My Korean Skincare Routine - Morning, Night and Extras

Today I suck less at having glowing, beautiful, hydrated skin!

Here is a peek into my morning and night skincare routine. I mentioned this before in my post on Korean Sheet Masks, I haven't always had the best skincare routine. I think the last 10 years I've used bar soap on my skin. Yeah, yeah, I know. No wonder I have such dry skin! Well, I got super obsessed with the idea of a Korean skincare routine. I really wanted to start taking better care of my skin. I've always had very nice skin. It's actually one part of my body I've always been proud of. But, I think I've taken it for granted. I've been using this routine for about 2 months and I am amazed at how supple, clear, and bright my skin looks and feels.

One happy change that I wasn't expecting, I'm sleeping better! I had no idea how not removing my makeup at night was effecting my sleep. Now the ritual of washing my face and going through these steps allows my brain to say "Okay, we're done for the day, yayyy!"

I did a ton of research on what products would work for my normal/dry skin. I suggest doing your own research especially if you have oily/combination skin to find the best products for you. The steps are still the same, cleanse, tone, essence, serum, moisturize, eye cream, SPF.

In my reading I noticed a few differences between how Korean women care for their skin. They tend to massage and pat and we tend to scrub more. I've been trying to keep that in mind when I apply products and cleanse.

This may seem totally intimidating, but I assure you that once you get in a routine it takes no time at all. I can promise you that you will be amazed at how much better your skin looks and feels.

Take a look at my Korean Skincare routine! Let me know if you would ever switch up your skincare routine too. What products have you tried and fallen in love with?

Sunday Shopping Obsession: Korean Sheet Masks

Today I suck less at taking care of my skin, but I frighten children.

This post is a little sneak peek at a massive post coming soon! I'll be detailing my newly founded Korean Skin Care routine. It's a doozy! Going from never taking my makeup off at night to a 10 step skin care routine day and night has been challenging. But, I'm already starting to see some remarkable results. Hello, gorgeous skin! "Oh, you want to card me for this glass of wine? Suuuuuure!

I've always wanted to be one of those girls with an ambiguous age. "She could be 25 or 45, who's to say?" Like this girl.

In an effort to overhaul my horrendous skin care routine, I became slightly obsessed with Korean sheet masks! They are easy to apply, target a wide variety of skin issues, and some of them are down right adorable. Faux-mustache mask! Panda Eyes! Yes, please.

Sure, you look utterly frightening when you wear these babies. But, at least your skin won't be alarming any children during the day now. My pores looked like they could start renting space on the moon.

Here is a little list of my fav sheet masks and ones that I'm really excited to try! Do you sheet mask? What are your favorite ones to use?

Medicine Mama's Sweet Bee Magic

Today I suck less at taking care of my skin.

A while back I wrote about my favorite natural teeth whitening product, My Magic Mud. I'm still very much obsessed with that product. I swear I can get beaming white teeth in one or two brushes.

Today, I wanted to share another magical beauty discovery. This one is for your skin. Medicine Mama's Apothecary Sweet Bee Magic, moisturizes and soothes your thirsty skin like no other cream I've tried. For me, it's quite thick for day time use. So, I use it as part of my night time routine. I find that I wake up with glowing, youthful skin. Happy to report that Mama's Bee Magic has minimized my pores too.

I have a horrible habit of not washing my face before I go to bed. I'm lazy, I'm tired, I'm an awful person. This year I'm really, really, really trying to break this habit. To make it easy, I bought some Simple makeup wipes and natural Beauty by Earth, rose water toner, I love this one!

My skin tends to fall on the dry side, but nightly use has really given me back that early 20's (okay, mid-20's) glow. I'm sure washing my face has helped with my overall appearance too.

Moral of this post? Wash your face before you go to bed! I actually sleep more soundly now too. And get yourself some Sweet Bee Magic!
Cheers to happy and healthy skin,
