I would say that the majority of people only cleanse 1-2 times per day (or not at all) and slap on some moisturizer if they're feeling that they're skin is suffering from a serious drought. Honestly, this was me up until my 11th year of high school. Heck. I didn't even wash my face even if I returned from a day's worth of sweat from hockey practice. I thought showering did the trick because all the dirt and sweat would wash off, right? I was definitely wrong about that. I didn't know the importance and benefits that came with a proper skincare routine and if only I knew sooner because it's become such a game changer in my life!

I mainly use Korean skincare products. I honestly don't remember how I was introduced to Korean skincare products from brands such as Laneige, Innisfree, Missha, Secret Key, CosRX, Nature Republic, etc. I just remember I visited the first Korean & Japanese beauty store in my city while I was shopping for my secret santa. I got my secret santa a really cute foam cleanser that was shaped as a pot with a little sprout at the top. The brand was TonyMoly and I just fell in love with how cute the packaging looked. I am a sucker for cute packaging... a bad habit because 99% of the time that leads to impulsive buying. I think from then on, I visited that store often and it opened up the doors to Korean skincare. To begin with, I had minimal knowledge about skincare so it took a lot of researching and reading for me to form a suitable skincare routine for my skin type.
