𝜗𝜚 skincare a comprehensive guide to skincare



here's to something i'm proud of this year !! from being made fun of for my acne to getting daily compliments on my glowing skin—it's been a long journey. before (november 2023):


after (december 2024):


what i was struggling with: dry skin, forehead acne, clogged and enlarged pores, closed comedones, inflammation/redness, acne scarring, sebum
going out of my comfort zone because i just wanted to share this and show you that yes, it does work! even i'm surprised by the side by side comparison. keep in mind that this is just how I targeted my own skin concerns. everybody is different the things that work for me might not work for you! but hopefully this will give you a place to start <3
oil cleanser
i've actually tried two of these:
beauty of joseon ginseng cleanser
ma:nyo pure cleansing oil (got this cheaper from costco)
dispense a good amount of oil onto your palm and rub it into your face for about 1 min. then, emulsify by adding water to your face (it should turn white) and rub again for about 1 min. wipe it all off when you're done!
helps get rid of: clogged pores, sebum, dead skin
this step made the biggest difference for me. when my acne was really bad, i'd pile on heavy makeup to try and cover it. but, instead of deeply cleansing my face, i'd just scrub it off with a towel and sparingly use micellar water here and there! oil cleansers really get into your skin water-based cleanser
i use this in the morning before i do my makeup! (and use the oil cleanser at night)
beauty of joseon green plum refreshing cleanser
squeeze a dime-sized amount onto your palm. add just a bit of water to it and scrub it in your palm until it foams up. apply that foam to your face and cleanse for about 1 min, then wash it off.
helps get rid of: oil, sweat, dirt, other particles
i actually got this recommended to me as someone with really sensitive skin! i used to use it right after the oil cleanser to double-cleanse, but as my skin has greatly improved, now i just use this one in the morning. toner
isntree ultra-low molecular hyaluronic acid toner
pat it onto your face with clean, dry hands! important: let it dry before applying your next product.
helps attract moisture, balances pH, super soothing
my favorite toner, especially for my dry skin girlies!
serum
skin1004 centella ampoule
squeeze some onto your face as needed!
honestly my holy grail. centella is super soothing and this ampoule leaves my face feeling super smooth. it's super good with healing, this is perfect for whenever i have an active pimple and need to calm it down or need my makeup to go over something better! one of my favs <3
spot treatment
lion pair acne cream
use it on active pimples or acne scars!
literally a lifesaver. put this baby on and say goodbye to that blemish. moisturizer
nature republic mild & moisture aloe vera gel
okay. admittedly i stopped using it over the summer since my other products are already very moisture-heavy, but i went into winter a few weeks ago wondering why my skin felt so flaky and this has saved my life. super healing and hydrating and a wonderful last step to my routine that kind of seals everything together! bonus
laneige lip sleeping mask at night
dhc lip cream in the morning
shiseido tsubaki premium repair hair mask (for low porosity hair)
shiseido tsuaki premium moist hair care set
and....that's it!
