CEO, Beauty Barn

“My routine is focused on balancing oil, addressing hyperpigmentation and improving my skin texture. In the morning, I start with the I’m From Mugwort Essence, a calming and lightweight essence that preps my skin. Following this, I use AxisY Dark Spot Glow Correcting Serum, targeting my hyperpigmentation and brightening my skin’s complexion. For hydration, I follow up with the AXIS-Y Heartleaf My Type Calming Cream, a lightweight moisturizer that provides balanced moisture to my skin. I finish off my morning routine with the AXIS-Y Complete No-Stress Physical Sunscreen, a mineral sunscreen that provides broad-spectrum UV protection.

In the evening, I repeat the I’m From Mugwort Essence step, then I use my secret weapon the VT COSMETICS Reti-A Reedle Shot 100, which has been a game changer for my skin, it is a micro-needle retinol serum for improving my skin texture and giving me that youthful appearance. I layer it with the COSRX Advanced Snail Radiance Dual Essence, which hydrates and repairs my skin with snail mucin and lastly, I seal it all in with the AXIS-Y Heartleaf My Type Calming Cream.”

“My routine targets oily, acne-prone skin and promotes clarity. Both morning and night, I use the COSRX Advanced Snail Mucin Gel Cleanser, which helps in removing impurities from my skin. Then I follow with the Isntree Green Tea Fresh Toner, a soothing and hydrating toner with green tea extract and for a targeted treatment, I apply the Isntree Green Tea Fresh Serum for hydration and the Axis Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum for lightening my dark spots. I moisturize my skin with the COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All in one Cream, this moisturizer is just perfect for hydration and repairing. For protecting my skin from harmful sun damage during the daytime, I finish my skincare routine with the Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics SPF50+, a lightweight, hydrating sunscreen with rice extract and probiotics.”

“My routine addresses combo, dehydrated and acne-prone skin with a focus on gentle exfoliation and hydration. I begin with the COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser, a gentle cleanser for pore cleansing. One to two times per week, I use COSRX AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner for gentle chemical exfoliation and texture improvement. I then apply the Isntree Onion Newpair Essence Toner, a hydrating essence with onion extract for soothing and hydration. Following this, I use the COSRX Advanced Snail Radiance Dual Essence for hydration and brightening as it contains the goodness of snail extract. For moisturization, I alternate between an ISNTREE Onion Newpair Gel Cream in the summer and a Dear Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Cream in the winter, both mid-weight moisturizers are best for hydration without breakouts. I finish my morning routine with the COSRX Ultra-Light Invisible Sunscreen SPF50 PA+, a lightweight, hydrating sunscreen.”

Social Media Manager

“I focus on thorough cleansing and hydration for my oily skin. I begin with the Beauty of Joseon Radiance Cleansing Balm, an oil-based cleanser for removing my makeup and impurities, followed by the Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Cleanser, a water-based cleanser for gently cleansing my skin. Then I use the I’m From Rice Toner, a hydrating and brightening toner with rice extract. For a targeted treatment, I apply the Isntree C-Niacin Toning Ampoule, a brightening ampoule with vitamin C and niacinamide. And for moisturizing my skin I use the Beauty of Joseon Red Bean Water Gel, a lightweight, hydrating gel moisturize. I finish my skincare routine with the Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics SPF50+, a lightweight, hydrating sunscreen with rice extract and probiotics.”

Marketing & Business Development

“In my skincare routine I prioritize calming and barrier repairing products for my sensitive, rosacea-prone skin. I begin with the I’m From Mugwort Essence, a calming and soothing essence with mugwort extract. I then apply the Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum: Propolis + Niacinamide, a soothing and brightening serum. For moisturization, I use the Dear Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream, a barrier-repairing and soothing cream with guaiazulene. I occasionally use the Axis-Y New Skin Resolution Gel Mask, a hydrating and soothing gel mask, as needed for calming my skin. Then I finish my routine with the I’m From Rice Sunscreen SPF50, a gentle, hydrating sunscreen with rice extracts.”

Beauty Consultant

“For me, finding products that soothe without irritating my skin is the top priority as I have a combo, sensitive and rosacea prone skin. I start my day with the Isntree Green Tea Fresh Cleanser. It’s incredibly gentle, but still effectively removes any oil or impurities that build up overnight. Green tea is also fantastic for calming redness, which is a must for my rosacea. Next, I use the I’m From Mugwort Essence. Mugwort is a miracle ingredient for sensitive skin. Hydration is crucial, even with oily skin so for moisturizing my skin I use Dear Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream. It’s lightweight, yet deeply moisturizing and helps reduce redness and calm inflammation. Sunscreen is non-negotiable, especially with sensitive skin. I use the Isntree Onion Newpair Sunscreen SPF40. It’s lightweight, non-greasy and doesn’t irritate my skin. At night, I always double cleanse to remove makeup and sunscreen, so I use the Beauty Of Joseon Ginseng Cleansing Oil. It’s gentle enough for my sensitive skin and effectively melts away all traces of makeup and sebum.”
