The cleansing stage

#1 Double cleansing is a great skincare tip many girls swear by! Use an oil-based or water-based makeup remover to remove all traces of makeup and dirt before cleansing with a facial gel or foam.

#2 Use a makeup remover at the end of the day to remove dirt and grime on your face, especially sunscreen even if you don't have any makeup on.

#3 Gently rub your face with facial cleanser for 60 seconds to soften the skin and dissolve sebum blockages. The trick here is to neither overdo (and risk drying out your skin) or skim through (and not let the cleanser do what it's supposed to do) this step.

#4 You don't always have to wash your face twice a day! If you have very sensitive and dry skin, skipping the cleansing stage in the morning can help retain moisture in your skin. Instead, use lukewarm water to gently wash away any excess oil.

#5 Using grainy scrubs to exfoliate your face can actually damage your skin barrier! Using a salicylic or glycolic-acid cleanser or toner is more effective. Acids can aid in unclogging pores and giving your skin a smoother appearance.

#6 You don't always have to use one sheet mask for your entire face. If certain parts of your face feel oilier or drier, it's best to spot treat these areas. Use a clay mask on your t-zone to remove excess sebum and thicker creams or masks on areas like your cheeks for extra hydration.

#7 Your sheet mask is not just for your face! Did you know that the excess serum you get from the sheet mask can be used on your body, lips and cushion foundation? See more hidden sheet masks uses.

#8 Make sure you use toner before applying or using masks as the toner will help to remove any impurities on your skin and prep it to absorb all the goodness from the mask.

#9 There is a right order to apply your skincare products! Follow it so that the products don't go to waste and your skin will be able to benefit from it.

#10 Don't rush when doing your skincare routine. If you are doing the 10-step Korean skincare routine or even less than that, you still have to wait for each product to be fully absorbed into your skin before applying the next one. This is so that the previous product doesn't dilute the next product and affect its efficiency.

#11 Use your ring finger to apply eye cream because it's the weakest finger and will not tug or put too much pressure on your delicate eye area.

#12 Use a dabbing motion when applying eye cream instead of dragging to prevent fine lines.

#13 Apply your skincare products in an upwards motion to prevent saggy skin.

#14 Don't dry your face entirely before applying moisturiser. Creams work best with a little water to seal in hydration so if you have dry skin, this tip might just help your skin!

#15 Use a vitamin C serum to tackle any dark spots asap for best results.

#16 Finish off your skincare routine by applying a thick layer of lip mask or lip balm before going to sleep, especially if you sleep in a room with air conditioning. This will let you wake up to plump and smooth lips the next day!
