Steps in a skincare routine (+ tips)
Here are the usual steps (more details below):
Cleansing (essential)
Toner
Exfoliant/Exfoliator
Essence and Serum
Moisturizer (essential)
Sunscreen (essential)
Important tips are at the bottom of the post. (This is an extremely lengthy post with more to come.)
There are no product recommendations in this post.
Def. Cleansing/Cleanser:
Cleansing is washing your face with face soap. There's a different type of soap for your face probably because the skin on your face is more sensitive to things. Some cleansers also have ingredients to help you combat your skin concerns.
There are two types of cleansers: oil cleansers and water-based cleansers. If you use an oil cleanser, make sure to use a water-based cleanser afterward to wash off any remaining dirt/oil on your face (also because after an oil cleanser, your face might still feel oily). If you aren't using an oil cleanser, you can just use the water-based cleanser by itself. People usually use oil cleansers and double cleanse to remove makeup properly or to remove excess oil if you're skin is more on the oily side.
[Def. Double cleansing is using an oil cleanser and a water-based and a water-based cleanser as explained above.]
+ Gently rub in the cleanser for ~1 minute before rinsing it off so it can have its full effect. (1 minute for each cleanser.)
Def. Toner:
Toners are used as the final cleansing step (is what the internet says). They hydrate your face too. To be honest, i would just use a toner as an essence (step 4). Toners are optional and I do not do this step myself (if you want to use a toner just to cleanse your face, i honestly find it unnecessary).
Most people use it by pouring some of the product onto a cotton pad and swiping all over the face with it. Personally, i find it wasteful so i would recommend this instead:
+ Pour a bit of the toner into the palm of your hand and gently rub your two hands together to spread the product all over your hands and then tap the product onto your face.
The above tip applies to more watery toners. The application depends on the viscosity of the toner and the way it comes out of its container.
+ If it's in a spray bottle, just spray it onto your face and tap it in with your hands to make sure the product is spread all over your face.
+ If the toner is thicker and won't drip everywhere like water, just apply a few drops on your face and spread it with your hands. This could also work if the toner is in a bottle with an eyedropper. (For example, the bottles used for many of The Ordinary's products - not for their toner though.)
Def. Exfoliant/Exfoliator/Exfoliating/AHA/BHA:
Exfoliant or exfoliator - it's the same thing, they are synonyms.
Exfoliators help remove dead skin and dirt. The main reasons why you might want to use exfoliator: acne, changes in the color of your skin (like hyperpigmentation).
There are two categories: AHA (alpha hydroxy acids) and BHA (beta hydroxy acids). AHA seems to be better for skin color changes (hyperpigmentation) and BHA seems to be better for acne because of its antibacterial properties. (As a rule of thumb,)DO NOT USE BHA/AHA AND BHA/AHA AT THE SAME TIME. (You can use some at the same time depending on the situation. Look up what ingredients can't be mixed with the one you're inquiring about.) Here's an excerpt from my salicylic acid post about it:
"It should be fine if you use salicylic acid (BHA) for example in the morning and then use other BHAs or AHAs products at night because you washed your face before using the products, but i personally wouldn’t take the risk."
Some examples of AHAs:
Glycolic acid
Lactic acid
Mandelic acid
Some examples of BHAs:
Salicylic acid
Benzoyl peroxide
If you are unsure if your ingredient is a BHA or an AHA, just look it up. (Like "Is x BHA or AHA".) If an ingredient has "acid" in its name, it does not automatically mean it is a BHA or an AHA (as you'll see in the next step). Ingredients that have similar effects as BHAs or AHAs aren't all necessarily BHAs or AHAs, so you can use them together with BHAs or AHAs (ex. niacinamide, alpha arbutin, vitamin C).
+ The way you apply exfoliators may vary depending on the type. Look at the instructions on your bottle to proceed accordingly or you could end up overusing the product and damaging your skin.
