I always wipe my face with cleansing water soaked in a cotton pad, and finish with a double cleanse using cleansing foam. Since I have combination skin (oily T-zone, dry cheeks), I apply toner to a cotton pad to tighten and wipe my face. In the morning, I apply sunscreen to prevent moisture evaporation and stop oil production. By shielding my skin from sunlight, I ensure it does not overheat, raise its temperature, and cause excessive sebum secretion. When applying foundation, the powder ingredients retain oil, prevent moisture evaporation, and deliver hydration to the skin, creating a moist state. Managing my skin this way is the key tip for daily oil-water balance.
I follow the same routine in the evening; instead of sunscreen or foundation, I apply an astringent moisturizing cream, a cream, or a water essential cream before going to sleep. This allows my skin to repeatedly nourish, repair, and regenerate.
