Charlotte Cho's 9-Step Nighttime Skincare Routine _ Go to Bed With Me _ Harper's BAZAAR

Hey, it's time to get ready with me. Let's get started on the first step. This is part of my double cleanse. For those of you who are not familiar with double cleansing, this is where you introduce an oil-based cleanser and then a water-based cleanser to make sure you got rid of all your impurities. I'm gonna start off with the Then I Met You Living Cleansing Balm. And this is actually something that I've created. And this is a luxurious blend of sea buckthorn oils, which is a very powerful antioxidant. I love the way this smells. This has a light citrus scent. Oh, man. I love how it just melts everything away. My eye makeup is just disappearing right now. I'm going to add a little bit of water and then emulsify. So now that I finished my oil cleanse, let's go straight into the second part of the double cleanse, which is a water-based cleanser. This is a Then I Met You Soothing Tea Cleansing Gel. And I love using this gel-based cleanser because it allows me to remove all impurities from my skin without making it feel stripped or dry. And I think that's an important quality of your second step. You'll notice that this has a very sticky, bouncy texture. That's because it has all of these hydrators in it, like glycerin and sorbitol. It smells slightly citrusy as well. And remember, when you are drying your face, do not use this type of motion. You have to pat it dry. We're going to exfoliate. And this is particularly important in the wintertime because you definitely get a lot of dry flakes. And definitely for me, because I have dry skin type, plus I have a lot of flaky lips, so then I definitely need to use this about once or twice a week. I like using this from Klairs. And the reason why I like using this is because it's very gentle. It's good for sensitive skin types. It has real natural sugars. It's about 20% sugar in it. And it doesn't make your skin feel dry or tight at all. You could rinse it off and it'll just feel baby smooth and soft. Okay, so I just use about this amount. And then I apply it on four different parts of my face. And then I just gently roll it along my face to get rid of all those dead skin cells. There's so many impurities in your skin that could lead to acne. And your fine lines could look more pronounced when you're not exfoliating regularly. So make sure you do it often. Oh, wow. I can feel my skin feeling so soft. Oh, it's a must during the wintertime for sure. Now that we've got cleansing all out of the way, we can go into our hydrators and treatment products. So I am going to use this here, the Mamonde Hydrating Beauty Water. And now that my skin is a little bit fragile from all that cleansing, I wanna bring my skin back to its happy state. So this beauty water is gonna help reset my pH. I'm gonna sweep this across my skin. Oh, it smells like roses. Now I'm gonna go into sheet masking. So now that the weather's getting colder, there's nothing better than adding a sheet mask to your routine and K-Beauty is all about sheet masks. This particular one has eight vitamins in it. I love it when sheet masks have this backing behind it because it's so easy to peel off and then put it right onto your skin. This one has large eye holes. I literally put sheet masks in my fridge just to have that extra cooling effect. That's always nice. It's weird though when people come over and they look into my fridge and they just see a bunch of sheet masks. Perfect. I like how the sheet mask doesn't have that really white cottony texture. It's really soft. It almost feels like a second skin. There's a lot of essence left over in this pouch. So you dip your hands in, use it on your hands. You could use it on your neck. Now that it's been about 10, 15 minutes, I'm gonna peel this off. An instant glow. Next, we're gonna go into the essence step and this is a huge part of the K-Beauty routine. Essences are just really gonna help you brighten your skin and make it super supple. This is a Neogen Real Ferment Micro Essence, an exclusive to Soka Glam, and it's 93% fermented ingredients, which is my all-time favorite ingredient. I love that it's great for sensitive skin types and also it just absorbs better. I just put a few drops into the palm of my hand and I tap it into my skin. Again, very gentle motions. You wanna treat your skin like a delicate egg because it pretty much is. And you need to make sure that you get all over. Again, your neck is really important. And sometimes I like to tap it into my skin to make sure that it absorbs properly. Next up, let's talk about ampoules. Ampoules are super concentrated and I love using this because it has snail mucin in it. This is a Missha Super Aqua Sauvignon Snail Ampoule. Missha is a classic K-beauty brand that everyone trusts and I love using this. I'm gonna put a few drops here and here. Put one last drop here. And I'm gonna smear this onto my skin. This has 60% snail mucin and I can really feel it on my skin. You can just feel it cocooning your skin and I love how snail mucin is something that's great for even oily skin types and people that have hormone acne like me. So the next step is the eye cream and I'm really, really picky about my eye creams because I don't like it when it's too thick or emollient. And this one definitely is light enough so that it doesn't create milia. Milia are those little tiny bumps on your skin that you actually need to get rid of through a laser or derm appointment. You don't wanna go there. So this formula is light enough so it won't cause that. So I'm addicted to this eye cream. And now I'm gonna use this finger to gently tap along my orbital bone. Don't forget to get the tops of your eyes and along the sides where you can get crow's feet. So for the final last step, this is something that's really important for the end of your routine because you want to lock all of those skin-benefiting ingredients into your skin. And this is the Cerame Snail Secretion Filtrate Cream. Again, I'm gravitating towards the snail mucin because it is just a proven hydrator and it really does wonders for my skin, especially during the winter time. This has, again, so much snail mucin in it. And remember, snails are not harmed during this process so it's not as gross as you may think it is. So again, I do the four corners of my face. Ooh, look how sticky that is. My skin feels like it has been completely covered with hydrators, which is great for my skin barrier.
