Current Skincare Rountine
In terms of my skincare, if I find a product that I like, I tend to stick to it or buy back ups. Skincare is usually one of the hardest things to recommend mainly because of the time that it goes into it. Also skincare is determined by what solution you are looking for. This may be to hydrate the skin, improve skin texture or evening skin tone. My skin type is combination so I have to switch up my routine depending on the seasons.
I have also became a beauty ambassador for Boniik Beauty as of recent. They sell both Korean Skincare and Makeup. This I love because I can test them out in stores rather than purchasing it online.
They have an in house store located at:
Shop 42G Westfield Pitt Street Mall (Under Myer), Sydney NSW 2000.
Face Creams
This cream I use during summer or in the morning. It has a very light texture and keeps my oils are bay. The thing with skin that produces more oils is because there is lack of hydration so the skin will then overproduce. Using a hydrating cream helps combat this by hydrating within.
This cream I would use more during winter or when my skin is feeling a lot more dry than usual. It smells just like green tea and keeps my face moisturised. This cream is still recommended for combination skin. In their green tea range, they have others for oily and dry skin. The Innisfree one is a lot more moisturising than the Nature Republic cream.
Serums
This product was gifted by Boniik Beauty to test out, which I am currently loving. I really like the scent because it smells very sophisticated. Product wise, it actually sinks into the skin quite quickly. Since using it my face does feel a lot more brighter and even textured overall. As I do break out around from time to time, this serum helps out combating any pigmentation. This I use in the morning and for all seasons.
The Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum is one of their best sellers and I can tell why. For all you dry skin people, this actually helps hydrate your skin by providing the moisture you need. I use this during winter and can confirm it has actually helped with making my skin less dry. My skin feels a lot more plump in the morning when I apply this the night before.
Toner
Toners are great for bringing back the pH into your skin after cleansing. This toner also helps exfoliate my skin at the same time due to the AHA/BHA ingredient. In doing so, this sheds out my old skin cells. This helps with combating pigmentation as your skin does go through a life cycle of its own. Very much like a menstrual cycle.
Face Mists
I am not too big of a rose scent fan so opted purchasing the Mario Badescu spray in Aloe Cucumber and Green Tea. This feels very refreshing on the skin and be used as a toner as well. This face mist keeps my face hydrated without my skin overproducing any oils. I use this after my skin care has been complete for that extra moisture.
Treatments
I have been looking for something to combat pigmentation specifically and this product does it. If you have sensitive skin however, I would not recommend it as it does tingle due to the high concentration of vitamin C in the product. This does the job very well and can be used to target specific areas. Or even the face overall to improve skin tone. When using this, I would need to use sunscreen the next day so it is effective.
If you have blemishes on your skin, you will love using this. Not only does it minimise pores, it also helps with hyper pigmentation on your skin. I find the product very soothing to use. Usually I would add this to my creams to improve overall skin tone. I have been going back and forth with this product and the Klairs - Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop. The difference between the COSRX and Klairs is Klairs is more effective in evening out skin tone. Both products are still good.
Oils
I believe oils should be used irregardless if you have oily skin. Reason for this is they are very effective for adding extra moisture in which, helps combat any excess oil and sebum. This will make your face less oily as it makes up for the lack of hydration. This is my second bottle as it makes my skin look brighter the next morning and I've had enough sleep. The 30mL product actually lasts for quite a while as you only need a few drops.
Love using this because it keeps my lips very hydrated. Not only so, its very effective if your lips are dry or flaking. The Berry scent is a nice addition to it as it smells like berry flavoured candy. I will be repurchasing this but in a different scent. Since using this, my lips have dried out less. It is more effective than any other lip balms in the market.
Since hitting 20s, I thought I should invest in some eye creams. This is the first one I've tried and I do quite like it. It keeps my eyes quite hydrated and it is not heavy. Overall, it increases more elasticity so I look less tired the next day. I would say that using this product, I only saw results after one month of using it.
