Hello everyone, welcome to today’s skincare video. Today I am showing you a K-Beauty Routine to calm and repair skin. There are a few steps, so this is a more self care than self maintenance day. The products in this routine have been carefully selected based on some of the key ingredients in the formulas that I like such as Snail, Honey, Centella and Aloe.
I start with the MIZON Snail Repairing Foam Cleanser
The MIZON cleanser is thick and stringy and is meant to foam. When deciding on a cleanser and if it’s right for you, think about how well it cleans and removes dirt, makeup, sunscreen or any other impurities on skin; as well as if it clears your pores, and has a low pH number.
This cleanser deep cleans, is gentle and doesn’t strip the skin; it is suitable for combination to oily skin. Snail mucin is rich in protein and glycolic acid to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles while helping to boost skin’s firmness and elasticity. Combining lightly exfoliating Papaya extract and antioxidant-rich Green Tea it’s good for pore care and exfoliation, removes excessive sebum and dead skin cells, and purifies pores. It leaves skin filled with moisture and supple after cleansing, still feeling hydrated.
The only problem with this cleanser is that is has a pH of 8; very high. However, I don’t mind this product because it’s so cheap and effective; I just make sure to not use it all the time.
Next I apply the I’m From Honey Mask
It has 38.7% natural honey from Mountain Jiri in South Korea. Honey is a nourishing ingredient, with antioxidant and antibacterial properties that help heal wounds and forms a barrier on the skin to soothe and protect. Honey is also incredibly moisturising, and the amount in this mask gives skin a deep treatment to increase suppleness and elasticity, my skin feels bouncy and smooth after I use it.
The mask also effectively removes whiteheads and provides exfoliation to give clear complexion. There is also Propolis rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids. Bentonite to remove impurities, nourish and replenishes elasticity. And Hazelnut oil to tighten pores
The mask has a soft creme texture, smells delicious and has a moist, comfortable finish without any stickiness. It doesn’t feel like there is anything on my face, and it washes off easily without le aving any residue.
I like when I add a mask to my routine because I sometimes like and need to slow down and pause. Normally my skincare takes me less than 5 minutes, but when I put a mask on I now tap into the self care aspect rather than just skin maintenance. Spending an extra 15 minutes to get my skin and mind aligned. For my mask moment today I just spent time on my phone reading messages and watching YouTube videos.
After I wash the mask off I go in with the Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner
Before I start applying my other products I use this toner to create the environment that will maximise my skincare. This is an ideal product to prepare the skin
The toner contains 93% Milk Vetch Root Extract loaded with Betaine that gently helps hydrate skin and maintain moisture, as well as its anti-aging benefits of preventing wrinkles. There are also antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and nutrient-boosting properties of the root extract. The toner absorbs into the skin easily leaving it intensely hydrated, feeling smooth and looking healthy.
This is a good product for sensitive skin because of the minimal ingredients list. There are only 7 ingredients in the formula and they are all plant based with medicinal benefits. It is vegan, free from artificial fragrances, dyes, colours and parabens.
Next I use the Purito Centella Green Level Buffet Serum
This has been my go to serum, I have been reaching for it daily because of the simple ingredients and it is also good for an anti-ageing. The serum is formulated with 49% Centella Asiatica extract to effectively soothe and calm irritated, troubled skin. Centella Asiatica is most well-known for its wound-healing abilities. Getting the name “tiger grass” from the legend where tigers would roll around in the plant after a battle in an effort to soothe their wounds.
The serum contains a Peptide composed of amino acids that make up protein. Which helps to increase skin regeneration, improves wrinkles, and enhances skin elasticity so skin looks more radiant. There is Panthenol an active ingredient good for sensitive skin. When absorbed into the body, panthenol becomes vitamin B. It soothes and restores tired skin and strengthens the skin barrier. It helps calm redness and soothes sensitive skin.
Then I apply the ÍUNIK Centella Calming Gel Cream
The moisturiser contains 70% Centella Asiatica and 10% Tea Tree Water, formulated to calm and hydrate troubled skin as well as reduce irritation, redness and treat blemishes, acne and inflammation. There is also Niacinamide and Adenosine that helps brighten skin tone and combat the early signs of ageing.
I think the moisturiser works well for oily and combination skin types. It is soothing and refreshing because of the gel texture and it is light weight with no greasy residue.
This is a good product for sensitive skin because the Centella has antioxidant properties that soothes stressed and irritated skin. I reach for this product mainly on hot summer days as the Centella acts as an extra layer to protect the skin barrier from sun damage.
And Lastly I use the COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream
The COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream is a physical and chemical sunscreen, UVA and UVB protection while also moisturising the skin with aloe leaf extract. UV radiation is present every day of the year. We need to protect our skin daily from the damaging UV rays by making sure sunscreen is apart of every skincare routine. UVB rays cause sunburn, but UVA rays can penetrate the deeper layers of our skin, creating sun damage and ageing. And that is why you need a sunscreen that offers both forms of protection.
I like this sunscreen because it is light weight and does not makes my skin feel greasy or give me a white cast after I use it. And the Aloe gives long lasting moisture and hydration to leave skin smooth and refreshed. I am comfortable enough to wear this sunscreen everyday. I haven’t experienced any skin irritation or acne breakouts from this product.
And so that is the end of the routine. The I’m From Honey Mask and Purito Centella Green Level Buffet Serum are recent additions and have made into my currently loving list (watch my Top 10 K-Beauty List). When my skin is feeling stressed, and needs to reset I like to take time to give it more nutrients. That is why I reach for products that have a variety of super star ingredient such as Snail, Honey, Centella and Aloe. These products have amazing ingredients such minimal yet effective.
