dust mites so i can’t use them unfortunately!! 💔💔💔 but if you aren’t allergic they’re great.

DIA I GOTTA KNOW

mythical creature you think/believe is real?

do you have a skincare routine (and how many steps is it)?

how’s your spice tolerance?

THANK YOU ELLI

i think most aliens are real, and i still lowkey believe dragons are real. dragons, or something that looks like them, are prevalent in almost every culture!

i do have a skincare routine, it is very long and very extensive bc i have genetically terrible skin, plus i deal with chronic skin-picking lol. so, here we go:

+twice daily i wash my face with a mix of Cerave hydrating cleanser and their foaming cleanser(they've recently made a hydrating foam cleanser, so once i run out im going to try that). i follow up with The Ordinary's niacinimide and one of their vitamin c treatments. then i use COSRx's snail mucin essence, then The Ordinary's caffeine undereye treatment and their hyaluronic acid, and finish with Cerave's hydrating moisturizer. if im going outside during the day, i follow up with Paula's Choice sunscreen.

+once a week i use The Ordinary's BHA + AHA treatment, one of their retinoid treatments, and a clay mask and sheet mask. the clay mask is just powdered bentonite clay that i mix with water or occasionally a bit of honey, and the sheet masks i use are from Tonymoly. i dont do any of these on the same day. typically its monday for the exfoliant, tuesday for the retinoid, wednesday for the clay mask, and thursday for the sheet mask!

+for special occasions, i also have undereye masks from Tonymoly and lip masks from Fourth Ray Beauty!

(like i said, very long and extensive, but my skin sucks and this is the only way to keep it in check lol)

and for the last question, my spice tolerance is just okay. it actually used to be a lot higher when i was younger, but it's gone way down since i hit my 30s :c im very sad about it bc i love spice!!!!

[rarebritney]

Hi Winnie! I feel like over covid lockdowns and then esp this year my face had gotten really dull, like my skin feels textured with bumps and visible pores and doesn’t have much bounce to it. I also have more wrinkles on my forehead 😣 I’m only mid 20’s. I don’t mind the idea of getting and looking older but there’s ppl who look fresh and bright despite wrinkles etc and I’d like to be like that one day. Is there anything that you would recommend that’s not too pricey? Ive liked The Ordinary hyaluronic acid in the past but should I be using retinol or something? Thanks in advance! 💖

I'm not sure I'd recommend something as strong as retinol, but maybe a glycolic or salicylic acid would help with texture/clogged pores! I love the Paula's choice daily BHA as a chemical exfoliant. I personally don't use chemical exfoliants bc I get perioral dermatitis. I might suggest changing up the products you use bc they might be causing the problems you're having! If you want to play around w different products without spending a lot I'd recommend Korean skincare, I typically buy it from the website masksheets.com. look for things that are toning, hydrating, plumping, etc! I love snail mucin products for effects like that as well

Current Skincare Routine(s) 🎀

I have a morning skincare routine and two separate night routines depending on the day of the week and what skincare products I use. For example, on a night I use my AHA/BHA toner, I do NOT use my retinal eye cream. I'll also include some tips that work for me at the end!

My skin type leans more towards Oily-Combination!

🩷 Usual AM Routine -

If I washed my face and did skincare the night before, I simply splash my face with cold water and pat dry with a clean towel. If I did not do my skincare the night before, I wash my face with the Cerave Hydrating Face Wash. This is the only face wash my skin likes, but I'm still looking for alternatives for my night routine!

Once I dry my face, I use the IUNIK Centella Asiatica Calming Gel Cream moisturizer. My skin loves this moisturizer. It helps with my redness and makes my skin feel so nice.

After that's soaked into my skin a bit, I rub in a layer of the Beauty of Joseon Rice and Probiotics SPF 50 sunscreen. I put this on my face and neck!

I typically apply a 2nd layer after the first one drys for some extra protection if I know I'll be outside for a bit during the day.

Cocoa Butter Vaseline or Blistex on my lips for some nice, not chapped lips before I do makeup and/or apply lip gloss/lip stick.

My morning routine is super simple and quick because I usually just want to get it done and move on with my morning. I still enjoy it, tho, because it makes me feel accomplished early on in the day!

🩷 PM Routine: Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat

I have an app that breaks down my skincare routine so I'm doing this off memory and what I remember from my typical routine for these days, but I do know these four days are different from the others for sure!

Occasionally, I will double cleanse and use my Hiemish All Clean Balm to remove sebum and oil impurities, but I'm not sure how I feel about this cleansing balm yet.

I wash my face with the Cerave Hydrating Face Wash using warm water and do a final rinse with cold water. Of course, I pat dry with a clean towel. I am looking for a water-based foam cleanser to follow the oil cleanse, so if you have any recommendations, please let me know!!

I then use two cotton balls to rub some Cosrx AHA/BHA Toner along my face to remove dead skin and then I spray some of the toner on my face, patting it in gently with my hands. I have to be careful with my eyes cause it will burn them if I get it in my eyes.

