girl what’s your skincare routine!? your skin looks so nice and smooth i’m so jelly 🤧🤧🤧
This is gonna be a liddo long because I recently revamped my skincare routine and I’ve been having rlly great results, I’m using the korean 9+ steps method at night and I actually enjoy having my routine be kinda lengthy! I have oily/combo skin that is also sensitive and prone to redness/rosacea and hormonal breakouts during my period. My skin is also very… high maintenance? Lol if I drink or eat bad for a long period of time, my skin is very susceptible to that 🤕
In the mornings this is my skincare routine:
1. Wash face w african black soap
2. Tone face w the body shop vitamin e toner
3. Apply oil (I rotate between tarte maracuja oil, rosehip seed oil and drunk elephant marula oil)
4. Apply vitamin c serum (I rotate between drunk elephant c-firma and ole henriksen truth serum)
5. Moisturize using ole henriksen sheer transformation
6. I use an under eye brighter if I didn’t sleep enough I use origins ginzing eye cream
7. U should apply sunscreen after this, I’m in the midst of researching this so I haven’t bought one yet
At night my skincare routine gets a little more complex
1. I double cleanse so I start w the body shop chamomile cleansing oil
2. cleanse w neutrogena naturals cleanser + makeup remover (very gentle n has peruvian ingredients lol)
3. I exfoliate 1-2 times a week, rn I’m loving the skinfood black sugar strawberry mask
4. use body shop vitamin e toner w shiseido cotton squares (they’re so nice n soft I highly rec, they’re worth it)
5. I’m trying out the cosrx propolis ampoule this week so I have no formed opinion rn but otherwise if I need it that day, I’ll use a sheet mask- I have a drawer full of them so I pick whatever suits my needs that day
6. apply oil, rotate between tarte maracuja oil, rosehip seed oil and drunk elephant marula oil
7. I am new to acids atm so I’m using sunday riley good genes (I tried the drunk elephant TLC but it was too abrasive for my skin) and building up usage as the weeks go
8. next I use the dr jart cicapair serum which has been good at evening out my redness
9. Next is retinol, I am in love w sunday riley luna so that’s what I’m using rn but I also have differin which I wanna try out soon. After u apply take a 20 min break so the retinol has a chance to sink into ur skin.
10. The last step finally lol is to moisturize, I rotate between dr jart ceramidin cream (my fave) and origins night-a-mins
11. Additionally, when I need a spot treatment I’ll either use tea tree oil, origins super spot remover or the cosrx acne patches
12. Eye cream is optional one that I rlly like is the innisfree green tea eye cream
13. Lips are super important too! I swear by the laneige sleep lip mask, I’m now on my 3rd tub of it and it lasts me a whole year
So yeah, that’s my skincare routine! I know it’s a lot but you can customize it to ur own needs to find out what works the best for u. I hope this helps!!
