Review: COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
Tumblr media
The snail mucin skincare trend seems to have made a return recently thanks to tiktok. I’m not on tiktok a lot myself, but it seems like many are discovering the great benefits of snail through the COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence.
Why did it take me so long to try this out as a K-beauty fan? Is it really worth all the hype?
Read my full experience in my latest blog post: https://kbeautynotes.com/review-cosrx-advanced-snail-96-mucin-power-essence/
Have you tried this? How did it work for you?

COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
I mainly got it for its hydration and rumored effects to treat hyperpigmentation but i was fooled!!!!!
It does nothing for hyperpigmentation lol. From what i remember, studies show that there is little to no effect on hyperpigmentation with snail mucin.
The hydration was okay, I used it when i had inflamed and dry eyelids. I think other products would have done better jobs. I finished the whole bottle months ago but i do not plan on purchasing it again. Honestly, i think COSRX is too pricey; you can find cheaper options elsewhere. Apparently, their cleanser is nice, but i haven't tried it yet.
Currently, i am using the Hada Labo Gokujyun Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Milk (the white bottle - not the brightening one). It contains 4 types of hyaluronic acids and i prefer it over the COSRX snail mucin.
Price comparison in Canada (CAD):
COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence | ~25$ / 100mL
Hada Labo Gokujyun Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Milk | ~20$ / 140mL

COSRX Snail Mucin Essence
Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
Retails at SGD28.90 in Watsons for 100ml
Tumblr media
A light-weight essence that absorbs quickly for the natural glowy skin which is all the hype these daus. Made from nutritious, filtered snail mucin this product leaves skin feeling moisturised and brightens up complexion.
Benefits include fading of hyperpigmentation, improved skin texture, anti-aging and intense hydration. Mainly targets dull/rough skin, dehydrated, sensitive/damaged skin as well as acne scars.
To use, simply apply a small dolop over your face after cleansing and toner step. Pat in with circular motions for better absorption and then you can continue with other moisturisers (see Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum).
I use it as part of my night routine. It is able to quickly soothe any irritation on my skin when I am breaking out and the glowing is indeed observable on the skin. Easily the best purchase so far! Even better that it is cruelty free. I definitely need to stock up on more of these.
Tumblr media
It doesn’t clog my pores too.

cosrx advanced snail radiance dual essence.
this is an upgraded version of their super popular advanced snail 96 mucin power essence, so i decided to try it since i do like the snail 96 mucin power essence very much.
the bottle is unique as the product is separated, half is the triple snail complex and the other half is the niacinamide serum. when you press the pump, half of the product would come from each side and get mixed together. it’s a really convenient packaging.
the essence itself has more of a serum texture, which is not completely liquid but a little gel like, it still applies easily, with some slimy texture which goes away when you spread it evenly across the face. definitely a really good product to use at the serum stage, or even after other watery serums. i like to use this when my skin needs hydration boost or when my skin looks tired or dull, as it does help to “save” the skin.
snail is a product that has proven to work well on my skin, so this is an extra boost with added niacinamide for skin brightening and better skin complexion overall. and you can use this day and night, it does glide on easily, it’s not very sticky so once you have put moisturizer on top, it would blend beautifully.
definitely would recommend this to anyone who love snail products or needs a gentle serum that would improve overall skin complexion, it’s definitely very hydrating with a lot of different benefits. the product is also reasonably priced and very easy to purchase online.

