My (mostly Korean) Skincare Routine🫧✨🩷

Okay, skincare lovers, you asked, and I'm delivering! As someone who's always on the hunt for that perfect glow, I've finally nailed down a (mostly Korean) skincare routine that leaves my skin feeling absolutely amazing. I truly believe consistent care with the right products makes all the difference, and I’m not gatekeeping my secrets! My routine largely features incredible products from Beauty of Joseon, known for their traditional Korean herbal ingredients, alongside a trusty favorite from Clinique. A common question I get is about product textures and *steps*, especially with Korean skincare, so I’ll dive into that as well, giving you the full scoop on my morning and evening rituals. My Morning Skincare Ritual I start my day with a gentle cleanse to prep my skin. For Step 1-2 (Morning), I reach for the Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Cleanser. This cleanser has a lovely, light gel texture that lathers gently without stripping my skin. I use just a dime-sized amount on a wet face, massage it in circular motions, and rinse thoroughly. It leaves my skin feeling clean and ready for the next steps. Next up, for Step 2-3 (Morning), it's the Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Toner AHA + BHA. This toner has a wonderfully watery texture, perfect for hydrating and gently exfoliating. I pour a generous amount into my palms and gently press it into my skin until fully absorbed. It helps refine my skin texture and preps it to better absorb my next products. For Step 3-4 (Morning), I apply Clinique Moisture Surge. This gel-cream moisturizer feels incredibly refreshing and lightweight. Since I have combination skin, I focus on areas that tend to get drier, like under my nose, chin, and around my eyes, but it’s great all over too. It provides a burst of hydration without feeling heavy. And of course, no morning routine is complete without sun protection! For the Last step (Optional), if I’m heading out or even just near windows, I use the Beauty of Joseon SPF Cream. It has a smooth, non-greasy texture that applies beautifully under makeup, and I make sure to apply it all over my face and neck. My Evening Skincare Ritual Evening is when I focus on deep cleansing and repair. My Step 1 (Evening) is always a double cleanse, starting with the Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Cleansing Oil. This oil has a luxurious, silky texture that effortlessly melts away makeup and sunscreen. I apply two pumps to a dry face, gently massage it in to break down impurities, and then rinse with warm water. It emulsifies beautifully, leaving no oily residue. After the oil cleanse, for Step 1-2 (Evening), I follow up with the Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Cleanser again, just like in the morning, to ensure my skin is thoroughly clean. Then, for Step 2-3 (Evening), I reapply the Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Toner AHA + BHA to continue with gentle exfoliation and hydration. Finally, for Step 3-4 (Evening), I finish with Clinique Moisture Surge to lock in hydration overnight, especially focusing on those drier areas. Sometimes, if my skin needs extra love, I might layer a sleeping mask, but this combo is my go-to for consistent results. This routine has truly transformed my skin, making it feel fresh, hydrated, and smooth. Giving each product time to absorb and really paying attention to the application has made a huge difference for me. I hope sharing my steps and favorite products helps you on your own skincare journey!
