Getting back into a skincare routine.

Previously I had been trying to find a good Asian beauty-based routine and had:

1. 1st cleanser: KOSE Softy Mo Deep Treatment Oil
2. 2nd cleanser: CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser
3. Hydrating toner: Hadalabo Gokujun Hyaluronic Lotion Moist
4. Serum: COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
5. Moisturizer: various, hadn't found one I liked
6. Sunscreen: Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery

Lately, I've mostly just been using the CeraVe face wash in the shower and then putting the Hadalabo and COSRX on after. Sunscreen if I'm going outside. But I'm going to try to get back into a full routine.

I bought CeraVe PM to try as my moisturizer for a few weeks to see how my skin does with that. (less)

2. Gomage

3. Face washing foam

4. Pat face with a towel. Be gentle

5. Use toner.

6. Serum

7. Day cream+eye cream+SPF cream || Night cream+eye cream or night mask

8. Use a sheetmask or multimask once a week (after a good bathsoak)

That's it for now. The most difficult part is find the products that are good for your skin. The may be littered with such obstacles as skin breakage, light allergies, empty purse but never fears. Clear skin is a worthy goal. And very rewarding.



P.S. At first I used The Body Shop products, they are great and not that expensive (but not cheap either). From less expensive ones I am using Garnier Foaming wash and day cream which are good alternative to TBS. Some Korean sheetmasks. (less)
