IreviewUread Korean Beauty Skincare Routine - Morning Routine
One of the questions I get the most is what do I use for my skin. As I test new products all the time, my answer is always different. The number of steps for my skin also depends on whether what I'm testing and if I am masking daily. These days I'm not only slimming down my skincare routine steps but I'm sticking to the same few products. Thus, I feel that this would be the perfect time to share with you what I use on my skin on a daily basis.
I've chosen to use the Korean skincare range for as a person with fair skin tone, living in a humid environment, Korean products fits me the best. Their products are often very light-weighted and does not overly mattifies the skin. They help control the extra sebum and gives the face a healthy glow at the same time. The perfect look for us Asians.
Step 1 : Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser | Althea Korea
This amazing cleanser by Althea not only acts as a gentle cleanser but it is the perfect makeup remover as well. Upon first look, I thought it would feel watery. Instead it felt very gel-liked. I like how my face does not feel dry even after through cleansing of the dirt and excess sebum. The perfect everyday cleanser for all.
Step 2: A'PIEU Stone Peach Stone Pore Less Freshener
This is a very peachy smelling toner. I purchased it during my Xmas Haul. It aims to help contract one's pores, balance the pH levels and mildly cleanse one's skin. I find it very refreshing but I'm not sure if it does actually help with the contraction of my pores.
Step 3: It's Skin Power 10 Formula GF Effector (H20), Vitamin C Effector, and Vitamin E Effector
In my 2018 Althea Xmas Wish List, I was gushing over the wonders of these serums. It is no doubt that they sneaked their way into my daily skincare routine. They each have their individual properties, that provide my skin with enough moisture, brightness and reduce redness. I purchased all of them from Althea Korea: Vitamin E | Vitamin C | H2O
Step 4: Moremo Facial Cream Z
Made for those who wishes to battle their oily and acne prone skin, this cream is perfect to be utilized as a day cream. It is of a thick consistency and helps to mattify the skin. Additionally, my skin condition did improve after usage - lesser acne.
Note: Although I didn't include it in the video, one must not forget about sunscreen application before heading out.Stay Fresh Body Sparkling Mist | Althea X Titi Kamal
Ever since I've received the Stay Fresh Body Sparkling Mist, I've been using this as my staple perfume. Its main ingredients includes Damask rose water,Sweet orange oil, and Elder flower extract. With these ingredients the mist keeps the skin hydrated, refreshes the senses, soothes and cools the skin.
I love how it smells like a mixture of peach, orange and roses. The perfect scent for me. Plus, it fits into my purse so easily. Perfect for a quick spritz when I'm out and about. I never knew I needed this - for I don't really focus on purchasing scents most of the time - until I had this. These days, I can't leave home without using it first. Additionally, it doesn't irritate my skin like normal perfume does.
With that, that's my daily 4 - 5 step morning skincare routine. As opposed to what all my friends think, I really don't do a 20 steps skin care routine. These days, I'm saving time and keeping it simple.
