Sharing my current daytime skincare all here! 💗

My skin type: Dry/Combination; Acne-prone (also kinda sensitive)

Step 1: Cleanser 🧖🏻‍♀️- I get oily during the summer so cleansing in the morning is essential to get rid of any excessive oil before applying other skincare products. Depending on how my skin feels, I alternate between the La Roche Posay Cleanser and the Alpyn Beauty cream cleanser, both are extremely gentle it helps lock in the moisture without feeling greasy.

Step 2: Toning 💆🏻‍♀️- I swear by kbeauty toners/facial sprays/essence water! Something about them makes my skin “glow” and keeps my skin very hydrated before adding on other skincare products. The d’Alba facial spray is my current holy grail right now especially when I feel a little dry I can use this right after cleansing or I use this to set my makeup in place. The beauty of Joseon essence water is another great product for extra hydration, I like to add a few layers to my skin to get that “glass” skin glow! Again, I alternate between the two products.

Step 3: Essence 🧴 - This is an extra step and investment that I do for my skin. I have gone through at least 5 bottles of SK-II pitera essence at this point because I can see how it significantly reduced the sun spots and discolorations that I got from acne scarring. It overall improved my skin’s barrier over time with consistent use. I know it is pricey but this 230ml bottle actually lasts me about 6 months with day and night use, which honestly is pretty great value. You can always wait for a sale too!

Step 4: Serum ✨ - Vitamin C is my best friend for my daytime skincare routine for a while now! I mentioned earlier that I had acne scars and dark spots this helps me brighten up the spots. My current favorite is the Neostrata Vitamin C serum, I can feel the formula is working very well to continue to diminish the spots. It is very important to wear sunscreen on top of this serum as well, it actually strengthens your sun protection.

Step 5: Moisturizer 💦- Definitely need to lock up that moisture after all the goodies you applied before! The Rose Inc Moisturizer is lovely it feels luxurious with little micro-encapsules that burst extra hydration. The formula is great for pretty much all skin types I think! It has a gel-like texture without feeling greasy or not hydrating enough.

Step 6: Sunscreen ☀️- This is an important step to wrap it all up. I love kbeauty sunscreens all year round! The soon jung sun cream is a little more hydrating and makes your skin look a little more dewy. The Skin1004 sun cream is watery and slightly lighter formula. I use the two-finger rule as a guide to measure how much sunscreen I need for my whole face.

That’s the end of my skincare routine! Do you use any of these products too? Feel free to let me know If you have any skincare recs too! 💖
