I’ve been an on and off user of AB skincare and sunscreen but never consistently and never exclusively. I’ve used sunscreen religiously for the past 24 years rain or shine. About a month ago, I decided to go all-in on AB. I’m in my late 30’s. Here’s my skin after 1 month while wearing Round Lab Birch Juice sunscreen.
I’m a scuba avid diver and spend 10 weeks of the year out/on/in/near the water in super humid equatorial tropical regions so I get a LOT of intense sun despite sunscreen because I’m always wet or underwater. I’ve been pretty amazed by the brightening/evening of my skintone, as well as improved pore visibility. Previoulsy, I used to oil cleanse at night and never double cleansed. Hada Labo lotion, then whatever moisturizer was lying around and only splashed my face with water in the morning. I have normal to combo skin in summer and normal skin that skews more dry in winter. I live in a dry climate.
Here’s my new routine!
Morning
1 – Isntree Yam Root Vegan Milk Cleanser
2 – CosRx Poreless Pads
3 – Kikumasamune High Moist Lotion
4- Beauty of Joseon Glow Deep Serum Rice + Alpha Arbutin
5 – Sekkisei Enriched Emulsion
6- AB sunscreen of choice for the day depending on weather, how skin is, and what I’m doing – Skin 1004, Birch Lab, Anessa, Klairs, Goodal, Beauty of Joseon, Nambuzin, Biore, Purito, Skin Aqua
Evening
1 – Shu Uemura Ultime8 Cleansing Oil
2 – Isntree Yam Root Vegan Milk Cleanser
3 – CosRx AHA 7 Whitehead Power Liquid or BHA Blackhead Power Liquid (alternating)
4 – Kikumasamune High Moist Lotion
5- Nambuzin Vitamin Concetrated Serum 5
6 – Beauty of Joseph Revive Eye Serum Ginseng Retinol
7 – Dr G Red Blemish or Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream
2X a week:
Innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask around T-Zone and near the nose where I have slightly enlarged pores.
1-2X a week
Mediheal Vita and Collagen mask (alternating)
Nambuzin Vitamin-Niacinamide Concentrated Pad between masks if needed
Everything is new for the past month except for my oil cleanser and the Sekkisei enriched emulsion. In addition to brightening/evening, and pores looking better, texture has also improved remarkably. It is sometimes challenging trying to manage my oily on surface but dehydrated skin. My other half even said my skin was glowing, unprompted. 😍