+ For harsher exfoliants like salicylic acid (BHA), i prefer to do spot treatment. I would put a drop or a small amount of the product and apply it to the concerned areas. As a general rule of thumb, i would suggest doing spot treatment for exfoliants (especially BHAs).
+ Some exfoliants make your skin more sensitive to UV rays from the sun so make sure to apply sunscreen during the day (it also helps with the effectiveness of the exfoliant).
Scrubs are also a type of exfoliant, but i will not be talking about them since i have never used them on my face. Maybe i'll research it another time.
[Def. Scrubs (for your skin, not what health workers wear) are exfoliators with granules that you wash off like cleansers.]
Def. Essence and Serum
Essences and serums have the same effect: hydration and/or moisturization.
[Def. Hydration: Hydrating ingredients attracts water to the outermost layer of the skin. (Even if you use a bunch of hydrating serums and essences, drinking lots of water every day will help a lot with skin hydration (go drink water right now). You should be drinking 2L of water every day (i don't but do as i say, not as i do).)]
[Def. Moisturization: Moisturizing ingredients act as lubricants and lock in moisture and hydration. This is why we call cream/lotion* 'moisturizer'. Products advertised as 'moisturizing' often have moisturizing and hydrating properties.]
*The term 'lotion' on Japanese products refers to serums or essences, not moisturizers. It could also refer to lube but we're talking about skincare here.
To my understanding, the difference between serums and essences is their viscosity/thickness. Essences are less viscous/thinner and serums are more viscous/thicker. More on the order of application at the bottom in the tips.
+ If the product is watery, you can rub it in your hands before tapping it into your face.
+ If it is thicker, you can just put a few drops on your face directly and spread it.
Honestly, you can also put it in your hand first if you prefer doing it that way. I just prefer putting it on my face directly if the packaging allows me to do so because i want to use the least amount of product possible with it still being able to cover my whole face. (I usually use two drops. Tips about this are at the bottom.)
Def. Moisturizer:
Moisturizers are creams or lotions. As mentioned above, moisturizers are used to lock in hydration and moisture. Some moisturizers are thicker/heavier and some are lighter/thinner. It depends on your skin type and your preference.
If you have dryer skin, i would suggest thicker moisturizers because they feel more moisturizing and like they keep the moisture in better.
If you have oilier skin (oiI), i would suggest lighter moisturizers so they feel less heavy because if it's thicker, it might feel like another uncomfortable layer of oil on your face.
If you have combination skin, it is better to use a lighter moisturizer on oilier areas and a thicker moisturizer on dryer/not oily areas.
This is just my opinion on the texture of moisturizers.
Def. Sunscreen
Sunscreens are also a crucial step in your routine. It protects your skin from sun damage - preventing sun spots and slowing down skin aging. UV rays can also worsen your hyperpigmentation - sunscreen can prevent that. Some products also work better with sun protection as mentioned in the exfoliant step.
Higher SPF levels mean that the sun protection lasts longer.
[Def. SPF is Sun Protection Factor.]
The highest is SPF 100, but you can just use SPF 50 (sometimes there are +++ besides the 50, meaning it is more than SPF 50 duh). SPF 100 sunscreens aren't easily accessible because the FDA (Food & Drug Administration of the US) deems some of the UVB filters (ingredients) generally not regarded as safe or effective. There isn't much difference between the two anyways;
SPF 100 blocks 99% of UVB rays
SPF 50 blocks 98% of UVB rays
SPF 30 blocks 97% of UVB rays
SPF 15 blocks 93% of UVB rays
Most Asian sunscreens have SPF 50+, so i recommend looking at stores or websites that carry Asian beauty products for them. I also prefer using them because they are way less expensive than ones from Western brands and have a better texture than the Western drugstore sunscreens for a similar price. You also have more choices to fit your skin type better.
[Def. UV stands for ultraviolet (rays). They come from the sun.]
[Def. UVA stands for Ultraviolet A. It's a type of UV ray that has a longer wavelength and is associated with skin aging. UVA rays make up 95% of the UV rays that reach the ground - that reach your exposed skin.]
