Not 10 steps. No, who has time to do 10 steps in the morning? Yeah, I think that is the secret behind Korean skincare. To be honest, they are. Hello, I am Annyang. This is Yui from One Eye Beauty, the place where I put the Korean beauty info in one eye. It's 5am and I'm in my bathroom to do my morning skincare routine. 5am has nothing to do with Korean skincare ritual. By the way, koreans are actually generally night owls. You know the city. Seoul is a city that never sleeps, and all the best TV shows are on at nighttime and so on. And I was the same. So why 5 am? Ever since having kids, I don't get much of a me time. I'm always surrounded by my three boys the old boy, my husband, and my two young boys, my son so early in the morning is the only time I get to have quality time to myself. Have you guys heard of the book called 5am club? I actually haven't read this book, but early in the morning elevate your life. I think its concept is similar to my reasons for getting up early. Waking up early has changed my life and it has been a much better decision for my skin health as well. Apparently, sleeping between 10pm to 2am is crucial. You actually get the most quality sleep during that time, and these days I'm sleeping even better with my life-changing pillow from Sleep and Glow. This Sleep and Glow anti-aging pillow, made in Italy, is a game changer, especially if you're a side sleeper. I usually like to sleep on my back to keep all my skincare products nicely on my face overnight, and this pillow is great for those who sleep on your back as well, because it has a support that goes on your neck, and I don't get any neck pain now with this. And over during the nighttime I twist and turn and like to sleep on my side as well, and this pillow has this amazing side cradle that just supports your cheek, but without your cheek touching so much of the pillow. So your skincare products will stay on your face without smudging on your pillow. This is a game changer, guys. If you're interested, go and enjoy 10% off discount code below. I'll leave it down in the comment section. So this is the time when I usually get up and do my morning skincare routine. Not 10 steps, no, I mean, who has time to do 10 steps in the morning? Yeah, most of us are busy in the morning. So the five step routine I'm about to show you is actually seven steps, including the eye cream and sunscreen. Without these two, the main steps are five steps. Even five to seven steps might be too much for some of you, so feel free to adjust this. You don't have to copy exactly the same. I just want you to get a good idea of what to consider in a morning skincare routine through this video. So a simple five to seven steps morning skincare routine. Let's go First.

Speaker 1:

I wash my face using a gentle cleansing foam. I don't use just water, because even I have double cleansed the night before. Over the night your face will build sebum and residue, so do need to use our cleansing foam. I have done a detailed video on the cleansing previously, which is my most well-performed video so far, hitting over 100k views. So if you're interested you can go and check that out after watching this one.

Speaker 1:

Usually when I have no skin troubles, I use this cleansing foam over here, the Lab by Blanc Du Oligohalonic Acid Foam Cleanser. I did show this in my previous video. The Oligohalonic Acid apparently has smaller molecular weight than standard low molecular hyaluronic acid, so this is very hydrating and gentle on the skin. So I like to use this in the morning usually, but at the moment I have skin troubles, like here and there. I have spots on my forehead and redness over here and so on. So at times when I have skin troubles, I use this cleansing foam over here. B Lab Matcha Hydrating Foam Cleanser. Matcha is highly antioxidant and this is infused with 10,000 ppm of green tea and green tea leaf extract, along with centella asiatica and ceramide, so I find this a great option at the times when I have skin troubles.

Speaker 1:

So let's wash the face with this. So there you go. Look, can you see the beautiful green color? Feels so good. This is really hydrating and gentle on the skin, so it doesn't strip Really soothing and hydrating. See, even after opening my eyes after washing everywhere, it doesn't sting my eyes. Feels so so good. Okay, so before my face gets super dry after washing, let me quickly apply on the toner.

Speaker 1:

The toner I'm going to use today is Lanbelle Supernatural Moist Lock Toner. This is in 500ml. It's a jumbo. It's such a great value. I like to put on heaps of this onto my hand. Seriously, I put heaps. It's 500ml jumbo size anyway.

Speaker 1:

Right, give your skin what it deserves. Never, never, save it Like would you save water to give to your body? No right, you would give yourself as much water as possible whenever needed. So do the same for the skin. Just give your skin as much hydration as it needs. Just do not save your skincare products. Guys, it's better to purchase an affordable product like the one I'm using now and apply on heaps, rather than to buy something expensive and apply on a little bit. Yeah, I think that is the secret behind Korean skincare. To be honest, they are well-infused yet affordable, so you can apply on heaps. Seriously, that's the secret behind Korean skincare.

Speaker 1:

One of my subscribers, sweetie Pie, has requested for me to review this toner. Thank you very much, sweetie Pie. This contains hyaluronide, hyaluronic acid, along with ceramides, and it has watery yet slightly viscous texture. So it has a bit of a gooey texture to it, but it's still very lightweight and extremely hydrating. Most of the products I'll be showing in today's video are available at Stylevana, but I don't think this one is. Unfortunately, stylevana doesn't stock that many non-veil products, but I think this is available at YesStyle. I do have a discount code for YesStyle as well. You can go and check out the details in the information section below.

