With Korean skincare making 12-step routines chic -- and basic self-care becoming a must-have to maintain pandemic sanity -- it’s safe to say that comprehensive skincare routines have become a part of day-to-day life for many of us.
But sometimes we don’t have the time -- or the energy -- for a full-scale routine. If you need to take it down to basics, here’s a three-step routine of multi-tasking products that will tick all your skincare boxes.
1. Zen Out of Ten Exfoliant
Step one -- after cleansing, of course -- is a gentle yet effective exfoliant. A soothing physical exfoliant, Zen Out of Ten has:
- Bamboo powder, an ultra-fine microdermabrasion particle, is made with natural silica that’s known to help with collagen synthesis while providing anti-wrinkle and anti-acne benefits.
- Jojoba oil beads, natural oil beads that can both exfoliate and trick your body into thinking it’s producing enough sebum, thereby lowering your natural oiliness and protecting your skin against acne breakouts.
- Vitamin E, a multi-tasking and gentle antioxidant that can accelerate healing, moisturize, and provide anti-inflammatory benefits.
- Aloe vera, a powerful natural moisturizer that’s packed with nutrients to soothe irritation, heal cuts, and maintain balanced skin.
- Hibiscus fibers, known to exfoliate, hydrate, improve texture, treat dark spots, and prevent premature aging.
2. Daydreamer Soothing Moisturizer
Once your skin is exfoliated and packed with soothing and hydrating active ingredients, it’s time to restore your natural barrier and pack in calming ingredients like:
- More vitamin E for free radical protection
- Moisturizing hyaluronic acid for lasting hydration
- Geranium flower water, which can calm skin and soothe redness
- Cocoa seed butter to lock in moisture
3. High Society Botanical Face Oil
Finally, you want to lock the last two steps in with a biomimetic botanical oil like High Society. It’s packed with oils that will restore radiance without clogging pores, including:
- Marula oil
- Jojoba oil
- Grapeseed oil
- Vitamin E