While the toner is still a bit damp on my face, I pump some Cosrx Snail Mucin Essence onto my cheeks, forehead, chin, and a little on my nose and pat it in gently.

I let the essence dry a little bit and then apply some Good Molecules Hyaluronic Acid serum while it's still damp. I pat this in as well, as it's better for absorption than just rubbing it in. I used to use the ordinary brand one, but omg, the Good Molecules one is so much better, in my opinion!!

I need to buy a new one, but occasionally, I'll use a niacinimide serum on my forehead, nose, above my upper lip, and chin as those are my more oily areas. I used to use The Oridnary Niacinimide, but I want to try to Good Molecules niacinimide.

Next, I use my Cerave Eye Repair Cream (the blue one) under my eyes for extra hydration while the hyaluronic acid absorbs into my skin.

Depending on how I'm feeling, I'll use either the Cosrx All in One Snail Cream or the Etude Soon Jung 2x Barrier Moisturizer to lock in everything. I usually choose the Cosrx Cream as I prefer it, but it again depends on how I feel!

A little bit of vaseline to end the routine so I can wake up with soft lips!

I feel like this night routine is more complex then my other night routine but it always depends on the products I use.

🩷 PM Routine: Tues, Thurs, Sun

I do not oil cleanse and instead just wash my face with the Cerave Hydrating Face Wash, patting dry after rinsing with cold water.

I then use some of the I'm From Rice Toner, patting it into my face. I layer this one on twice, being careful with my eyes cause this one will burn them like crazy.

I follow up with the Cosrx Snail Mucin Essence, patting it into my skin.

Next is the Good Molecules Hyaluronic Acid serum.

After the serum dries down, i apply a quarter to a half pump of the Beauty of Joseon Retinal Eye Cream underneath one eye and another quarter to a half pump to the other undereye areas, patting in gently while avoiding my actual eyes. If there's any leftover I gently pat into the surrounding areas. I'm not sure how my whole face will react to retinal so I'm careful with this one.

I then rub some Cosrx All in One Snail Cream over my face to lock in all the other skincare products and moisture.

A little bit of vaseline to the lips to ensure smooth, soft lips when I wake up!

I haven't noticed a difference with the retinal yet due to my inconsistent use but I do like how it feels the first few times after I use it, so I plan on continuing it.

Now, for some Tips:

Pat your face dry, never rub it with a towel. Rubbing it causes friction and pulling on the skin while patting is way more gentle on the face.

Initially wash with warm water but always final rinse with cold water. A while back I heard this helps with your pores, so I've just always done it and it makes my skin feel nice, especially in the morning!

Try to use either paper towels or a departed face towel (not your body towel) when drying your face. I myself use a separate towel for my face that I wash 2x a week and my skin doesn't typically break out.

Brush your teeth before applying skincare! This way, you don't disrupt the skincare surrounding your lips when brushing your teeth, flossing, or using mouthwash.

Always wash your hands before starting your skincare routine to minimize bacteria getting on your face.

Always try to patch test and figure out what works best for your skin, never just use what's viral or popular because not everyone has the same skin type. I feel lucky that my skin typically likes most products, but my skin is very picky with cleansers. I haven't found a cleanser besides the hydrating cerave one that my face likes. (The B.Lab Matcha Foaming Cleanser was so stripping my face turned red and peeled in certain places, a definite no go for me.)

Korean/Asian based skincare typically focuses more on hydrating the skin, while Western skincare tends to focus more on drying out the acne. I personally, as you have read, love Asian based skincare. Most of what I use is Korean skincare, and I'm still looking to expand my skincare collection because I love it so much!

Do your research! When I find a product that interests me, I watch pintetest and tiktok reviews, read the reviews on the actual shopping app, and read as much as I can on the Asian Beauty subreddit before making a purchase. I also like to read ingredient lists, application directions, and details on products, and I always Google what products can and can not mix together. it's helped me determine what to buy and what not to buy, and so far, my skin has loved it!!

Try to wash your pillowcases at least once a week and avoid touching your face with dirty or greasy hands. Also sanitize/disinfect your handheld devices/audio devices (cellphones, iPad or tablets, headphones, etc), eye glasses/sunglasses, and really just keep anything that touches your face as clean as possible. All of this helps to minimize how much bacteria and dirt make contact with your face.

Research different things that may help with improving skin. Ice rolling, gua sha, silk pillowcases, physical exfoliates, face masks, etc. Look into stuff that might help your skin or make a difference in your skins appearance and health.

This should've been higher up, my apologies, but drink your water!! Staying hydrated on the inside definitely shows on the outside, and being hydrated is an essential component to health overall!!

Wear your sunscreen!! Apply it in multiple layers to both your face AND NECK, as both are exposed to the sun for long periods of time and can suffer from prolonged exposure without proper sunscreen application. Along that line, don't be afraid to apply skincare to your neck!! I've seen photos of older individuals who took care of their face and not their neck and the difference between face and neck skin was astounding, so I personally like to rub excess hydrating serums and moisturizers into my neck as well.

