Hey guys, this is one of my latest posts sa girltalk after the longest time. Mas madalas na ko sa reddit asian beauty. Try visiting that page too super dami kayo matututunan including the importance of low pH cleansers and important ingredients for every skin type.
Also makikita nyo yung routines ng iba na hindi naman talaga puro korean products yung ginagamit. Meron din na mixed japanese, taiwanese and even US or Canadian products yung routine nila pero finofollow pa rin nila yung korean skincare of layering products. Ako, my routine is mixed too. Not saying to ditch this thread but try visiting that page too and share what you learned from there here
Anyway, sharing my routine para makita nyo example ng mixed routine and also some tips for beginners.
My skin is super dehydrated and prone to closed comedones (yung parang maliliit na butlig na minsan natutuloy sa pimple)
Morning
1. Wash with water
2. C20 vit c serum
3. Hada Labo Premium lotion (Japanese)
4. Aromatica aloe vera gel
5. Deciem The Ordinary Niacinamide serum (Canadian) for fading my dark spots
6. Naruko tea tree shine control and blemish clear serum (taiwanese)
7. Scinic Honey AIO ampoule
8.Mizon Snail gel
9. Biore Aqua fresh uv sunscreen yung blue na tube (japanese)
Night
1. Heimish cleansing balm or Muji cleansing oil or Kose softymo deep cleansing oil - the last 2 are japanese products
2. Lactacyd baby bath wash or HHN moisturizing facial wash or Hada Labo foaming facial wash- first 2 are local products and the Hada Labo is japanese
3. Cosrx A-sol toner
4. C20 vit c serum -wait 20 min for absorption
5. Cosrx BHA -wait 20 min
6. Cosrx AHA - weekends only; wait 20 min
7. Manyo Factory Bifidalacto complex essence
8. Kikumasamune high moist lotion
9. Hada Labo Gokyujun lotion
10. Cosrx Snail mucin
11. Scinic Honey AIO ampoule
12. Kuramoto Bijin Ferment milk(japanese) or Beauty of Joseon cream(korean) or Cerave PM(US) as my moisturizer
13. Cosrx Rice sleeping mask
14. Rosette ceramide gel (japanese) as my occlusive and heavy moisturizer to seal it all in.
On alternative nights, after cleansing my face, I use retin a alone for anti aging.
Ayan example ng mixed routine and it works for me.
I get my products from Althea, The Skincare Curator, From Busan to Cebu, Shop Pibu, dara beauty market, Mamyo Factory Ph, Naruko Ph Online shops that does preorders from the US, Japan and Korea. Marami nyan sa shoppee and insta.
Other tips:
1. Di nyo kelangan ng super duper haba na routine lalo na kung walang budget. At kung beginner pa lang, pwedeng magstart muna sa basics. Dito nyo rin malalaman kung merong product na hiyang or di kayo hiyang as opposed to sobrang dami agad tas di mo na malaman kung ano nagcacause ng pimples mo.
2. Samples are your best friend. Alam ko meron sa shoppee ng mga nagbebenta ng takal at samples. Very useful ito para di aksaya ang full size pag di hiyang.
3. Wag maoverwhelm. Daming youtube gurus at blogs na wala ng katapusan ang routine sa dami ng products. You don't have to buy all those and you especially don't need all those para gumanda skin mo. Hindi porket gumana sa kanya ganun din effect sayo. Some of the skincare enthusiasts I got to know ang gamit 5 items lang pero umokay skin nila.
4. Consistency is key. Just like exercising, kung gusto mo ng results dapat consistent ka. And skincare is a lifetime investment. Hindi porket naachieve mo na results, titigil mo na.
Anyway, good luck to everyone.
Happy to answer questions and share my knowledge from reddit