[Def. UVB stands for Ultraviolet B. It's a type of UV ray that has a shorter wavelength and is associated with skin burning. UVB rays make up 5% of the UV rays that reach the ground - that reach your exposed skin.]
The SPF number also tells you the amount the time it protects you before you need to reapply. For example, if your skin burns in 1 minute, SPF 50 can protect you for 50 minutes (this is just an example, i don't think most of us get sunburned in one minute).
The more melanin you have (what provides pigmentation to your hair, eyes, and skin), the more ultraviolet protection you have - the longer your skin doesn't burn without sunscreen. That is why people with light eyes, hair, and skin get sunburnt more easily and people with darker hair, eyes, and skin get sunburnt less easily.
Reapplication time: every 2 hours (every time you get out of the water if you're swimming outdoors).
Sunscreens can come in cream, stick, and powder form. The latter two are better used as reapplication though. Even with the label indicating SPF 50, sun sticks and powder don't have the full SPF 50 protection in one layer. You need to apply an uncomfortable amount of layers of the product to get to SPF 50. At that point, i would just wash my hands and apply the regular sunscreen.
[Def. PA stands for Protection Grade of UVA. These ratings measure a product's ability to block UVA rays. You can find PA ratings on sunscreens, makeup, and skincare products. The number of '+' beside 'PA' indicates the amount of UVA protection;
PA+ | Some UVA protection
PA++ | Moderate UVA protection
PA+++ | High UVA protection
PA++++ | Extremely high UVA protection.]
Basically, if you're looking to prevent sunburns, look for a high SPF (50). If you're looking to slow down skin aging, look for a high PA (++++). You can easily find these ratings on Asian sunscreens.
Important tips (these aren't suggestions unless i say so):
Make sure to wash your hands properly with soap for 20 seconds, making sure to clean your nails and your finger slits before applying anything to your face. Even before cleansing. Maybe you're breaking out because you're touching your hands with filthy musty hands.
[Def. Breaking out in pimples] Am i overdoing the definitions...?
Do patch tests. You never know if your skin would react badly to a certain ingredient. For a more accurate result, you should do the patch test on your face. Patch testing is crucial for people with sensitive skin.
[Def. A patch test is pretty self-explanatory; testing on a patch of skin (not your whole face).]
Order of application of your products: the essential steps are in the order i wrote at the beginning of this post (cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen). All the other steps are sandwiched between the cleanser and the moisturizer. If you aren't sure of the order of your exfoliators and/or of your serums and essence, just go from thin to thick - lower viscosity to higher viscosity. This is the reason why the steps in a skincare routine are as they are. Toners are generally thinner than exfoliators, exfoliators are generally thinner than serums, and essences are generally thinner than serums. If you noticed, this means you can use essences before exfoliators. That is why i said i would use toners as essences since they are essentially the same in texture and use (in my opinion). Regarding these middle steps, i do not think it is necessary to follow the toner, exfoliator, essence, serum order.
Using a little product for a big surface: the trick is to dot your product in every area of your face before spreading it. If you just put your product in one area of your face and spread it from there, the first areas will already absorb most of the product before it reaches the rest of your face.
I first put 2 drops of the serum/essence on my finger or my face (it depends on the packaging - whatever's easier) and then tap it around my face with one finger: two dots of product (still from the same 2 drops) on each of my cheeks, one or two on my forehead, and one on my chin. Then i spread it and tap the product in, making sure my whole face is covered. (This can go for any other product that you use all over your face.) Obviously you can need more or less to cover your face because we don't all have the same face size, so adjust as needed.
Rubbing or tapping? Should you rub in your product or tap it in? I tap it in. I mentioned above that i spread the product before tapping it in, but you can also tap it in without doing that. I just find it more time efficient to spread it first. When i say spreading, i don't mean it as rubbing. I spread the product lightly with my finger without tugging at my skin, letting my finger slide across my face with the product. I don't do this with all products (like a thick moisturizer), but most of the time i do.