My *Updated Winter Skincare Routine + Some Tips 🎀
I have tried out some new products and have found some new personal favorite skincare items for the winter! I figured I’d update on my current morning and night skincare routines and add in some tips (based on things I’ve been doing that have been working for me). I am not a dermatologist or professional, these are sino,y my routines and what works for me!
🩷 Morning Skincare Routine
Wash my face with Cerave Hydrating Face Wash and cold water
Pat dry with a paper towel
Apply Jumiso Vitamin C Serum
Follow up with Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Cream
Use sunscreen, Beauty of Joseon Rice + Probiotics SPF 50
that’s my simple little morning routine! I love it so much more for than my super complicated routine because sometimes it’s nice to just get in and get my skincare done for the morning.
🩷 Night Skincare Routine
these two things stay the same every night, but the rest differs by night
Oil cleanse on dry skin with Anua Pore Control Cleansing Oil
Follow up with using the B.Lab Matcha Foam Hydrating Cleanser
Monday/Wednesday/Friday - Exfoliating
Use the Cosrx AHA/BHA Toner
Pat in the Cosrx Snail Mucin Essence
Use the Torriden Dive In Low Molecule Hyalorounic Serum
Next, I pat in the Beauty of Joseon Calming Serum
I use the Cerave Eye Repair Cream on my under eyes
Lastly, I use the Cosrx All In One Snail Cream
Tuesday/Thursday - Retinal Eye Cream Days
I use the Anua Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner
Next, I’ll use the Torriden Dive In Low Molecule Hyaluronic Serum
Then I’ll occasionally use the Skin 1004 Centella Asiática Ampoule serum
Then I Pat a bit of the Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Cream under my eyes
Lastly, I lock it all in with my Etude Soon Jung Hydro Barrier Cream
Saturday - Basic Day
I’ll use the I’m From Rice Toner on this day
Then I’ll use the Good Molecules Hyaluronic Acid Serum
Followed by either the Anua Peach Nicain Serum OR the Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum
I’ll Pat the Cerave Eye Repair Cream into the under eye area
Then I lock it all in with Etude Soon Jung Hydro Barrier Cream
Sunday - Full Self Care Day
Before double cleansing, I use the Beauty of Joseon Red Bean Face Mask (I love her)
Then I double cleanse
Then I’ll use the Anua Toner Pads
Then I use my Cosrx Snail Mucin Essence
Then I use either of my Hyaluronic Serums depending on how I feel
Then I’ll use the Axis Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum
Cerave Eye Cream of course
Then I use the Cosrx All In One Snail Cream
Every Night -
I pat a little Hyaluronic acid serum into my lips and seal it with Vaseline
a lot of products, yes, but I went crazy and bought a bunch of skincare and now I’m using it and my skin loves all of it honestly! My skin is not super sensitive so I use everything within reason in a way that won’t irritate it. For me, I know what works for my skin and what doesn’t, and that’s been the most helpful thing. Now, for some tips,
🩷 Skincare Tips
Apply vitamin C to dry skin! I’ve heard this helps with absorption and the way the serum works!
Pat face dry, do not rub! Rubbing irritates the skin and pulling on it aggressively like that isn’t good long term
Use clean paper towels! May be a bit wasteful but it’s a lot cleaner then using a face towel that you wash once a week
Apply Hyaluronic Acid to damp skin for better absorption!
Apply all serums to your clean fingers to pat into skin as dragging the droppers across your skin can collect bacteria and what not
Always use sunscreen! I myself sometimes forget or I skip it and that’s just not good for your skins health long term
drink your water!!! Hydrated skin starts from within, lovelies
Use products that work for your skin type! Avoid fragrances if you have sensitive skin, avoid snail mucin if you have a dust allergy, etc
Cold water in the morning to refresh your skin and wake you up
if I've washed my face + done my skincare the night before, I do not wash my face in the morning. I simply splash with cold water and do my morning routine.
learn your skin type! this will help you determine what products will be beneficial for your skin type and goals. My skin bounces between oily and dry depending on the weather, if I did skincare, if my pillowcases are clean, etc.
don't touch your face, at least not with dirty hands. always make sure your hands are clean before touching your face
don't pop acne! not only with this leave the chance of scarring, but it spreads the bacteria from one pimple to the rest of your face
brush your teeth before doing skincare. when you brush your teeth after, you may rub off the stuff you've applied or mix it in, which is not the best for your skin
those are all the tips I currently use in my everyday life regarding my skin! I hope this was useful!
til next time lovelies 🩷

