Skincare Routine

I’m no gatekeeper! Here it is, folks:

Morning:

  1. Pour a small amount of Bioderma Micellar water onto a washcloth and swipe across face.
  2. Rinse face with water.
  3. While skin is still damp, pour a quarter sized amount of Byoma Hydrating Milky Toner into your hand and pat into your face gently.
  4. Apply Dapsone 7.5% gel (prescription only) to face, avoiding eye area. *Note: this is for my fellow acne-having friends who go to the dermatologist. If you don’t need this, skip it!
  5. Pat in a quarter-sized amount of Olay Active Hydrating Beauty Fluid Lotion (Original) across your face, avoiding the eye area.
  6. Gently dab a pea-sized amount of Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum under your eyes using your ring finger.
  7. Apply a quarter sized amount of Ultra Violette Future Screen SPF 50 to your face.

Evening:

  1. Pour as much Bioderma Micellar water as needed to remove makeup/sunscreen on a Makeup Eraser.
  2. Rinse face with water.
  3. While skin is still damp, pour a quarter sized amount of Byoma Hydrating Milk Toner into your hand and pat into your face gently.
  4. Dot a large pea-sized amount of Tretinoin Cream, 0.05% onto your face. I usually do as many dots as it takes to use up the pea-sized amount, distributing it evenly across my face. *Note: this is prescription only for my acne pals. If you don’t need it, skip it!
  5. Pat in a quarter-sized amount of Olay Active Hydrating Beauty Fluid Lotion (Original) across your face, avoiding the eye area.
  6. Gently dab a pea-sized amount of Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum under your eyes using your ring finger.
