K-Beauty Skin Prep Routine ✨
As a makeup lover, skin prep is a MUST for textured & combo/oily skin!
Here is my routine to reduce cakey makeup, while still maintaining a glow:
the FIRST step: always start with clean skin!
• I either go in with my face wash or toner pads to remove the dirt and oil that has built up
next step: I use toner to even out my skin!
• For when my skin is extra dry or normal, I use my tried and true snail mucin toner, and when my skin is extra oily I use a pore-minimizing toner! I also like using this toner in my t-zone to blur my pores
another important step: Moisture is a MUST!
• I use an oil-free moisturizer to avoid my makeup being cakey or breaking up
last but not least: I always use suncreen to protect my skin and get that glow!
• This sunscreen by Skin1004 also makes for a tacky base for my makeup to stick to

From my personal experience, prepping your skin properly makes a dramatic difference in makeup application, especially if you have combo or oily skin. I’ve found that starting with thorough cleansing or using toner pads like Abib Heartleaf spot pads effectively removes excess oil and impurities, which helps makeup last longer without looking patchy. For toning, products with snail mucin, such as the Peach Slices Snail Rescue Blemish Busting Toner, provide not only hydration but also promote skin healing and soften texture—ideal when your skin feels dry or normal. When my skin is oilier, I switch to pore-minimizing toners to tighten pores and create a smooth surface. Moisturizing is critical, but I always choose an oil-free formula to prevent makeup from clumping. The Peach Slices Snail Rescue All-in-One moisturizer is a personal favorite because it balances hydration without adding greasiness, leaving my skin with a balanced glow. Finally, sunscreen is a vital step—not just for protection but also as a makeup base. The Skin1004 Centella Water Fit Sun Serum stands out since it offers light, hydrating sun protection and a slightly tacky texture that helps makeup adhere better throughout the day. Incorporating these steps into my morning routine has helped me achieve smoother, longer-lasting makeup without sacrificing skin health or radiance. For those with textured, combo, or oily skin, experimenting with these K-Beauty staples can transform your approach to skin prep and makeup performance.
