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.

Could you please drop your skin care routine please 🥺👀

Oh my gosh, I LOVE to talk about skincare. If I didn't go to law school, I wanted to be an esthetician. Let's goooooo

I definitely rotate my products, but i have a pretty solid AM/PM routine.

In the morning, I wash my face with the Rhonda Allison beta green tea cleanser and use the accompanying toner. I follow it with a serum, either a brightening or a hyaluronic acid (I like the plum hyaluronic acid plum serum from glow recipe, the Rhonda Allison mandelic rejuvenator, or the Sunday Riley good genes). Then a moisturizer with SPF.

I also use the Tatcha undereye firming/brightneing eye serum, because I get dark circles, and it has a bit of caffeine in it and VISIBLY brightens the area under my eye.

In the evening, I rotate my nighttime products. I believe in double-cleansing. I use a cleansing balm to remove my makeup (I swear by the papaya one from glow recipe, or the slaai makeup melting balm from Drunk Elephant).

Then I use a gentle foaming cleanser (the tatcha one with cleansing rice is good) with a vibrating cleansing device (i use the luna foreo mini 3) to really get in there and make sure I'm taking off all the makeup. I follow with a nighttime serum that boosts moisture, and I layer it with either a retinol (1-3 nights a week- I like the Rhonda Allison Synergy A), an overnight moisturizer (3 nights a week). And always, always a few dabs of undereye cream.

I started retinol and undereye creams when I was 21. It's not for everyone, but it's always better to start early. With retinol, be sparing and always test a product out on the inside of your wrist before putting on your face. If there's something I watn to try, I go to Sephora and get a free sample before buying a product (and then I usually start with a travel size to make sure my skin really likes it before dropping money.)

Once a week I do a "facial in a bottle" -- the drunk elephant babyfacial. Any more than once a week, and it'll roast your skin alive. But it's good to clear everything out, and follow with a facial oil.

Sometimes instead of the overnight moisturizer, I swap out for a moisturizing/lifting sheet mask (i like the ones from my local korean grocery store, and also you can find a big variety on amazon). I firmly believe in using jade rollers to help the product (whether it's the serum from a mask or your moisturizer) absorb into your skin.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE sheet masks (or masks of any kind, really).

On the go, I swear by cleansing makeup wipes and micellar water. The garnier or drunk elelphant micellar waters are amazing.

WOW THIS WAS WAY TOO MUCH INFORMATION. But do with it what you will. Go forth and glow, babe!

Unveiling the Magic of AHA and BHA in Skincare: A Comprehensive Guide

Introduction:

AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) and BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid) are two such ingredients that have gained widespread attention in the world of skincare products. These chemical exfoliants are now a must-have in many’s skincare regimens, which transform the appearance of the skin. We aim to cave into the mysterious world of AHA and BHA, expounding their distinct properties and the remarkable potential they hold for the skin.

Understanding AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid):

AHA, short for Alpha Hydroxy Acid, is derived from natural sources, for example, fruits, sugarcane and milk that are water-soluble acids renowned for their exfoliating prowess. Glycolic acid, lactic acid & citric acids are some commonly heard & used AHAs. Its mechanism promotes removal that involves dissolving the bonds between dead skin cells, which in turn reveals a more radiant complexion. This exfoliation process not only improves skin texture but also helps in reducing hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and uneven skin tone.

Benefits of AHA:

Exfoliation for Radiance:

As mentioned earlier, AHAs remove dead skin cells which means they have exfoliating action that leaves behind a refreshed, brighter complexion.

Fine Line Reduction:

AHA aids in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, fostering a smoother skin surface by encouraging cell turnover.

Hyperpigmentation:

AHA's ability to reduce hyperpigmentation and improve skin texture leads to a more radiant and even-toned complexion.

Understanding BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid):

BHA, short for Beta Hydroxy Acid, is found in fruits and vegetables which is a lipophilic acid that penetrates deeper into the skin as compared to AHA. In BHAs, the mechanism of action involves unclogging pores and reducing inflammation, making it an effective treatment for acne-prone skin. They also help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and uneven skin tone, revealing a smoother & radiant complexion.

Benefits of BHA:

Pore Cleansing:

BHAs effectively remove excess sebum & unclog congested skin allowing it to penetrate deep into pores. This makes it an ideal treatment for individuals with acne-prone skin.

Reduction of Blackheads and Whiteheads:

BHA's capability to penetrate deeper into the skin allows for further exfoliation that helps in removing dead skin cells and promoting cell development. This results in a more even skin tone and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Anti-Inflammatory Action:

BHAs also have anti-inflammatory properties that soothe redness and irritation that comes in hand with acne, contributing to a clearer complexion.

Choosing the Right Acid for Your Skin:

In opting for the most suitable acid for one's skin, it's essential to consider one's skin type and needs. Both AHA and BHA offer notable benefits, but they're more suited for different skin types. AHA is generally more suitable for dry or mature skin, as its exfoliating components help to promote cell development and address enterprises such as fine lines, dullness, and uneven skin tone.

Where to Find AHA:

AHA is generally set up in various skincare products, including cleaners, toners, serums, masks, and exfoliating pads. Look for skincare ingredients like glycolic acid that is derived from sugar cane, lactic acid that is deduced from milk, or citric acid that are deduced from citrus fruits to identify products containing AHA.

Ideal for:

AHA is best suited for individuals with dry or mature skin. Its exfoliating skincare ingredients which help promote cell development and address skin concerns such as fine lines, dullness and uneven skin tone.

Alternate AHA Options:

Lactic Acid: Lactic acid, characterized by its mildness, is an ideal AHA for sensitive skin types. Its gentle nature makes it an optimal choice for individualities with skin that's prone to vexation or perceptivity.

