STEP 1: CLEANSING

It is widely known that the first step to a good skincare routine is cleansing. Whether this is oil-based or water-based, the removal of dirt or any unwanted debris is essential to your routine, leaving the skin with a fresh feel. The Lon G Ginseng Facial Wash is a personal favourite of mine. It’s the perfect enzyme-based option for gently removing sebum and dead skin cells. With its nourishing and hydrating formula, it promotes a hydrated, smooth complexion. The Ginseng facial powder transforms into a soft, foamy substance upon use and is ideal for sensitive skin types. After only a week of use, I’ve noticed a significant difference in the feel of my skin. This product is a top recommendation! In terms of oil cleansing, the viral Centella Light Cleansing Oil is a must-have in

STEP 2: TONER 

While Toner is considered of less importance within a skin routine, the benefits are endless! Although the job of cleanser is to remove impurities from the skin, toner is an extra step in ensuring the skin stays in this clean state, with more of a targeted goal to tackle different skin types.
I swear by the Lon G Korean Toner designed to hydrate and soothe sensitive skin. This toner is perfect for oily skin, with its purpose of balancing oil and moisture levels, in order to calm irritation.

STEP 3: SERUM

Serums are the step in your skin care routine that makes skincare personalised to you. The possibility of hydrating, exfoliating, plumping or brightening are highly dependent on what aspect of your skin your serum targets. For example, you may find a serum that targets dark spots and hyper pigmentation while others manage other concerns like wrinkles or acne. You battle skin concerns of your choosing.

Moisturising is one of the most widely known forms of skin care, even without a full routine. Its  intention of softening and hydrating the skin is what provides comfort and reduces skin sensitivity. Moisturiser help prevent the skin from drying out, hence the need for reapplication. The Lon G Repair Skinback Capsule Cream is a must have premium product to add to your skin care routine! Its the ideal moisturiser for improving skin texture and hydration. Its light weight formula nourishes and strengthens the skin, enhancing the skins youthful glow.
