To say I’m obsessive about the routine and merchandise she gave me is an understatement. I’m noticing such a change in my pores and skin. However first, let’s dive deeper.
What’s Korean Skincare:
The entire idea of Korean skincare lies in respecting your pores and skin, taking excessive care of it, and utilizing merchandise and practices for the lengthy haul. It focuses on prevention and safety, which we’re all about. It’s true that Korean skincare can contain many steps (even 12) nevertheless it doesn’t should.

The ‘glass pores and skin’ look is all the fashion proper now and after seeing Jamie and following the routine she gave me, I’m right here to inform you my pores and skin is clearer, extra vibrant and positively trying glassy.
On this submit I need to break down Jamie’s actual directions and share all of the Korean skincare merchandise I’ve been utilizing.
My Korean Skincare Routine:
Double Cleanse:

(30 sec – 1min) Apply oil cleanser to dry face. Work oil throughout face. Use light round motions and deal with any areas of congestion or heavy make-up.
(30 sec) Slowly add water to emulsify the oil, it can flip right into a white milky consistency. Ensure to totally emulsify and eventually rinse clear
For those who’re new to double cleaning we’ve all of the detailed directions in this submit for you. Bear in mind to make use of your child wash cloths to maintain your pores and skin free from any gross reside or micro organism out of your regular physique towels.
Different cleaning oils/balms I like: Elemis & Residing Libations. Additionally, LOVE HOP Step 1.
Cleanse:
(30 sec – 1 min) Apply second cleanser to dried face, a few dime measurement. Unfold totally throughout face and neck. Add water to lather. Totally cleanse and rinse clear.
You are able to do this within the AM too, which I just lately received in bother for ‘not’ doing by Staci Christie. Extra on that right here.
For AM cleaning, rinse face with heat water or use a clear delicate face towel with heat water. Jamie makes use of clear pores and skin membership towels for this.
Exfoliate:
Le Mieux Good Renewal Pads. (PM solely) – Dump complete bottle into pad container. Let pads absorb exfoliant fully.
2-3 occasions every week after cleaning, swipe exfoliation pad all through face. These pads are very skinny so ensure you’re solely utilizing 1 at a time. I additionally love Dr. Dennis Gross peel pads.
Prep:
Melavita-C Toner (AM + PM)
Apply a beneficiant handful and press into face. Use as a lot as your pores and skin needs to soak up. Enable face to soak up till nearly fully dry, when pores and skin continues to be cheesy, apply serums.
Deal with:
Melavita -C (AM) / Energy PEP (PM)
Use 1 dropper full and apply to face and neck and décolletage. Enable face to soak up till nearly fully dry, when pores and skin is cheesy apply subsequent step.

Apply 2-3 fingers value for face/neck/decolletage. Reapply each 2-4 hours relying on solar publicity.
SPF: Klavuu
Whereas this does have some SPF it isn’t sufficient as a standalone SPF possibility. It is a pores and skin finisher or make-up primer. Use solely 1-1.5 pumps. Dab onto pores and skin and buff gently into pores and skin. It doesn’t absolutely cancel redness nevertheless it creates a extra rosy, even tone with it.
I wish to therapeutic massage my face with TSC Face Massager earlier than I apply SPF or make-up. And while you use Caffeinated SPF, which is sort of on a regular basis, you’ll be able to skip the make-up as a result of it provides you this good glowy tint.