Mandelic Acid: Ideal for those with darker skin tones, mandelic acid offers exfoliation with a lower threat of skin vexation.

Where to Find BHA:

BHA, frequently found in salicylic acid, is extensively incorporated into cleaners, toners, spot treatments, and exfoliating results. Its oil solubility enables it to deeply penetrate pores, rendering it largely effective against papules, blackheads, and overall congestion.

Ideal for:

For individuals with oily or acne-prone skin, BHA is a game- changer. Its capability to unclog pores and reduce inflammation makes it a precious asset in the fight against acne. However, it's still important to note that BHA can be too harsh for sensitive or reactive skin, in which case indispensable options should be considered.

Alternate BHA Options:

Betaine Salicylate: A milder version of salicylic acid that's less likely to irritate. This makes it a suitable choice for individuals with sensitive skin.

Willow Bark Extract: It is a natural source of salicylic acid that offers a gentler exfoliation.

Choosing the Right Acid for Your Skin:

1. Dry or Mature Skin:

Ideal Choice: AHA (Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Mandelic Acid)

Why: AHAs have hydrating and exfoliating properties that are excellent for addressing fine lines, dullness and uneven skin tone.

2. Oily or Acne-Prone Skin:

Ideal Choice: BHA (Salicylic Acid, Betaine Salicylate)

Why: BHA's oil-soluble nature makes it effective in penetrating and cleansing pores. It is an excellent choice for those dealing with acne, blackheads and excessive oil production.

3. Combination Skin:

Ideal Choice: AHA/BHA Combination or Rotation

Why: Combination skin can benefit from a mix of both acids or a rotational approach. Use AHA to address dryness and uneven tone, while incorporating BHA for targeted pore cleansing.

Important Tip:

When incorporating alpha- hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta- hydroxy acids (BHAs) into one's skincare routine, it's pivotal to borrow a gradual and conservative approach.

Begin with lower concentrations and monitor the skin's response to ensure optimal forbearance and safety. This step is essential to help with any implicit irritation or adverse responses.

Likewise, it's imperative to prioritize sun protection when exercising exfoliating acids, as they can increase the skin's perceptivity to ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

By precisely opting for the appropriate concentration and formulation of AHAs or BHAs grounded on individual skin types, individuals can unleash the full eventuality of these transformative acids in promoting a radiant and balanced complexion.

Conclusion:

Tailoring these acids to your skin type becomes a personalized journey, a celebration of self-love. Always remember, it is not just about skincare, it's about choosing radiance & honoring the very essence of everyone’s life that is our skin! This journey is a daily affirmation of becoming the best version of yourself. Cheers to choosing the right ingredient for the skin that deserves nothing less!

was thinkin abt doin an updated skincare list..

my skin type: oily, mature, textured and sensitive / allergic. use to be very acne prone when i was younger but found out it was allergic or dermatitis from using products that werent compatible w my skin. im not someone who is always trying new stuff, when i find something that works i stick with it.

preferred water type: warm and soft/filtered

face wash: my OG HG cetaphil (the reg 1) even off brands of this seem to be good, the rexall one especially.

moisturizer: my OG HG is lush dream cream (this is advertised as a body cream, but i use it on my face) it is so hydrating and smells nice never disagrees with my skin. i have also been using lush celestial since the air is colder and my skin is dry, but only on the dry parts of my face... mouth area, between my brows, my crows feet and corners of nose, chin.

exfoliator: i just dont use these they are too hard on my skin, i used to dermaplane but as i get older i find peach fuzz to be a natural filter lol it just softens the lines on my face 🤷 as well my toner eats the dead skin off good enough imo.

serums: my OG HG is the ordinary niacinamide + zinc. i also enjoy the hyaluronic acid, matrixyl, and multipeptide serum as well as the mandelic acid. for awhile i was into the ole henriksen vitamin c serum but havent veen using vit c lately as my hyper pigmentation is mostly gone.

oils: MY OG HG is the ordinary sea buck thorn fruit oil. this basically healed my skin barrier completely and is an amazing product. i dont use it too much anymore as it did its job. now i use the lush full of grace naked skin oil bar and it is really nice, made with mushrooms n keeps my skin free or dry flaky patches.

toner: paula's choice salicylic acid glow toner, this is amazing!!! but i can only use it 1-2 times a week as my skin is very sensitive. and food grade rose water in 1 parts to water as a mist/spray.

face mask: my OG HG is the aztec secret indian healing clay mask mixed with braggs apple cider vinegar. i use this once a week- 2 weeks depending on how much/heavy my makeup has been. as well the Lush " beauty sleep" mask is a nice treat when i remember to get it.

deodorant: lush aromaco natural bar, this oddly enough had helped my skin breathe and be clear....anytime i use a commercial deodorant i get rashes on my face? idk but this has the best smell n i got ambrose hooked on it too lol.

lip balm: used to love the bite beauty lip mask but its hard to find now.... a lot of chapsticks really irritate the corners of my mouth :( but this knock off burts bees *beehive burst* is my favorite right atm, so creamy no irritation and really nice flavor/smell (using vanilla) otherwise my OG blistex DCT medicated (in the beige pot) is the best by far esp in winter. if u apply it on ur nose with a cold ur skin wont chap from blowing lol!

also: the biggest things i have noticed that have done my skin wonders have been * quitting smoking. * drinking water * taking allergy pills *using a humidifier gettin 8 hrs of sleep *using spf (after finally finding 1 that agreed with my skin. ) i am almost 40 so my skin is still changing and i plan on staying au natural (no filler or surgical enhancing) so no matter what i will age, the goal is to do it gracefully.