Speaker 1:

Now let's move on to the serum. The first serum I'm going to use is this one over here, a Uni-Propolis Vitamin Synergy Serum. I have shown you guys the serum previously in my Honey and Propolis Serum video. This wasn't my number one pick, but I do like to use this in my morning skincare routine as it has a very light weight and it absorbs quickly into the skin so it doesn't peel your makeup and I apply on loads of this as well. See, it has a really lightweight. It's got this watery texture. This contains 70% propolis, so it makes my skin look really vitalized, healthy and radiant throughout the day. Propolis is a stable ingredient that is less prone to oxidize when it's exposed to sunlight, so it is a great choice for morning skincare routine.

Speaker 1:

I use two serums in the morning. The first one was the propolis serum and the second one is this one over here, costa Baja Niacinamide 10 Serum. Niacinamide is another stable ingredient that won't oxidize when exposed to the sunlight. I love niacinamide it is essential in my routine and Costa Baja they make great serums. This is another brand that deserves more attention. They make great ranges of niacinamide serums. Just apply on loads.

Speaker 1:

Once again, this is so hydrating and it has a perfect texture. It's lightweight, yet viscous at the same time. So it's just perfect Like, has a bit of a thickness without being sticky, so hydrating. And niacinamide has so many skin benefits. It's great for anti-aging, anti-sebum, skin brightening, has so many multi benefits. If niacinamide 10% is too high for you, costa Baja has another serum, this one over here. This is Costa Baja's trisomic acid and niacinamide serum, which contains 5% trisomic acid and 5% niacinamide. Both are great ingredients to fade away your dark spots and hyperpigmentation. One of my subscribers has recommended me this serum, saying that it did help her to get rid of her dark spots. So so try it, guys. And tristamic acid is another staple ingredient that will not oxidize when exposed to the sunlight. So another great option to add into your morning skincare routine. And lastly, the cream.

Speaker 1:

In the morning, I only concentrate on skin moisturization, nothing else. Moisturization is crucial for anti-aging as well. It is one of the most basic requirements. So in the morning I just go for something really simple, and for that I use this one over here Corsair Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Cream. This is a great lightweight cream that has a in-between cream and gel texture. I'll show you over here. See, it's a really lightweight, in between creamy and gel-like texture and it has a bit of a skin cooling effect as well. This is infused with 3000 ppm of sodium hyaluronate, along with panthenol and allantoin, so it's very, very hydrating and moisturizing. I want to show you guys another cream that I use in my morning routine instead of the Corsera X1 when I don't want a cooling effect on my face A simple cream infused with good ingredients without any cooling effect is this one over here Mixoon Bean Cream.

Speaker 1:

This is a really simple, creamy moisturizer without any fragrance. I'll just apply it on to show you guys its texture. There you go. It's just a really simple cream without any fragrance. I wouldn't say that this cream is intensely moisturizing, but it does have a good moisturization. So I would say that it moisturizes my dry skin enough and it's infused with many great fermented ingredients fermented soybean and barley, along with panthenol. It's a really good, simple cream without any fragrance. Enough moisturization, it doesn't peel my makeup and it's infused with great ingredients, so it's just right to fit into my morning routine. So that was my five-step morning skincare routine.

Speaker 1:

My sixth one will be the eye cream, and I'm going to use this one over here AHC Premier Ampulline Eye Cream. I did show you guys as my number one pick in my eye cream video. This does contain small amount of vitamin C, which here's an unstable ingredient that will oxidize when exposed under the sunlight, but I'm going to apply it on sunscreen. So this one is a quite rich eye cream, a bit oily. I do personally really like oily, a slightly greasy eye cream, but this doesn't peel your makeup, though. If you don't like this slightly greasy texture, then I'd suggest you to go with this one over here AHC 10 Revolution Eye Cream for Face. This one feels a bit more moisturizing and feels a bit less oily than this one. Overall, ahc, I think they make great eye creams.

Speaker 1:

And lastly, the seventh step is the sunscreen. These days, I'm in love with mineral sunscreens. I did do a video on mineral sunscreens recently and did introduce this one from D'Eclisse as the best one for dry skin types. I am absolutely in love with this mineral sunscreen as I can just wreck it on just before going to work or going for a school run, as mineral sunscreen works immediately. But today I don't need to rush out anywhere, so I'm going to apply my favourite chemical sunscreen, this one over here Round Lab Burst Juice Moisturising Sunscreen.

Speaker 1:

Oh yes, the viral sunscreen that has won three consecutive VAs at Olive Young Awards. It is the ultimate bestseller in Korea and all over the world. I have done a video on this as well. Along with its sun stick and sun cushion, this is an extremely hydrating sunscreen that almost feels like a moisturizer. So if you're wondering what is this difference between chemical and mineral sunscreens, I did explain about it several times in my previous videos and next week my video will be on chemical vs mineral sunscreens, where I'll be showing a wide range of different chemical and mineral sunscreens from 5 viral Korean skincare brands.