~ My Skincare Routine ~
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
ANUA Heart Leaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil
Okay, I’m sure most of us having probably heard of this product once or twice right? Upon my first time using it gunk, blackheads, and whiteheads that I didn’t even know I had came up due to this product. Overall it’s made my skin really smooth and clear so much so that it literally looks like i’m wearing a real life filter when I look into the mirror!
CERAVE Foaming Facial Cleanser
An amazing product through and through, you can never go wrong with this cleanser tbh. I was using the ANUA heart leaf foaming cleanser but it literally broke me out so bad, I think it’s because of the fragrance so I had to switch back to this one and it’s cleared up all of the breakouts.
ANUA Heart Leaf 77% Toner Pads
Hydrates my skin SOO well I always use just 2 pads and let them sit on my cheeks for a bit before applying it to my face entire face and neck but they’re so calming especially after i’ve had them in the fridge.
ANUA Heart Leaf 77% Soothing Toner
I may as well be using the whole line at this point.. but this toner has been blowing up for so long I just decided I had to buy it and give it a try, and oh my god how this product cleared my breakouts so so quickly. Such a good product to use when your breaking out it truly does a really good time soothing it.
COSRX Snail Mucin 96% Power Essence
Yes i’m highly influenced I know! I’m so glad that I got this product, it’s like a holy grail for acne. This paired with the two toners is such a blessing, no seriously. This product aids in getting rid of bumps I had on my face especially on my forehead.
ANUA Peach 70% Niacinamide serum
My faveee I can talk about this product for soo long. I’ve tried many serums but none come close to this one it’s such a good product even my mom started using it. The scent is amazing it smells exactly like peaches, after immediately applying this serum onto my face it gives such a nice dewy glow and helps brighten my face! Makes me feel like such a princess. Last Anua product I promise.
Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Moisturizer
They were not lying when they said glow.. Using this product gives you an INSTANT glow to your skin and the scent is so dreamy and perfect. I have not been using this product long and honestly besides the glowiness it gives and the yummy scent there’s not really anything special about it. And why is it so expensive..
LA ROCHE-POSAY Melt-In Milk Sunscreen 60
Such a nice sunscreen, leaves no white cast, is glowy but not to a point where it just looks greasy. Only problem I have with it is the packaging, it kinda like explodes or leaks? I don’t know if it’s the actual product itself or maybe just a error on my end but it gets really annoying sometimes but overall a really good choice of sunscreen!
LANEIGE Berry Lip Sleeping Mask
Yes as I said highly influenced… I always use this after finishing my skincare routine before i’m about to go to bed. It leaves my lips really moisturized and soft and smells amazing! At first I thought it would be the same as any other lip mask but it’s such a unique and nice consistency that I haven’t seen before in a lip mask.

