My Skincare Routine

If you follow along here at all, it’s pretty clear that I’m really into gardening and cooking. What I haven’t shared as much yet is my interest in skin care. I think I get it from my mom, growing up I always tagged along as she got her creams and other skin products from various make-up counters. Starting in my 20’s I started using a daily moisturizer with SPF and an eye cream, but then I really got into it after our family’s visit to South Korea 2 years ago. I picked up a number of products during that trip, and since then I started following a few blogs and different sites to learn more. It’s a little bit of a rabbit-hole and more recently, I haven’t been following or reading much of anything. But, I have my little routine going. Curious? Here’s what my routine looks like.

Mornings 

In the mornings, I keep it really simple. I splash my face just with water, and after it’s dry, I use Misscha Essence Sun Milk. It’s SPF 50 and very light. If I remember, I put a little dab of eye creme under my eyes and a little dusting of bareMinerals foundation.

Evenings

Things get a little more involved at the end of the day. I use the double cleanse method which has worked really well for me in getting my face very clean. I start with an oil based cleanser, I have this one and this one that I alternate between. I follow with this foaming cleanser, and if I need it, remove any lingering eye make up with makeup remover.

Ideally a few times a week, I exfoliate. After my face is clean, I use this as a sort of toner and follow with a moisturizer and eye cream.

Not all of the night routine happens every night! Sometimes I just use the foaming cleanser and call it good and maybe I’ll remember to moisturize.

If you’re interested, a couple helpful places to read more about skin care are Soko Glam, Goop, and Gal Meets Glam.
