1. Double Cleansing
At the end of a long day out and about, your skin is likely to have accumulated all sorts of dirt and impurities, including sebum buildup, makeup, sunscreen. Double cleansing is the 2-step process involving an oil cleanser and water-based cleanser that, as its name suggests, cleanses your skin twice to clear all of those nasties away.

When you’re ready for your nighttime skincare routine, start with the heimish All Clean Balm and spend a couple of minutes massaging it into your pores, emulsifying the balm into a milk for a deep, nourishing cleanse. Follow up with your water-based cleanser (these are typically gel and foam textures) to sweep away anything the cleansing balm may have missed.
2. Toner Layering
Toner is the crucial step that will set your skin up for success post-cleanse. Not only does it replenish skin hydration levels, but dampening the skin also allows successive skincare products to absorb into the skin better. Depending on what ingredients your toner contains, it can brighten skin tone, provide antioxidant protection, smooth out skin texture, amongst other functions.

The Haruharu WONDER Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner (Fragrance Free) does all that and more, which is why it’s such a favored pick. It can be used to carry out toner layering, a beauty secret also known as the Korean 7-skin method, that can drastically boost skin hydration, radiance and dewiness. To layer your toner, pat the first layer onto the skin with your hands, give it some time to sink in, then repeat until you’ve reached 7 layers. It’s better suited for the nighttime, whereas a simpler toner routine is sufficient for the day.
3. Instant Calm

A damaged skin barrier is the root cause for a variety of skin concerns, and strengthening the barrier is the main way to avoid further issues. The SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule can be applied at any time, AM or PM, to stop inflammation, redness, and sensitivity in its tracks. Simply dispense a pipette full of product and spread it across the skin, focusing on areas that require immediate relief.
4. No More Fine Lines

An eye serum like the BEAUTY OF JOSEON Revive Eye Serum : Ginseng + Retinal is not only useful for its intended purpose, but also for other areas of the face that show fine lines and wrinkles. It’s all down to the specific formulation of this eye serum’s namesake ingredients that create synergistic effects to smooth out texture, diminish darkness, and hydrate the skin. In the PM before your face moisturizer, dab a grain-sized amount under the eyes, on crow’s feet, or laugh lines, to combat the loss of elasticity and collagen that lead to the formation of such.
5. Sealing Everything In

Moisturizer seals all of your prior handiwork into the skin, giving your complexion a final boost of hydration. The star ingredient of the iUNIK Centella Calming Gel Cream is Centella Asiatica, a beloved ingredient that soothes irritation, eases redness, and protects skin from further damage. A soft gel cream, it’s suitable for both day and night use for all skin types. To up the skin-nourishing benefits, pair this cream with Panthenol; Cica and Panthenol go hand-in-hand to calm sensitivity and strengthen the skin barrier against external factors, resulting in glowing skin.
6. Essential SPF Protection

With a sunscreen stick like the Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Airy Sun Stick SPF50+ PA++++, it’s a good option to keep in your everyday bag. While small and compact enough to carry around without burden, it lets you apply your sunscreen if you’ve forgotten to go in with your daily fluid SPF, or reapply after spending time under sun exposure. It’s an especially effective form of sun protection for outdoor sports, as this Hyaluronic Acid-rich formula is matte and leaves a powdery finish (read: no stickiness).
7. Low-Effort Weekly Pampering

If you find your current skincare and boosters aren’t exactly achieving the results you want them to achieve, the Abib Rice Probiotics Overnight Mask Barrier Jelly is just what you need. It provides nutrients to the skin as you sleep, allowing you to wake up with a refreshed and refined complexion. You can start incorporating this sleeping mask into your routine by applying once a week to replace your moisturizer, but feel free to up your usage or even combine it with your moisturizer for more intense hydration, nourishment, and skin barrier care.
