Daytime routine

My day starts off in the bathroom of course and getting ready for my workout, I don’t wash my face before a workout, but I do wipe a soaked cotton pad of Son&Park Beauty Water and apply sunscreen since I exercise outdoors. I am currently using L’eau Claire Callus RX G7 BB, which is made to aid with blemishes, irritation and inflamed skin. After a good sweat, I shower and give my face a good cleanse.

To start I go in with SkinFoods Egg White Perfect Pore Cleansing Foam, which is excellent for oily skin. I’ve really found this product to work well on my skin and holding up to all the rave reviews I’d seen. I follow up with NEOGEN Real Flower Cleansing Water—Calendula on a cotton pad, then giving my skin a good exfoliation with SkinFood Back Sugar Mask Wash Off, after washing that off, I add a few drops of Son&Park Beauty Water to my palms and pat that in, then a pump or two or COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence, finishing up with Easydew EX Repair Control Renewal Moisture and a tinted sunscreen *same as before* and sunscreen powder which is the Eminence Sun Defence in NO.3 Peaches & Cream which is also water resistant. after I’ve finished up with my face, I focus on moisturizing my body with 92% Aloe Vera by Nature Republic. There are all kinds of amazing moisturizers out there, this is just what I’m using at the moment. 

I normally try to retouch my suncare as often as needed, cause it's important to do, but also a challenge with a busy schedule if you’re not used to doing so regularly. Just try to make it a good habit to retouch your suncare.

Nightly Routine

Winding down at the end of the day, I start with a double cleanse with Innisfree Balancing Cleansing Oil with Green Tea, after working that into my skin and removing my eye makeup and sunscreen, I simply rinse with lukewarm water, then moving on to the second cleanse which is normally on rotation between, PURITO Defence Barrier Ph Cleanser or the COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser working that into a nice foaming lather, rinsing off and then apply RE:P Bio Fresh Mask With Real Calming Herb *I rave about this and it’s incredible ability to reduce inflamation and redness. Okay, so after leaving that on for about 10 minutes, I pat on a few drops of the NEOGEN Real Flower Cleansing Water—Calendula as a toner, then going in with Advance Snail 96 Essence, then moving on to the serums and booters; I use NEOGEN Pore Refine Serum and PCASkin C&E Strength Max at this step, then a good moisturizer, Easydew EX Repair Control Renewal Moisture or the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Pink Juice Moisturizer. Lastly as a once a week sleep pack I use the Glow Recipe Watermelon Sleeping Pack. 

I based this on the Korean 10 step and my morning routine is based on Soko+Ipsy collaboration (Link). You can learn more about the infamous 10 step and read up on all things skincare from a Cali native turned K-beauty enthusiast, an incredible entrepreneur, and business owner. she is head of both SokoGlam and TheKlog. *I gush cause she’s my utmost favorite and someone who truly insfires me! I digress, thanks for reading and taking interest in my morning and night skincare routine. 

Thanks so much for reading! 

Lots of love!

Up Next

I’ll be challenging myself to the IU diet for three days... But if I’m feeling up to it, I’ll push myself to finish off the rest of the week. I’ll try to post daily and give you updates on how it goes. I’ll be posting my starting measurements and some photos to reference what I look like at the start of this craziness. 

Formulated without the following:

Parabens 

Sulfates 

Phthalates 

Highlighted Ingredients:

Papaya, lavender, rosa damascene flower water, orange fruit extract, coconut, wheat, citrus grandis (Grapefruit) peel oil, cedrus Atlantica (willow) bark oil, rose follower oil, etc.

the natural fruit, oils and other scented ingredients used really give this beauty water such a lovely mild scent. It’s almost non-existent, but, also mildly present at the same time. I found it very pleasant and refreshing.

Being a multitasking toner, mild exfoliator and cleanser, this particular beauty water is definitely not on the list of average beauty waters. It comes highly recommended by many far and wide-in fact, it was recommend to me by Ainsley (another product recommendation by such a wonderfully beautiful human being) I much say she wasn't exaggerating when describing this product to me during my treatment. It is really great for all skin types.. normal, oily, combination, dry and even sensitive skin; Dealing with Dullness, uneven texture, dryness and uneven skin tone. 

It certainly leaves the skin smooth and ready for the rest of my routine. My morning and night routines differ, and sometimes, my day to day routines do as well. It all depends really. This beauty water has a pH of about 4.5 which effectively balances the skins natural pH levels after cleansing, which is great! Love me some good ole pH balancing products~

Natural Origin:

Natural ingredients leave skin refreshed and revitalized, even for sensitive skin.

Cleansing:

The skin is cleansed thoroughly and gently with natural ingredients derived from coconut, corn, potato and wheat.

Moisturizing:

Formulated with lavender flower/leaf/stem extract, rosa damascena flower water and orange fruit extract to deliver intense hydration.

Light Exfoliator:

Protease, carica papaya fruit water renew the skin surface by lifting impurities and removing dead skin cells for smoother skin.

I’ve found this beauty water to be quite the game changer in my routine, and what started as a mere product test, turned into something more. I love this product and it will definitely always have a spot on my shelf for as long as it’s on the market-and if ever it is discontinued I’d most definitely stock up... no doubt about that. I use this as a standalone cleanser in the morning/after my workouts, following up with whatever may come next. I've recommended this to many, and they’ve actually fallen in LOVE with it after one use. This product is true to its word and highly favored by many-not just in the K-beauty community, but also the Western, and European beauty communities as well. 

How to Use:

Moisten a cotton pad and gently sweep across your face, starting from the center and working outward.
