Hi everyone.
It's Aileen.
Today I want to take you along with me
as I do my evening skincare routine.
There are about nine steps to my typical skincare routine.
I don't always use the same products.
Sometimes I switch out products here and there,
but the steps are generally the same.
After spending a long day wearing makeup, I can't wait to wash it off.
First thing,
I gotta put on my headband.
Get those bangs out of my face.
Whenever I wear makeup,
I like to oil cleanse first.
Here, I'm using MUN’s Akwi Purifying Cleanser.
It's just an oil-based cleanser to break down all of the makeup that's on my face,
especially the eyeliner and stuff.
And yes, I am aware that I have eyelash extensions
and you're not technically supposed to use oil-based cleansers because it takes off
the glue of your lash extensions.
I don't really care because I've had these extensions
for long enough.
Honestly, I just like using oil to remove my eyeliner because,
if I’m just using a cleanser, I feel like I'm scrubbing that area for a little too long
and I'd rather just break it down in the beginning.
Then I'll go in with a second cleanse, and this is one of my all-time favorite cleansers.
It's just one that I've used for years and years, and I always feel like I have to repurchase
it.
Just washing my face off, because oil cleansing is not enough.
I do feel like
you have to wash that oil off.
And the best feeling is having a clean, freshly-washed face
after wearing makeup for an entire day.
I just love having a bare face.
Next, I'm going in with a witch hazel toner.
I'm going to put this on a cotton pad.
And I kind of consider this my third cleanse.
I like having a cotton pad to just make sure
I've got everything off my face.
So it's like a toner and last layer of cleanser.
Next, I'm going to use this coconut water toner and I'm going to spray multiple layers
onto my face.
So this might take a while.
I'm not going to make you watch me spray
all these layers, so I'm just going to do it once on-screen.
But just so you know,
it just depends on the night.
Sometimes I feel like spraying more toner.
I'll do up to six or seven layers, and that's just really helped my skin drink in all that
moisture.
Next, I'm going in with this Missha Time Revolution Essence.
I love this, as you can tell.
I'm almost done with this bottle.
This essence is a dupe of the SK-II essence,
so I'm actually going to try that next after I'm done using this bottle.
But it's made out of fermented…something fermented that I know it helps you
rewind the aging of your skin.
I'll post a link below for more info, but here I'm doing
two layers of this essence because I just like to pack on the layers of moisture.
My skin is really dry so it really appreciates the extra layers.
After essence is serum, so right now I'm using this Leaders truffle oil serum.
And this is just one that I'm trying out.
I can't say there's anything particularly amazing
about the serum, so I'm basically just using the bottle until it's done.
Alright, now I'm gonna go in with this night cream by Nudu.
And I like using something heavier
at night, just to seal in all those layers of toner and essence.
This is kind of on the oily side,
but because my skin is so dry, I don't mind it.
I like that it's heavier and oilier.
Next, I'm gonna go in with some eye cream.
This one's by Cremorlab,
which is a Korean beauty brand.
And eye cream is something that I sometimes get lazy about.
But I realize it's super important as I get older because that's where your first wrinkles
start to form.
So I'll put on eye cream under my eyes, and then the crows feet area,
even on my eyelids.
And then, if I have any extras, I'll put them either on my forehead
or the smile lines, wrinkles, just to prevent those aging wrinkles.
Gotta rewind my skin.
Lastly, this is like my favorite product out of the bunch.
This is the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask,
and it's essentially like a really thick lip balm or lip mask that you put on before bed.
I love that it just seals in the moisture on my lips.
It's not like your normal chapstick or anything.
It really is amazing.
It's something I highly recommend.
I love Laneige.
They also have a sleeping mask that I usually use, but not tonight.
And there you have it.
That's my typical evening skincare routine with the products
that I'm using right now.
But like I mentioned, I always swap out products,
so it's constantly changing but the steps are always the same in that same order.
Alright, have a beautiful day or a beautiful evening.
Love you all so much.
Bye!