The “My GF is Stunningly Gorgeous” Makeup
When I’m painted by number 🥰
Time attempted: 02:35hr
Tools recommended: triangle makeup puff (for diffused, natural finish), angled powder brush, powder brush
Prebase:
I massaged COSRX Snail Mucin Essence into my face with my facial massage attachment on my new brush and heated facial massage tool, along with my cold cream and Clinique cream last night.
I moved the excess down my neck & décolleté. This morning, my face was still tacky from the essence so I didn’t rewash my face.
Base:
*I “warm up” everything on the back of my hand to avoid cakeyness.
First, I squeeze out the tiniest dot of L’Oréal True Match Lumi Glotion in Deep to be mixed in with my MAC Mattifine Primer because I’ll be using more of the tint in areas that require more coverage and sweat first, like my nose, temples, philtrum, around my nose and my outer face.
Squeeze out another dot of L’Oréal True Match Lumi Glotion in Deep with my ELF Power Grip where I need to glow and a tacky hold for under my eyes and eyelids. My eye area is especially important for my eye makeup selection, so I use a little more.
Lastly, use 2 dots of Lumi Glotion with either matte or dewy primer on your neck for the tint to stay cohesive.
Eyes
Apply 3 in 1 tint on eyes, or dust lids in your natural lid color. Corresponding shimmer or deep matte, then eyeliner in brown or black that corresponds with your skin tone.
Foundation.
I use 2 tiny scoops of Clinique Age Transformation Cream to create a natural finish, (I got it for free in a sampler, wouldn’t go out & buy it) along with a pump of Smith & Cult Microblurring foundation in 460 Warm (discontinued) on the back of my hand, then pat it heavily with my makeup puff.
**I now use IT Cosmetics CC+ Nude Glow Lightweight Foundation + Glow Serum in Deep in place of the S & C foundation + Clinique Cream.**
Pat lightly to not disturb my primer base from inner corner to outer face, then distribute it across my face, patting in more to dark spots.
My foundation still doesn’t cover the texture of the spots, but that’s fine, it’ll look unnatural if I went further.
The point of my foundation isn’t to cover my natural skin fully, but to disguise dark spots while allowing my natural skin to show through.
Concealer.
Keep in mind, I have an oval face. I use my Smith & Cult Cancelled V-Line concealer in 260 Warm (discontinued) to sculpt 2 faint lines from the side of my nose to under my eye & upwards. Pat in carefully & lightly as to not disturb foundation or base.
The effect is brightened eyes with a highlighted, slimmer face that’s enhanced with warmth & depth.
Contour.
Tumblr media
I use my Essence Baby Got Bronze cream bronzer in Mocha Me Crazy as contour for my nose, below top of cheekbones, and forehead. Blend into hairline and temples. I used to use it generally, but I found it doesn’t add angles to my face well, or if I did it well, it would disturb my facial harmony by looking gaunt & longer.
I follow up with my Black Radiance powder contour and sculptor in Medium to Dark.
Blush.
I use 2-4 rouges and blushes for a healthily flushed effect in layers, since my skin tone isn’t 1 color. I LOVE SHADING!!!!
I swirl 2 dots of LBCC Bloom of Roses Liquid Rouge at the highest point of my cheekbones, patting in with a makeup puff. It’s a pink that’s very faint, but you can go in with more layers.
My 2nd blush is LBCC Superior Rouge (limited edition, no longer sold) and I swirl 2-3 dots downwards mimicking the flush after exercise on my cheekbones.
My 3rd blush is Elf Putty Blush in Bali, and I sweep across where my cheek contour goes.
My 4th blush is Colourpop Serum Blush in Hibiscus (discontinued), and I barely squeeze out any product, patting in 1 dot above the ELF putty blush.
Pat lightly. Use Bare Minerals Original Veil Powder with powder brush, swirl on back of hand for even distribution, sweep across where I applied. Brush away excess.
Time for powder blush. I sweep the darkest shade in COVERGIRL Instant Cheekbones Contouring Blush in Peach Perfection only on top of my cheekbones.
Next, I go in with my PINKFLASH blush color 07 on top since it best represents my healthiest cheek color, and sweep downwards until I see it strike under my eye in natural lighting.
Highlight.
Since my PINKFLASH blush has shimmer in it, along with my contour highlight, I dust my Sephora highlighter palette (discontinued) in the pink, gold, and light gold shades.
Add in places where light strikes on eyelids.
Lips.
Hydrate with lip balm on Q tip, wipe excess. I use LBCC Bloom of Roses Liquid Rouge on my lips, cheeks & eyes since it’s a multipurpose product. Apply any clear lipgloss over.
If I want to wear lipstick, I’ll wear brown lip liner beforehand and blot in pink lipstick to allow my 2 toned lips to show through.
Maximize the pretty!! 💖💖