Don't pop your acne! If you do get pimples, which I used to get all the time tho it's slowed down a lot, use a warm/hot washcloth or something similar to apply heat to the pimple. This will help it pop naturally, although popping your pimples may allow for the oil, dirt, and sebum to spread to other areas which may cause more acne. Popping acne with your hands may also cause scarring.

Love your skin!!! Skincare results take time, and there's going to be ups and downs while trying to find what products work for you, so try to love your skin throughout the process. Acne and other skin issues are caused by things sometimes out of our control, such as genetics, hormones, climate and weather, etc, so try not to be too hard on yourself!! Things will improve, and if they don't, after some time, seek out a reputable and trustworthy professional for an opinion and better direction on how to care for your skin!!

Wishing you all the best!! Does anyone have any experience with ice rolling or Gua sha being extremely effective? I haven't tried either, but I am looking into it as I feel like ice rolling, especially, might be beneficial, but I'm unsure. And can anyone recommend any Asian beauty water-based foam cleanser that I can use after an oil cleanse? I fear that my cerave isn't enough to fully remove all the cleansing balm residue from my face, which might end up being detrimental to my skin health.

Also, let me know your skin type and products or tools you recommend, as I am always open to including new things into my routine!! I love doing things for myself so expanding my skincare routine is definitely an interest of mine!

Til next time, lovelies 🩷

Ok first of all thank you so much for writing the fics and taking your time. I’m honestly so tired of other people and not keeping their opinions to themselves… ignore them your perfect in my eyes ✨

Also ima need you to drop more of your skincare routine/ products because I’ve never had my skin so 🤌🏼

That moisturizer you recommended to someone else for dry skin is saving me 😩

HI BABYYYY

Thank you my darling angel 😭 ngl this made me feel better — it’s been hell at work this week so I haven’t written a ton (plus, y’know, dealing with bullshit).

IM SO GLAD MY RECS HELPED!! I got another anon asking about my skincare routine and it got buried, so I’ll re-share — especially since I’ve made a few changes!

AM routine

Garnier’s micellar water to cleanse (pink cap — I think the blue and green leave a residue and I don’t like it)

Byoma’s balancing face mist

Natrium’s niaciminacide acid serum OR vitamin C (never together!)

Cosrx snail mucin essence (this is a winter step, just to make sure my skin stays nice and hydrated)

Byoma gel eye cream (the de-puffing one)

Byoma gel moisturizer

Beauty of joseon sunscreen (SPF 50)

—

PM routine

I start by double cleansing — it’s SUPER important to double cleanse with an oil-based cleanser especially if you wear sunscreen!!

Cleanser (1) — natrium’s oil balm/makeup remover with a warm washcloth

Cleanser (2) — I alternate every other day with youth to the people’s superfood cleanser (I just got it and I’m obsessed) and panoxyl (10%). I’ve also used versed’s jelly milky cleanser on non-panoxyl days, and I love that, too!

Byoma’s balancing face mist toner OR beauty of joseon’s ginseng toner (I alternate)

Natrium’s hyaluronic acid serum (apply while face is still wet from toner — otherwise it won’t absorb properly!)

*optional* face mask — usually a Dr Jart’s sheet mask, 2-3 times a week

Versed’s gentle pressed retinol serum

Cosrx snail mucin essence

Cosrx snail mucin 92 all in one cream

Versed rich skin soak moisturizer

An eye cream from No 7 but idk which one it is — brightening??

And I sleep on a silk pillow case! That helps with skin stuff (and hair)

happy skincare!

Snail Mucin: The Hidden Gem in Skincare Routines

Snail mucin is a natural powerhouse, loaded with glycoproteins, hyaluronic acid, and glycolic acid. These components work together to hydrate, exfoliate, and rejuvenate your skin. Picture it as a slow and steady journey to better skin.

Its superpower lies in hydration—snail mucin acts as a moisture magnet, leaving your skin looking plump and dewy. If you're dealing with dryness or aiming for a radiant glow, snail mucin could be the missing link in your skincare routine.

Don't be put off by its origin; embrace the slimy sensation for a smoother, brighter, and more resilient complexion. Let snail mucin crawl its way into your daily skincare regimen, and unveil the hidden secret to healthy, beautiful skin.

What Wonders It Can Do to Your Skin?

COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence

I mainly got it for its hydration and rumored effects to treat hyperpigmentation but i was fooled!!!!!

It does nothing for hyperpigmentation lol. From what i remember, studies show that there is little to no effect on hyperpigmentation with snail mucin.

The hydration was okay, I used it when i had inflamed and dry eyelids. I think other products would have done better jobs. I finished the whole bottle months ago but i do not plan on purchasing it again. Honestly, i think COSRX is too pricey; you can find cheaper options elsewhere. Apparently, their cleanser is nice, but i haven't tried it yet.

Currently, i am using the Hada Labo Gokujyun Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Milk (the white bottle - not the brightening one). It contains 4 types of hyaluronic acids and i prefer it over the COSRX snail mucin.

Price comparison in Canada (CAD):

COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence | ~25$ / 100mL

Hada Labo Gokujyun Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Milk | ~20$ / 140mL