If you're afraid of wrinkles, i suggest tapping in your product like i explained above. I just prefer tapping because it feel nicer and fancier. Also because i'm Asian like Cho Chang from Harry Potter (what a meaningful and beautiful name - J.K. Rowling is truly great at being a bigot).
I will add more tips if i think of more.

Best Skin Care For Acne and Pigmented Skin – Lukewarm Glycolic Solution
A skincare product called Lukewarm Glycolic Solution has been quite well-liked in recent months. It has been marketed as the all-in-one treatment for acne scars and pigmented skin. In this essay, we will discuss how this product may help you obtain perfect, pigmented-free skin.
Let's first examine the root causes of pigmentation and acne marks. The pigment that gives our skin its colour, melanin, overproduces, which results in pigmentation. Several factors, including sun exposure, hormonal changes, and the use of certain drugs, can cause this. On the other hand, acne marks are brought on by skin irritation, which, if left untreated, can result in scarring.
An example of an alpha-hydroxy acid is glycolic acid, which is present in the Lukewarm Glycolic Solution (AHA). The removal of dead skin cells and stimulation of cell turnover are two ways that AHAs are recognised for exfoliating the skin. This facilitates pore cleaning, wrinkle and fine line reduction, and skin texture improvement. Due to its capacity to thoroughly enter the skin and stimulate collagen synthesis, glycolic acid in particular is a preferred option for treating pigmentation and acne marks.

Why Dermaplaning Tools Outshine Face Scrubbers in Skincare
In the ever-evolving world of skincare, finding the perfect tool to enhance your beauty routine can be a daunting task. Two popular contenders, dermaplaning tools and face scrubbers, vie for a coveted spot in our skincare arsenal. While both promise smoother, radiant skin, there's a clear winner when it comes to achieving that coveted glow. Join us as we unravel the reasons why dermaplaning tools reign supreme over face scrubbers in the pursuit of flawless skin.
Precision in Exfoliation
Dermaplaning tools, characterized by a sharp blade designed to remove dead skin cells and fine facial hair, offer unparalleled precision in exfoliation. Unlike face scrubbers, which rely on abrasive particles to slough off dead skin, dermaplaning provides a more controlled and targeted approach. This precision allows for the removal of even the tiniest imperfections, leaving your skin smoother and more even-toned.
Hair Removal Benefits
One of the standout features of dermaplaning tools is their ability to effectively remove vellus hair, commonly known as peach fuzz. Face scrubbers, on the other hand, may not address this aspect of skincare. By eliminating fine facial hair, dermaplaning not only contributes to a smoother complexion but also enhances the absorption of skincare products, allowing them to penetrate the skin more effectively.
Smoother Makeup Application
Dermaplaning is a secret weapon for makeup enthusiasts. By ridding the face of dead skin cells and peach fuzz, makeup glides on seamlessly, creating a flawless canvas. Face scrubbers may not offer the same level of precision, potentially leaving behind uneven texture and hindering the smooth application of makeup.
Minimal Irritation
Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliation method that minimizes irritation, making it suitable for individuals with sensitive skin. Face scrubbers, which often rely on abrasive materials, can be harsh and exacerbate sensitivity, leading to redness and discomfort. Dermaplaning tools provide a gentler alternative without compromising on efficacy.
Stimulates Collagen Production
Dermaplaning not only exfoliates the skin but also stimulates collagen production. This essential protein promotes skin elasticity and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Face scrubbers, while effective in removing dead skin cells, may not offer the same collagen-boosting benefits as dermaplaning.
Conclusion
In the debate between dermaplaning tools and face scrubbers, the former emerges as the clear victor for those seeking a radiant and flawless complexion. The precision in exfoliation, the added benefit of hair removal, smoother makeup application, minimal irritation, and collagen-stimulating properties make dermaplaning an indispensable tool in the skincare routine. As we navigate the vast landscape of beauty products, choosing the right tool can make all the difference, and dermaplaning tools prove to be a cut above the rest.
