My 5-step anti-aging routine is inspired by K-beauty but doesn’t break the bank – I never spend more than $100 a year
A SKINCARE fan has given their routine for turning back the clock on their complexion.
They said that their anti-aging regimen was inspired by Korean beauty trends.
Redditor Sleeping-beauty-89 gave their steps to success in a comment on the social media platform.
With easily accessible products, their regimen clearly won’t break the bank.
They said that they don’t exceed spending $100 on skincare in one year.
“I adopt a simplified version of K-beauty skincare steps,” they wrote.
HOW IT’S DONE
First, they said they make sure to cleanse the face thoroughly.
They specified that they double cleanse, first using an oil-based cleanser followed by a water-based cleanser.
Double cleansing is a Korean beauty method for removing stubborn makeup and keeping the complexion as pristine as possible.
Next, they tne the skin using an essence.
They use the Neogen Essence, sold for $38 on their website.
For their third step, they use a serum, alternating between a few different types.
One contender is The Ordinary’s Multi-Peptide + HA Serum, formerly known as the “Buffet,” $19.90.
Another is The Ordinary’s Granactive Retinoid Emulsion 2%, which is sold for $12.10.
The also mentioned the Hada Labo Premium HA Serum, $12.82, Amazon.
For an all-over face lotion, they use the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion, $33, Sephora.
The skincare fan doesn’t skimp on the eyes, using the $28 Advanced Snail Peptide Eye Cream from Cosrx.
They also finish off their routine with a mask for added hydration.
“Sheet mask once a week,” they said.
“Of course sunscreen. I recommend Stylevana for K-beauty items.”
The Korean skincare fan added their method for staying under budget.
“My annual budget for skincare is [around] $100. I stock up when there are sales,” they said.
