Are you combination skin like me?
Before, I was not aware of what skin type I had because I had oily and dry skin as well. I am very irritated with my face; and sometimes I ashamed for it, that’s why I’ve started to search and look for skincare that will help my skin problem. And I find out that both dry and oily skin types are represented in combination skin, the T-zone is typically oily, while the cheekbones can be either normal or dry. This skin type can change with the seasons and for a number of reasons, including hormone fluctuations and stress.
So let me share you what products I use to resolve my skin problems and how to achieve my skin goals. I decided to choose Korean products because I always see this on my TikTok, Facebook reels, and Instagram, and we all know that Korean products is very popular nowadays. Additionally, while Koreans follow a 10-step skincare , I simply started with a basic skincare routine.
Since cleansing is the first step in any skincare routine, I start by looking for a cleanser. However, I actually use two cleanser methods: I use an oil-based product (like a cleansing balm or hydrophilic oil) called ANUA HEARTLEAF CLEANSING OIL because it contains mild ingredients and heartleaf extract. Using a water-based cleanser (such a foam or gel) like COSRX GOOD MORNING LOW PH CLEANSER, gently remove blackheads, makeup, and sebum without clogging pores. And according to Aparovich, oil-based cleansers help dissolve and remove oily impurities from the skin, like sunscreen, complexion makeup, and excess sebum. On the other hand, water-based cleansers help wash away oily residue that remains on the skin's surface after the oil-based cleansing step by removing water-soluble impurities like sweat, and dirt. This is very helpful for oily skin like me. But it won't be appropriate for everyone, though, as is frequently the case with skin care recommendations. Over-cleaning with harsh or drying cleansers can lead to irritation, dryness, and inflammation if you have sensitive or compromised skin barriers.
The second step is toner, I choose the COSRX AHA BHA TONER because this Toner is for mild exfoliation every day. This mild exfoliating toner, which has 0.1% AHA and BHA in it, removes accumulated dead surface skin cells and leaves your skin feeling smoother.It gentle care of your blackheads and whiteheads to prevent them from getting bigger and worse.It's gentle enough to use on a daily basis. The importance of toner in our skincare is it can eliminate any residue your cleanser may have left behind, including dust, cosmetics, bacteria, and pollution. My skin can be given an exceptionally thorough cleaning by using a toner. Skin protection is provided by it. After washing, toning my skin helps close pores and protect your complexion from outside stressor.
I am using Beauty of Joseon Propolis + Niacinamide Serum, this is the third step of my skincare. I included Serum because it’s targeting specific skin concerns, such as acne, dryness, clogged pores, dullness, dark spots and more. Especially the beauty of joseon it’s suitable to my skin concern that troubles with large pores and inflamed skin. Its follow by mosturizer, I use beauty of joseon dynasty cream beacause even after extended hours, my skin doesn't dry out also its firm texture, which delivers rich moisture and nourishment. This multipurpose cream contains niacinamide, squalane, ginseng water, and rice bran water to keep the oil and moisture balance, promote skin health, and provide moisture. And ultimately, applying sunscreen to my face is the most essential step in our skincare regimen. This is important, particularly if we're heading out. Round Lab is my go-to sunscreen as well. Not only is it well-liked in Korea, but I can honestly state that this is the best sunscreen I've ever used because it applies easily, doesn't leave a white cast, and isn't greasy. This sunscreens is suitable for all skin types even those with sensitive skin. After a month of practicing this simple skincare regimen, I noticed some improvement in my face; but, as they mentioned, I normally see the full effect after two to three months.
