skincare routine

-
Your skincare routine includes gentle and hydrating products, which is a great start! However, if you're dealing with bumps like closed comedones, whiteheads, or milia, you might need to adjust your routine slightly to address clogged pores and improve skin texture. Here's how you can tweak it:


---

Current Products:

1. Aiken Prebiotic Hydra Plus Facial Cleanser



Mild and prebiotic, so it's skin barrier-friendly. You can keep this as your cleanser.

2. Cosrx Oil-Free Ultra-Moisturizing Lotion (With Birch Sap)



A lightweight, hydrating moisturizer that's great for oily or combination skin. No need to change it.

3. Cosrx Centella Aqua Soothing Ampoule



Centella is calming and suitable for soothing irritation. Keep it, especially if your skin is sensitive or inflamed.

4. Isntree Green Tea Fresh Toner



Balancing and oil-controlling. It's a good addition, especially for combination or oily skin.


---

Suggested Adjustments:

1. Add an Exfoliant (2–3 times per week):



Incorporate a chemical exfoliant to address clogged pores and prevent new bumps.

Recommended:

COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid (for clogged pores and comedones).

Apply this after your toner and before your ampoule.

Start with once per week to see how your skin reacts.

2. Optional Step – Spot Treatment:



If bumps are stubborn, use a targeted treatment at night.

The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% is gentle, anti-inflammatory, and helps with clogged pores and uneven texture.

3. Moisturizer Usage:



If you feel your routine is too hydrating and causing clogged pores, try alternating between your current moisturizer and a gel-based one like Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream.

4. Sun Protection:



Since sunscreen irritates your skin, use hats or avoid prolonged sun exposure as an alternative.


---

Routine Example (with Adjustments):

Morning:

1. Aiken Prebiotic Hydra Plus Facial Cleanser


2. Isntree Green Tea Fresh Toner


3. Cosrx Centella Aqua Soothing Ampoule


4. Cosrx Oil-Free Ultra-Moisturizing Lotion



Night:

1. Aiken Prebiotic Hydra Plus Facial Cleanser


2. Isntree Green Tea Fresh Toner


3. BHA Exfoliant (2–3 times a week)


4. Cosrx Centella Aqua Soothing Ampoule


5. Cosrx Oil-Free Ultra-Moisturizing Lotion

If your skin doesn't improve within 6–8 weeks or worsens, consider consulting a dermatologist for further guidance. Let me know how your skin feels after these changes!
