Hey beautiful souls,
This week I’ve been really tuning in to what my skin needs — less overwhelm, more balance. After a few weeks of experimenting with actives, I realised my skin loves structure and softness. So here’s the new rhythm I’ve found — a simple, mindful cycle that keeps the glow without stressing my barrier.

🌙 My Weekly Flow
Monday – Exfoliation & Clarity
I start the week fresh with the Medicube Zero Pore Pad to clear congestion, then a light sweep of Paula’s Choice BHA. My skin feels instantly cleaner, pores tighter, and the week somehow feels lighter too. I seal it in with Korres Yoghurt Gel Cream and a touch of Jeju Bamboo Gel for calm.
Morning is all about hydration + protection — Naturium Gelée Cleanser, Tbh Toner, BWY Gel, and my trusted Tocobo Sunscreen.
Tuesday – Retinol Reset
This is my renewal night. After cleansing, I apply Evelom Retinol Serum, then layer BWY Gel and Korres Yoghurt Cream for cushion. My skin drinks it up — smooth, plump, and quietly working while I rest.
Mornings stay gentle: Kiehl’s Cleanser, Tbh Toner, Korres Cream, and Tocobo Sunscreen.
Wednesday – Bright & Balanced
Midweek is for niacinamide! After Kiehl’s Cleanser and Tbh Toner, I use Naturium Niacinamide Serum 12% + Zinc 2% — it gives that dewy, even glow without overdoing it. I top it with Tatcha Water Cream and Jeju Bamboo Gel for a silky finish.
Morning: a light cleanse with Naturium Gelée, Tbh Toner, BWY Gel, and Tocobo Sunscreen.
Thursday – Recovery & Kindness
No actives tonight, just kindness. I let Clincitop handle any stubborn spots and comfort my skin with Korres Yoghurt Cream and BWY Gel.
It’s my reminder that rest is also skincare.
Morning is simple: Naturium Cleanser, Tbh Toner, Korres Cream, Tocobo Sunscreen.
Friday – Gentle Glow Up
End of week means Good Genes Lactic Acid night — the softest exfoliation ever. It smooths everything without irritation. I follow with Korres Yoghurt Cream and Jeju Bamboo Gel. The glow next morning? Chef’s kiss.
Morning: Naturium Cleanser, Tbh Toner, BWY Gel, Tocobo Sunscreen.
Saturday – Glow & Calm
My favourite combo: Niacinamide Serum again for balance, topped with Tatcha Water Cream and Jeju Bamboo Gel.
It’s the “quiet confidence” night — clear, hydrated skin that looks like I slept for ten hours.
Morning: Kiehl’s Cleanser, Tbh Toner, Korres Cream, Tocobo Sunscreen.
Sunday – Skin Sabbath
Just moisture, peace, and gratitude. Naturium Cleanser, Tbh Toner, Korres Cream, BWY Gel, Jeju Bamboo Gel — layer by layer, a soft reset for the new week.
My skin always thanks me for this slow ritual.
Morning mirrors the night: Naturium Cleanser, Tbh Toner, BWY Gel, Tocobo Sunscreen.
☀️ Closing Thoughts
This routine has been a lesson in balance — actives when my skin asks for action, calm when it needs care.
If you’re also cycling through too many serums, remember: more isn’t always better. Sometimes the best glow comes from letting your skin breathe.
