8 skincare products  I'm a fan of Japanese and Korean skincare as it suits Asian skin and is relatively affordable. Recently I also got Paula's Choice from the US to minimise my comedones.  K-Beauty strives for “Glass Skin” to make skin look luminous and clear.  J-Beauty strives for “Mochi Skin” with its gentle and nutritious products.  Day Routine Optional step (Step 1)   Oil cleanser for makeup and sebum remover   Step 2: Water Cleanser                           I use the Whip Premium facial cleanser (480 yen)  Alternatively, I use  Senka Perfect Whip facial cleanser ($4-7) I find that foam cleansers work better on cleaning the dirt out from oily skin.                      Step 3: Toner  Somebymi Miracle Toner ($10) A toner is used to minimise large pores.  BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid) can help to reduce whiteheads and blackheads.  AHA (Alpha-hydroxy acid) can help to smooth wrinkles and cleanse pores.  PHA (Polyhydroxy acids) are exfoliants which have similar properties as AHAs.
