so @thelaureno texted me to tell her in detail abt my nighttime skincare routine SO HERE ALL OF IT IS:

all of my products are here: http://listography.com/polaris/products/skin

0. oil cleansing - missha - 1min?
I don't always do this, but I haven't been washing my face at night at all for like a week and did it last night and all the weird grits came out of my face which was soooooo satisfying

1. gel cleanser - cosrx
this shit is the best, and the cheapest (which lauren knows can she bought it when I was in nola). 9$ for low pH slash perfect skin ok thx

2. toner - missha
idk missha was having a sale, I like cosrx aha bha spray toner. usually put this on a cotton round or just pat on my skin. last night my skin needed some extra tlc after all the grossness coming out of my skin so I used a nourishing wash-off mask and patted this on after.

also pat face dry - put on toner immediately - put on next moisturizing product immediately to not lose moisture

3. moisturizing serum x3 lol - hada labo, cosrx (snail), goodal
hada labo is hyaluronic acid (moisture retention), a nice gel that spreads easily, cosrx snail helps w moisture, brightening, healing, I'm running out of the goodal but it's fermented oil-serum that really brings the moisture and helps w unclogging pores. dime or quarter size of each (they're all pumps so 1 pump).

4. oil - deciem
I was using an antioxidant oil that smelled amazing but that ran out so I'm using rosehip. 3 drops, pat everywhere on face, pat excess on neck.

5. moisturizer - cosrx
MORE SNAIL it's great and goopy and has made a difference. I have dry skin and am wary of creams but during my driest days I need an occlusive whereas this is more of a humectant.

6. sleeping mask - amorepacific
yeah this stuff is $$$ my mom gave it to me lol. I also have the laneige which is great. locks in moisture, is product #2 that has ever given me ye fabled 'glow'.

7. eye cream - the body shop
I use a random night cream someone gave me and dot it in a circle around my eyes it's really nice I like doing this in the morning too. for squishy eyebags.

lip stuff - scrub w toothbrush or towel or w/e for a few seconds, glob on vaseline. nothing else works.

I like using exfoliants or wash-off masks in the morning, and sheet masks at night. I can't stand fiber sheet masks anymore tho, I prefer hydrogel. use those after toner or serum.

OK I THINK THATS ALL as you can see, it's v simple (I'm not joking I'm lazy but want to take good care of my skin so this is middle ground)
