Korean Skincare Wishlist

Hello my dear ones,

These are the products I am most excited about at the moment but that may change as soon as I really set foot in Korea and see whatelse they might have 😀 I wanna try out a Korean skincare routine (you know, the one that has a zillion steps) so that means introducing products slowly so the skin can get used to it. I recently started to use a toner (my very first one at the age of 25; toners are just really not popular in Germany so I never felt the need to..I use the Muji Whitening Toning Water in Light which works pretty good for me.)

First thing I want to get my hands on is an oil cleanser because Koreans are crazy about it and I read that it seems to work overall very good for people who have breakouts so definitely try one; I am most interested in the Black Sugar Oil Cleanser from Skin Food (because I love this brand and it hasn’t let me down yet) or one from The Face Shop which I have heard very good things about. Next item to introduce would be a cream/moisturizer because I am running out of mine and just need a new one. I’d then like to try out serums that are SO famous in Korea and essences but that would be later after my skin adjusted to the new products, I am certainly not trying out 6 new things all at once (oh, the waiting will be so hard..)

As for the Mizon AHA toner & serum you see here; I read that these are really good against breakouts so if I can get my hands on those I will definitely try them out; however I’d like to first use up my Muji toner (I bought a small 50ml bottle) up (or maybe, I can use the Muji toner in the morning since it is so incredibly light & mattifying and the other one in the night because AHA & BHA’s are exfoliating PM use might be best.)

As you can see I am putting a lot of thought into this as of late and I am educating myself a lot about how to correctly clean/wash your face gently etc because my skin is still not calmed down (although at the moment, with all the moving stress/going to Korea that is no surprise.)

Do you use Korean skincare? Do you have favorites or maybe a favorite brand? If you have recommendations, especially for troubled skin, please let me kow 🙂

Take care & lots of love,

Sam
