Preparing Your Skin for Winter: My K-Beauty Skincare Routine


As the winter season approaches, it's important to change up your skincare routine to cater to the colder and drier climate. As a K-beauty enthusiast and skincare junkie, I've tried numerous products and finally found a routine that works for me. In this article, I'll be sharing my go-to products from SeoulSkin Australia to keep my skin healthy and hydrated during the winter months.


Step 1: Cleanse


One product that I highly recommend for this season is the Defenderm Reset Barrier Soft Cleansing Milk.


Formulated with 10.7% Sea Grape Extract, this cleansing milk is perfect for sensitive skin as it gently removes impurities without stripping the skin's natural moisture. In fact, it has been clinically tested and proven to have no primary irritation on sensitive skin.


Not only does this cleansing milk effectively cleanse the skin, but it also leaves my skin feeling soft, supple, and ready for the rest of my skincare routine.





Step 2: Toner


Next, I apply the Defenderm Reset Barrier Essence Toner, a must-have skincare essential for anyone looking to achieve a healthy, moisturized, and glowing complexion. This powerful essence toner is made with 78% Sea Grape Extract, also known as Green Caviar, and is specially formulated to provide intense moisturization and skin protection for sensitive skin.


Clinically tested for non-primary irritation on sensitive skin, the Defenderm Reset Barrier Essence Toner is gentle and safe for all skin types. It has also undergone clinical testing for Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) improvement, making it an effective solution for dry and dehydrated skin.


Ideal for those with sensitive skin, this essence toner is a mild cleansing gel that helps to strengthen and protect the skin's natural barrier. With its gentle formula and powerful benefits, the Defenderm Reset Barrier Essence Toner is the perfect addition to your daily skincare routine.





Step 3: Treatment


During the winter months, I like to incorporate the Acleon Advanced Blemish Spot Concentrate for powerful spot and blemish treatment that targets acne and troubled spots with its 26 active ingredients. This highly concentrated overnight acne spot treatment is scientifically formulated to soothe and reduce irritated skin as quickly as possible.


One of the key features of this acne spot cream is that it contains three active ingredients derived from clean and natural sources. Magnolol is included to minimize stress on oily skin, while Totarol has antioxidant activity that is 3 times higher than Vitamin E. Additionally, Asiaticoside is included to quickly calm irritated skin.





Step 4: Serum


To combat dryness and give my skin an extra boost of hydration, I use the NOTSEEBACK Drop In Muco Snail (Snail Mucin 100). This is an essence made with 100% extract of Mucopolysaccharide Snail Secretion, and is supplied by the OG manufacturer and purveyor of Snail Mucin to other top skincare brands. This product has no additives or dilution in its formula, and contains 100% concentration of Snail Mucin.





Step 5: Eye Cream


The delicate skin around our eyes is often the first to show signs of aging and dryness. To keep my eye area moisturized and plump, I use the Licorne Vegan Rice Eye Cream. This eye cream is specifically designed to treat dark and dry skin around the eyes. With its firm elasticity treatment and delicate finish, this eye cream is perfect for anyone looking to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.


As with all Licorne products, the Vegan Rice Eye Cream is vegan and cruelty-free, and made with natural ingredients like Shea Butter, Oryza Sativa Bran Extract, and Glycolic Acid.





Step 6: Moisturizer


Last but not least, I seal everything in with the Defenderm Reset Barrier Recovery 150H Cream - a deeply hydrating solution designed specifically for sensitive skin. Formulated with 56.6% Sea Grape Extract, this moisture cream provides long-lasting hydration for up to 150 hours. Clinically tested and proven to be non-irritating for delicate skin types, this cream provides a significant improvement in moisturization up to the 13th layer of the Stratum Corneum. The melting formula of this cream provides a refreshing and lightweight sensation upon application, leaving your skin feeling nourished and revitalized. Say goodbye to dry, flaky skin and hello to a soft, supple, and healthy-looking complexion.





Indulgent Days: Sheet Mask


On days when my skin needs an extra boost of hydration, I like to use the Genabelle PDRN Rejuvenating Mask. This sheet mask is a powerful skincare product designed to provide instant hydration and moisture to your skin. It contains a unique combination of ingredients that help firm and smooth your skin while restoring moisture balance. This ultimate healing formula is especially beneficial for extremely dry, red, and irritated skin.

One of the key features of this mask is that it is hypoallergenic, pH-balancing, and vegan-friendly. It is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and helps clear and improve my skin's complexion.





In Conclusion


As the weather changes, it's important to adjust your skincare routine to keep your skin healthy and happy. By incorporating these K-beauty products from SeoulSkin Australia into my winter routine, I'm able to combat dryness and protect my skin from the harsh elements. Remember, everyone's skin is different, so it's important to find what works best for you. Happy winter skincare!