Winter skincare routine 🦋
I'm so, so excited about my winter skincare routine! I need a lot of moisturizing right now; it's freezing, and there is terribly dry air in this part of Europe. Luckily, the Korean/Japanese skincare has helped so much. I even achieved the 'glass skin' look for the first time, which I initially thought would be impossible on my dry and problematic skin. The only downside is that it takes so long, but I've learned to enjoy those moments, really take my time with gua sha massages, and just ruminate over my day.
Morning:
Innisfree Green Tea & Amino Acid Moisturizing Foam Cleanser
COSRX AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner
COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All in One Cream
Innisfree Jeju Cherry Blossom Jelly Cream
Followed by makeup routine & La Roche-Posay Anthelios SPF50 spray
Evening:
Shiseido WASO Shikulime Gel-to-Oil Cleanser
Sisley Eau Efficace Gentle Eye Makeup Remover Face and Eye
COSRX AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner
COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid (I've used this every evening for the last five years; nothing else has helped with my acne)
COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All in One Cream
Shiseido WASO Shikulime Mega Hydrating Moisturizer
Gua sha massages
Honestly, the Shiseido WASO doesn't get enough recognition; the line is so good!
I will give this routine a few more months to see if it has any blind spots, but so far, I'm very happy. And I can't praise the famous Innisfree jelly enough 🩵 I use the Estée Lauder Double Wear foundation, and it can be drying.
As I wrap up my skincare journey for the day, I'm reminded that taking care of my skin is like giving a little gift to myself every morning and evening. Here's to glowing skin and the joy of self-care! ✨

Girl help. My skin is sooo freaking dry right now. Like no matter how much lotion I put on my face, I still have dry patches pop up minutes later. My skin overall is dry, but the winter makes it worse. Any suggestions?
Girl don’t worry, I gotchu.
I vouch for these two products with my LIFE:
1. The cosrx snail mucin 92 all in one cream
Deal of the day: COSRX Snail Mucin 92% Moisturizer 3.52oz/ 100g, Daily Repair Face Gel Cream for Dry, Sensitive Skin, Not Tested on Animals, No Parabens, No Sulfates, No Phthalates, Korean Skincare https://a.co/d/h1bjIfG
I use this at night before my moisturizer. The consistency is (teehee) but I SWEAR it saves my skin in the winter.
The second product I recommend is the cosrx snail mucin essence — it’s gentle enough to use morning and night (before moisturizer both times)!
COSRX Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence 3.38 fl.oz 100ml, Hydrating Serum for Face with Snail Secretion Filtrate for Dull Skin & Fine Lines, Korean Skincare https://a.co/d/bm8hzgO
COSRX Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence 3.38 fl.oz 100ml, Hydrating Serum for Face with Snail Secretion Filtrate for Dull Skin & Fine Lines, Korean Skincare https://a.co/d/bm8hzgO
Finally, if you need a moisturizer, I do recommend the versed skin soak — a little pricier but GODDDD is it good. I use this at night!
Versed Skin Soak Rich Moisture Face Cream - Daily Facial Moisturizer with Squalane Oil, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin E + Red Algae - Smooth, Non-Greasy Night Cream for Aging, Dry Skin - Vegan (1.5 oz) https://a.co/d/9ICK5sZ

