I cannot tell you how often I get questions about my skincare routine. Truth is, I never really paid good attention and care to my skin until I turned 30. I’m still learning and trying different products once in a while because my skin is pretty sensitive and there are a lot more options now than before. In the short years I’ve started paying attention to my skin, I’ve already seen a dramatic difference and now have also convinced Allen to do the same for his skin as well! It isn’t anything special that I do, however I do use some amazing products that certainly help. Here is a quick rundown of my skincare routine since so many of you have asked about it. I don’t use all of the products together daily because I like to mix it up.
Embryolisse Lotion Micellaire No Rinse Make-Up Remover
This product is amazing! My dear friends Agnes and Jane gave it to me after their trip to Paris and now I use it daily to remove my eye makeup. I thought I could only find this in France but it’s on the DermStore! Make-Up removing wipes aren’t enough to take off all of your make-up and dirt on your face. Allen is an optometrist and examines eyes every day and he will tell you that he’s seen many women who have had inflammation, irritation and even infections in the eyes and makeup not properly cleaned off will make it worse. So you need to use make-up remover! This one I highly recommend as it not only cleanses but also tones your skin, leaving it feeling really smooth and refreshed after cleansing.
SkinCeuticals Cleanser Gel
I love SkinCeuticals and I recently started trying their cleansing gel and my face already feels the difference. My skin feels smoother in texture after cleansing and also strips my oils without leaving it feeling dry. Highly recommend this!
Son & Park’s Beauty Water
This one is from S. Korea. My dear friend Jene brought back one of these from her trip there and I’m totally hooked now! This was a big skincare product hit in Korea (2015 Soko Glam Beauty Award Winner!) I know many makeup artists that use this product to put on their clients before applying makeup. You can use this after washing your face as it’s a multi-tasking toner and cleansing water. It mildly exfoliates to help sweep away dead skin cells before you prep your skin for your next skin care steps.
SK-II Facial Treatment Essence
This product is amazing! It makes my skin look more “bouncy” and less red. I’ve been using this for YEARS and won’t stop. The product speaks for itself.
SK-II Facial Treatment Oil
This oil keeps my skin extra hydrated. It also repairs from UV Rays, pollution and extreme dehydration.
bareMinerals Skinlongevity Serum
I recently started using this and I’ve been really enjoying it and have added it to my daily skin routine. It evens out your skin and makes it look more radiant.
SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic
I use this once a week. This protects my skin from aging too quickly from UV Rays, improves wrinkles and gives my skin Vitamin C & E.
COSRX Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Cream
I recently recommended this on my Stories and so many of you bought it that they sold out on the DermStore! This product is something I highly recommend using as it leaves your face feeling SO moisturized even overnight.
3LAB “M” Cream
I love this cream! It’s pricey but honestly it’s been worth it to me because it keeps my skin hydrated all day and night long. If you are looking for a cream that will never let you down this is the one!
SK-II R.N.A. Power Eye Cream
This is another one that I’ve been using for years and totally recommend!
Juice Beauty Lifting Neck Cream
It’s never too early to start taking care of your neck area. I started using this recently and have also added it to my daily skincare routine.
Elta MD Skincare UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46
I use this daily right before I put on my makeup. If you are putting any product on your face a good SPF is a must have! It will help protect your skin from any harmful UV rays when you are outside.
Bio-Oil (for the pregnant ladies)
For those of you who are pregnant, I’ll add this one. Skincare doesn’t just mean the face! I used this oil all over my belly and bottom to avoid getting stretch marks and it has totally worked for me for both pregnancies. I highly recommend using this twice daily.

Wondering if you know any specific products that target dark spots? My vitamin c serum by Valjean labs works great for evening out my overall skin tones but I have really annoying dark acne spots. I’ve heard of Scarguard’s lightening serum but I’m too afraid to try bc of my sensitive skin. Hope you can help!
