Hiiii, this is the night version obviously. The difference between the morning and night isn't that vast so there may not be that much descriptions of why I use the products but everything on here are my most loved ones (hence why I use them).

(the links under the images are basically where the images came from)

NIGHT

step 1

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser

I've been using Cetaphil for 3 years now and this really does help make my skin smoother and clearer. This is quite expensive here in SG but the price is worth it. I use a facial cleansing brush with this so I get a deeper clean after a long day.

step 2

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil-Free Toner

For extra good measure, I use a toner to clean even more. Like I said, this preps the skin for the skincare products you're going to apply.

step 3

Innisfree Green Persimmon Pore Essence

Pat this into the skin (not rub!!) so the skin can absorb it better as well.

step 4

Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum

Same goes for this, pat the product in.

step 5

Innisfree White Tone Up Eye Serum

Since this goes on the eye area, use your ring finger to pat the product in gently. Don't rub or you can say hi to eye wrinkles :-)

step 6

The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil

This is the most important thing in my skincare routine that I'll always use and nothing can ever replace this. Honestly, without this, my skin would be full of those small spots and acne scars. I recommend this too, BUT do not apply too much or it can burn your skin. I target the troubled areas on my face, mostly T-zone, then apply the excess on the rest of my face so it's all well treated. Oh and this is not an oil even though the name says oil, just saying :-).

step 7

Innisfree Bija Trouble Spot Essence

I apply this on top of the Tea Tree Oil but only on the troubled areas, not my whole face.

step 8

The Body Shop Vitamin E Nourishing Night Cream

This does make my skin brighter and softer when I wake up in the morning but I have recently temporarily stopped using this because it may be the reason why I'm breaking out so much. Pat this onto the skin also.

step 9

Innisfree Whitening Pore Sleeping Pack

I have not been seeing any results from this but I'll still continue to use it just because :P. Again, pat this on.

step 10

Oxy 10

This is only for the bad pimples (sometimes). I apply a thick layer so when it dries, it can totally dry out the pimple/ BUT again, don't apply so so much or it can burn the skin as well.

EXTRA STEPS

step 3

Philosophy The Microdelivery Peel

I exfoliate twice a week (Wednesdays and Sundays) to properly remove all the dirt and dead skin that has built up over the few days that I don't exfoliate. My skin is so soft after this. Don't exfoliate too often or you'll strip the skin of essential moisture and dry the skin. You'll also irritate any pimples on your skin which can cause them to worsen and go away much slower.

step 4

Innisfree Super Volcanic Clay Mousse Mask

I use this whenever I exfoliate. I prefer this over the ones in the small pots because this applies easier and I feel that this removes dirt better. The results are noticeable because it makes your skin look clean the moment you wash it off (obviously). I've always wanted to say that sheet masks are not enough. You have to use masks like these to help remove dirt more.

step 5

yes, after serum.

Innisfree Sheet Masks

Generally, every sheet mask is good but there are others that rise above others. I personally prefer sheet masks that are Korean-made. I also use sheet masks when I exfoliate and apply the clay mask.

So that is it for my night skincare routine. It is long but like I said, all for good skin :-). I don't apply lip balm unless I exfoliate my lips because some lip balms actually dry out the lips more. Hope that's been a good read.

Until Next Time

Hiii, me again. I notice I only blog when I'm actually bored which kinda sucks because I want to update as often as possible but I have actually been extremely (wowow) busy with work (new me ;-)) & more. Okay, all that aside, I finally have this going up!!!!!!!!

First of all, sticking with this routine is time consuming and when you're feeling lazy (me 90% of the time), it's not the most ideal routine but this is all for good skin. To be honest, I have not been seeing results at all which sucks but I believe doing this now will help my skin look better as I age. (I don't know what I'm writing). Let's just start this. I also did not take any pictures on my own (I'M SO LAZY I'M SORRY) so excuse that. I have also separated the morning and night because if not, this post would be painfully long.

(the links under the images are basically where the images came from)

MORNING

step 1

Garnier Pure Active 3-in-1 Wash, Scrub & Mask

Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Cleansing Foam

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil-Free Cleanser

Above are 3 facial cleansers I rotate between every morning. I have some options as sometimes I prefer using a different product to clean my face. These days, I've been reaching towards the Garnier one more. Basically, the three products above have just been doing a great job in cleaning my face and stripping away excess oil. Products that do that (what I've just mentioned) generally make me feel more willing to do things because it just makes me feel good about my skin and how I look for the day and all, you know. My most favourite out of the three is definitely the Innisfree.

step 2

Nivea Refreshing Toner

Here is a summary of toners: deeper cleansing. Toner is like a prep for the skincare products you're going to apply after cleansing so they get absorbed into the skin better. This toner makes my skin feel like I splashed cooling water on my face everytime I apply it, which is fun honestly so I like it.

step 3

Innisfree Green Persimmon Pore Essence

Essence, essence, essence. I believe this is the one of the most important part of the whole skincare routine because it's just great, I don't really know how to explain :p I'm a newbie to this whole Korean skincare thing so all I know is that Essence is great :-).

step 4

Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum

Absolute favourite, the best of the best, can't live without this. This is Innisfree's best selling product and if you actually try this, you'll understand why. I don't know how I lived before using this product because this is honestly the best thing I've tried in my whole 15 years of life (which is not even that long). This makes my skin look brighter, totally helped make scarring happen less often & lighten older scars and it controlled my skin a lot. I recommend this, 10/10, should try.

step 5

Innisfree White Tone Up Eye Serum

Also amazing. This definitely helps lighten my dark circles and I end looking more human so I love this too.

step 6

Innisfee Bija Trouble Spot Essence

Also great help to my scars (I pick at my skin A LOT). Late 2015 and earlier this year, my face (nose especially) had a ton lot of scars because I literally picked at every tiny spot I could see. At first, I didn't really use & enjoy this product but now I'm loving it.

step 7

Pond's White Beauty Detox Cream

There are lots of this in a drawer somewhere and I'm thankful my parents got lots of this. I have the original version of this which is the normal one but I am currently using the Detox one because my skin is going through a tough time at the moment and I believe it needs all the help it can get to help clear it up so I use this, This definitely has been big help.

step 8

Innisfree Extreme UV Protection Gel Lotion 60

This is the most important so it comes last. Always apply sunblock even if the sun is not out because UV rays are always present during the day. Honestly, I hate sunblock, except chemical sunblock, because it makes my skin extra oily which is not cute but if good skin means having oily-looking skin then I have no choice :-). Even if it's not burning most of the time, I still prefer the highest SPF protection because that's just me.

After all that, I just apply my makeup like how I normally do it.

DONE. That's all for my Morning Korean Inspired Skincare Routine. It's a blog post so the whole thing sounds long but I promise it really isn't.

Until Next Time
