If you’re searching for the best skincare routine to achieve clear, radiant, and hydrated skin, you’ve come to the right place! As a future dermal clinician, my passion lies in discovering effective skincare products and sharing the best solutions to keep your skin glowing, youthful, and protected. Skincare is not just a routine—it's self-care. With the right products, your skin can look its best every day.
In this article, I’m sharing my skincare routine for glowing skin, highlighting the key ingredients and explaining how each product works. From cleansers for sensitive skin to moisturizers for dry skin and sunscreens that offer ultimate protection, here’s my tried-and-true routine to help you achieve a clear and healthy complexion.
1. Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil by SKIN1004
A great night-time routine starts with a thorough cleanse, and for that, I use the Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil. This lightweight, oil-based cleanser is ideal for removing makeup, sunscreen, and impurities accumulated throughout the day. It dissolves excess oil and dirt without leaving a greasy residue, leaving your skin soft, clean, and prepped for your next skincare steps.
Here’s why:
Camellia Oil: a rich source of omega fatty acids and antioxidants that deeply nourishes the skin, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Argan Oil: known for its moisturizing properties, argan oil is rich in Vitamin E and essential fatty acids, which help restore the skin’s natural barrier and balance oil production.
Centella Asiatica: this superstar ingredient soothes irritation and boosts the skin’s hydration levels by encouraging hyaluronic acid production, leaving skin feeling fresh.
Sunflower Seed Oil: a lightweight, non-comedogenic oil that is rich in vitamins A, D, and E. It helps protect the skin from oxidative stress and environmental damage without clogging pores.
This cleansing oil gently removes even the toughest makeup and sunscreen without leaving a greasy residue, making it a must-have in any evening skincare routine.
2. Low pH Pore Deep Cleansing Foam by Pyunkang Yul
After oil cleansing, it’s time to use a water-based cleanser to ensure your skin is thoroughly cleansed. The Low pH Pore Deep Cleansing Foam is perfect for refreshing your skin without stripping away moisture, leaving it soft and smooth.
Here’s why:
Calendula Flower Extract: known for its soothing properties, calendula helps calm irritation, making it perfect for sensitive or redness-prone skin.
Coconut-Derived Cleansers: these gentle surfactants remove dirt and excess oil while keeping the skin’s moisture barrier intact, so your skin feels clean but not dry.
Moringa Seed Extract: a powerful antioxidant that helps protect skin from environmental pollutants and toxins, with anti-aging benefits.
Sodium Hyaluronate: a form of hyaluronic acid that provides deep hydration, leaving the skin plump and smooth after cleansing.
This cleanser works harmoniously with the cleansing oil to provide a thorough yet gentle cleanse, prepping your skin for the next steps.
3. Full Fit Propolis Synergy Toner by COSRX
A great toner is essential for rebalancing your skin after cleansing. The Full Fit Propolis Synergy Toner hydrates and soothes while helping brighten your complexion and even out skin tone. Perfect for dull or acne-prone skin, this toner gives your skin the glow it deserves.
Here’s why:
Mugwort Extract: known for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, mugwort helps calm irritated skin, perfect for acne-prone or sensitive skin.

Royal Jelly Extract: rich in nutrients that regenerate skin cells, royal jelly promotes a youthful, glowing complexion.
Adenosine: a wrinkle-fighting ingredient that helps smooth skin texture and improve elasticity, making fine lines less noticeable.
This toner works wonders in infusing your skin with hydration and nutrients, setting the foundation for healthy, glowing skin.
4. Tea Tree Relief Serum by iUNIK
Serums are where you target specific skin concerns, and the Tea Tree Relief Serum by iUNIK is a game-changer for those dealing with acne, redness, or sensitive skin. It calms inflammation while balancing and nourishing your skin.
Here’s why:

This serum is the perfect addition to any routine if you’re looking to calm, balance, and heal irritated skin while keeping breakouts at bay.
5. Bean Cream by Mixsoon
For ultimate hydration, the Bean Cream by Mixsoon is your go-to moisturizer. Packed with nutrient-rich plant extracts, it locks in moisture and protects your skin, making it perfect for dry skin or anyone needing an extra hydration boost.
Here’s why:
Soybean Ferment Filtrate: this powerful ferment deeply hydrates, improves elasticity, and helps to smooth out fine lines, keeping your skin youthful.
Shea Butter: A rich and nourishing emollient, shea butter restores your skin’s moisture and strengthens its barrier.

No routine is complete without sunscreen! The Wonder Releaf Centella Daily Sun Lotion is my go-to for morning sun protection. Lightweight and hydrating, it offers broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection, while also nourishing the skin without leaving a white cast.