What's your skincare routine currently?
I actually spent the other week taking stock of how my current routine was working and deciding if I needed to change anything, so I have a lot to say on this
AM:
Wash face with water
(extra step for wintertime) Avène thermal water
Serum with antioxidants and niacinamide: just switched from facetheory Colloidal-C Anti-Redness Toner, which I got in hope of reducing redness (did nothing for me) back to facetheory’s Cera-C Pore Reducing Toner, which actually makes my skin look great. It has 5% niacinamide and a vitamin C derivative, which is what I want – I just would like extra perks (anti-redness). An alternative I’m considering is the Isntree Onion Newpair Gel cream.
(extra step if my skin is feeling very dry i.e. what I use during winter) hydrating serum: I’ve just finished Avène Hydrance Serum which I found very hydrating though too light weight (i.e. not good for winter for me) and honestly it lasted so little that I won’t buy it again. My go to instead is snail mucin: Mizon’s Snail Repair Ampoule (best formula but not so much product, what I’m currently using); or COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Essence (best bang for your buck, though my pump was really bad)
Alpha-arbutin: most recent addition to my skincare & it seems to be making a difference when it comes to discoloration (PIE). I’m using Beauty of Joseon Glow Deep Serum, mostly because this was the only product I could find here in Norway.
Caffeine for my undereye: I’m using The Inkey List Caffeine Eye Cream – while I can say it’s infinitely better than what The Ordinary offers (because why would you use a dropped for something that goes around the eyes!!), I can’t tell if I’m seeing results or not, despite using it for almost three months. Maybe?
Moisturizer: Eucerin 5% Urea Repair, my holy grail of all time. I buy this by the litre. Since I entered my mid-20s, my skin has turned dry. Combined with drier winters and the heating I have to put on to survive winter, this is the only thing that makes my skin stay intact.
Sunscreen: probably controversial, but I actually don’t wear sunscreen everyday, as the amount of light I get is ridiculous (though I do in the summer or if there is snow). Over the past year, I tried several ones and my top two choices are Beauty of Joseon Sun Relief (cannot fault a single thing and I found it to be good value for money based on how long it lasted me) and Isntree Onion Newpair Sunscreen (jury is out on whether the onion extract actually helps me, but I found the texture to be perfect for me and it actually ensures I apply a proper amount since it’s not too runny)
Dr.Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment: amazing!! This has been so far the only thing that helped with redness. I haven’t worn foundation in a year and it’s only because of this. I don’t even think it’s that expensive because I spent 30£ for a 50 ml jar which lasts me six months of daily use. Love it.
PM:
My routine is the following:
Double cleanse: I’ve been liking a lot the Beauty of Jonseon Cleansing Balm – so far the best cleansing product I’ve tried. Micellar water is a no for me, as I don’t like using cotton pads. Oils are mostly ok as an alternative, with iUnik Calendula Complete Cleansing Oil being my failsafe (but it doesn’t remove 100% of my mascara).   Next, I use a foaming cleansing gel. My go-to used to be Neutrogena Clear & Defend, but it keeps being sold out, so I’m now using  CeraVe Blemish Control Cleanser. It works fine. My main criteria here is price tbh.
facetheory Exaglow serum: the daily base, with tranexamic acid, liquorice root, and a vitamin c derivative, this in combination with whatever active follows has helped me reduce my hyperpigmentation so so much
An active (see below)
Moisturizer: Eucerin Urea repair, again.
Actives is when things get more complicated, because I rotate weekly between (combinations of) them
Differin (adapalene): game changer, I tolerate it very well and I recently increased it to three times per week  + Azelaic acid: I love it and over the years I tried so many different products (available in Europe). I find that for me 10% works just as well as 20%. Usually, a higher price tag gets you better texture (i.e. less grainy) but not better results. Isispharma Metroruboril was very smooth, but a more basic one works just fine for me – hence why I keep going back to The Ordinary’s 10% one. It’s not an area where I feel like I should be spending a lot.
Kojic acid: I’m using Dermaceutic’s Radiance, which works fine in combination with my overall routine. + Retinol: bit of a controversial combination, but because I’ve been using retinols for so long, this works fine. I’m using A313, which is v gentle. I bought it in Paris and it has a too thick texture in my opinion, so once I finished the tube I’ll go back to my fave L’Oreal Revitalift (amazing fragrance, great texture, very hydrating too)
An exfoliant: while some of my products have small percentages of lactic acid in it, so I never felt the need to have a dedicated exfoliating step up. However, I thought I could benefit from it and started using  facetheory’s Glycolacsal which has glycolic acid (8.5%), salicylic acid (1%) and lactic acid (0.5%).  I use it twice a week and it’s really good.
In addition to all of this, twice a week I do a face mask with benoxyl peroxide in the shower which helps tons to keep acne at bay BUT is infinitely better than using the cream, which has bleached all of my towels. The cream used to be a must in my routine but now that overall my acne is under control, I don’t need to use it as often.
This ended up being extremely long, but I love skincare and I feel like I learnt so much about my own skin and how to work with it and what products work in the past few years. I’m testing new things but in a calculated manner. And I don’t know. Skincare is nothing static and the whole process of figuring things out can be fun (and necessary).

