This oil cleanser has become a staple in my routine. Its lightweight texture effortlessly melts away even the most stubborn waterproof makeup and sunscreen without leaving any greasy residue. It emulsifies beautifully with water, rinsing away cleanly and leaving my skin feeling soft and supple, not stripped or tight. The gentle formula is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

When I'm experiencing breakouts or my skin feels congested, I reach for this enzyme cleanser. The combination of enzymes and Vitamin C gently exfoliates, effectively removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores. The Vitamin C also helps to brighten my complexion, leaving it looking more radiant and even-toned. The slight lathering action feels refreshing without being overly drying.

For my everyday cleansing needs, I alternate between these two gentle foaming cleansers. Both are formulated for sensitive skin, providing a thorough cleanse without irritation. They effectively remove impurities and excess oil while maintaining the skin's natural moisture balance.

Serums are the powerhouse of my hydration routine. The Decorte Liposome Advanced Repair Serum is my holy grail. Its liposomal delivery system allows the potent ingredients to penetrate deep into the skin, providing long-lasting hydration and improving overall skin texture. I also enjoy using the Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate for an added boost of hydration and radiance. It strengthens the skin's barrier, protecting it from environmental aggressors.

I follow up with a hydrating lotion to further replenish moisture. The D Program Moist Care Lotion is lightweight yet incredibly moisturizing, absorbing quickly into the skin without leaving a sticky feeling. For an extra layer of hydration, I sometimes layer the Skin Harmonizer underneath. Its slightly thicker consistency provides a more intense moisturizing effect.

If my skin is feeling particularly dry, I incorporate a few drops of this facial oil before applying my moisturizer. It provides an extra layer of nourishment and helps to lock in moisture, leaving my skin feeling soft and smooth.

This rich and luxurious cream is my go-to moisturizer for nighttime. It provides intense hydration without feeling heavy or greasy. I wake up with soft, plump, and revitalized skin.

They provide ample hydration without interfering with makeup application. Both emulsions absorb quickly and leave my skin feeling smooth and refreshed.

This peptide serum helps to stimulate collagen production, improving skin elasticity and firmness. I use it regularly to maintain a youthful and bouncy complexion.

This overnight mask is a dream come true for dry skin. I apply it before bed and wake up with incredibly soft, hydrated, and plump skin.

For a deep cleanse, I alternate between these two masks. The Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask effectively draws out impurities and minimizes the appearance of pores, while the heimish All Clean Green Foam gently exfoliates and clarifies the skin.

Sheet masks are a quick and convenient way to deliver a concentrated dose of hydration and nutrients to the skin. The No.5 Vitamin Spotlight Sheet Mask Set provides a variety of vitamins to address different skin concerns, while the Wafood Made Sake Lees Face Pack brightens and softens the skin.

This CC cream provides light coverage, sun protection, and a subtle brightening effect. It's perfect for everyday wear and creates a flawless base for my makeup.

For days when I need more coverage, I use the Dior Forever Skin Correct Concealer to spot-conceal any blemishes or imperfections. I then apply the RevitalEssence Skin Glow Foundation for a natural, radiant finish.

This versatile puff is my go-to for applying foundation. It blends seamlessly and creates a smooth, even finish.

I define my brows using the Han All Brow Cara to shape and set the hairs in place. I then fill in any sparse areas with the Super Slim Eyebrow Pencil for a natural, defined look.

The Love Liner Liquid Eyeliner is my favorite for creating precise and long-lasting eyeliner looks. I also occasionally use the Drawing Double Eyelid Eyeliner to enhance my crease and create a more defined eye shape.

Removing mascara can be a tedious task, but the Kiss Me Heroine Make Speedy Mascara Remover makes it effortless. It gently dissolves even waterproof mascara without tugging or pulling on my lashes. For mascara, I'm currently loving the Majolica Majorca Lash Jelly Drop Premium for its volumizing and lengthening effect.

I use an eyelash serum to promote lash growth and strength. I alternate between the Grande Cosmetics GrandeLASH-MD Lash Enhancing Serum and a natural lash serum.

The Givenchy Prisme Libre Loose Powder sets my makeup beautifully, creating a smooth, airbrushed finish. I then use the Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray to lock everything in place and prevent my makeup from fading or creasing.

Throughout the day, I refresh my makeup with the Fix' Make-Up setting spray to maintain a fresh and flawless look.

The Essence In Hair Milk is a lightweight leave-in conditioner that keeps my hair soft, manageable, and frizz-free. I also use the Essence in Hair Mask once a week for a deep conditioning treatment.
