Your routine for the warmer months

We love to adjust our skincare routine according to the weather. In summer we opt for thin, hydrating and non-sticky formulas. That’s why we want to introduce you to our ideal routine for those hot days where you want to feel like there is nothing on your skin.

AM

Geek & Gorgeous Jelly Joker | JOIN skincare

In the morning we prefer to wash our face with water. However, after a hot night nothing beats cleansing your skin with a refreshing cleanser. That’s when we turn to the Geek & Gorgeous Jelly Joker. This is a hydrating, calming and most of all very gentle gel cleanser. 

 

 

 

COSRX Green Tea Aqua Soothing Gel Cream | JOIN skincare

After our cleanse, we use a light moisturiser like the COSRX Hydrium Green Tea Aqua Soothing Gel Cream. This is a lightweight gel cream that truly feels like water on the skin, making it ideal to cool, hydrate and soothe redness. Of course, no morning routine is complete without sunscreen. The Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics is perfect when you want a lightweight sunscreen that absorbs fast and leaves a semi-glowy finish. However, some days we prefer to look a bit more matte. That’s when we choose the HYGGEE Vegan Sun Cream instead!

 

PM

Beauty of Joseon Radiance Cleansing Balm | JOIN skincare

At night, we love to double cleanse. First with an oil-based cleanser like the Beauty of Joseon Radiance Cleansing Balm. This will remove all of our make-up, sunscreen and accumulated dirt.

After that, we complete our cleanse with a gel cleanser like the Geek and Gorgeous Jelly Joker. Because of the double cleanse, our skin will have the great clean base for the rest of our routine.

 

 

Geek & Gorgeous Retinal A-Game 5 (0.05 % retinal) | JOIN skincare
At night, retinoids are our pick to prevent the first signs of aging. Our tried and true is the Geek and Gorgeous A-Game 5 retinal. What’s not to love about it? It’s affordable and very effective in preventing and treating fine lines and wrinkles. 

Lastly, we make sure to properly lock everything in with a medium-weight moisturizer like the Pyunkang Yul Moisture Cream. This has the right balance: it is moisturizing but without feeling suffocating. And it absorbs fast! Nobody likes a sticky face to their pillows when they’re ready for bed.