Achieving a Radiant Complexion: A Simple Nighttime Skincare Regimen
In our fast-paced lives, it's easy to overlook the significance of a proper nighttime skincare routine. However, dedicating a few minutes before bedtime can make a world of difference in achieving healthy, glowing skin. Let's delve into a straightforward nighttime skincare routine that will leave you feeling pampered and your skin revitalized!
Tumblr media
Cleanse: The First Step to Radiance
The foundation of any effective skincare routine is cleansing. Before heading to bed, ensure your face is free from makeup, dirt, and pollutants that have accumulated throughout the day. Opt for a gentle cleanser suitable for your skin type. Gently massage it onto your face using circular motions, focusing on areas prone to oiliness or dryness. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water to preserve essential oils.

Exfoliate: Unveiling a Fresh Canvas
Exfoliation is essential but limit it to 2-3 times a week to avoid overdoing it. A gentle exfoliant will remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and enhance the absorption of your skincare products. Look for products with natural exfoliants like jojoba beads or alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs).
Recommendations:

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant - Exfoliator

Tone: Balancing the pH
After cleansing and exfoliating, toning comes into play. A toner helps balance the skin's pH levels and prepares it for better absorption of serums and moisturizers. Choose alcohol-free toners with soothing ingredients like rose water, chamomile, or witch hazel.
Recommendations:
PCA SKIN Nutrient Face Toner
THAYERS Alcohol-Free, Hydrating Lavender Witch Hazel Facial Toner
SOME BY MI AHA BHA PHA 30 Days Miracle Toner
Serum: Targeted Treatments
Serums are packed with potent ingredients that target specific skin concerns. Whether it's fine lines, hyperpigmentation, or dehydration, serums offer a concentrated boost of active ingredients. Gently apply a small amount to your face and neck, letting the serum work its magic overnight.
Recommendations:
COSRX Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence
Paula's Choice CLINICAL 1% Retinol Treatment
Derma ProGenix Advanced Anti-Aging Skin Care Serum
Eye Cream: Soothing and Refreshing
The delicate skin around the eyes requires special attention. Apply a nourishing eye cream to help reduce puffiness, dark circles, and fine lines. Use your ring finger to dab a pea-sized amount around the orbital bone gently.
Recommendations:
IMAGE Skincare, VITAL C Hydrating Eye Recovery Gel
Dongyu 5% Caffeine Eye Serum and Under Eye Roller Cream
QOI Dark Circle Eliminator
Hydrate: Locking in Moisture
Moisturizing is crucial to keep your skin hydrated and plump. Select a night cream or moisturizer that suits your skin type, whether it's gel-based for oily skin or thicker for dry skin. Massage it into your skin using upward strokes to promote better circulation.
Recommendations:
COSRX Snail Mucin 92% Moisturizer
Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance

Lip Care: Soft and Supple Lips
Don't forget to show your lips some love! Apply a nourishing lip balm or treatment to keep your lips soft and supple throughout the night.
Recommendation:

Overnight Mask or Face Oil: Nourishing and Repairing
For an extra boost of nourishment, consider using an overnight mask or face oil. These products provide intense hydration and repair your skin as you sleep, waking up to a fresh and revitalized complexion.
Hands and Feet: Extending Skincare Love
If you have a few extra minutes, pamper your hands and feet as well. Moisturize them with a rich cream and put on cotton gloves and socks before sleep, allowing the products to deeply penetrate and hydrate the skin.
Recommendations:
Paula's Choice Radiance Renewal Night Mask
LANEIGE Water Sleeping Mask
Beauty Sleep: The Ultimate Secret
Finally, the most essential part of any nighttime skincare routine is a good night's sleep. Aim for 7-9 hours of uninterrupted rest to give your skin and body the time they need to repair and rejuvenate.
Remember, Consistency is Key!
The true magic of any skincare routine lies in consistency. Don't expect overnight miracles; instead, practice this easy nighttime skincare routine regularly and patiently, and you'll soon notice a radiant and healthy complexion that makes the effort entirely worthwhile.
So, go ahead and treat yourself to a little nightly skincare ritual – your skin will thank you for it!
