When my skin hits an “uh oh” moment and I need a calming reset, I’ll reach for the Etude House Soon Jung 2x Barrier Intensive Cream. It’s formulated with Madecassosside and Panthenol to hydrate, soothe, and fortify the skin barrier, particularly handy in the colder, drier season. Because it’s of a low pH and is fragrance-free, I don’t have to worry about stressing my skin out further and can focus on its comforting benefits.

Sometimes I’ll go to bed at a reasonable hour. Sometimes I’ll scroll through Pinterest until dawn and wake up a few hours later with puffy undereyes. The SNP Gold Collagen Dual Eye Patch is my saving grace in these situations, with its Gold and Collagen-infused essence that brightens, plumps, and soothes. It’s also formulated with 9 types of Hyaluronic Acid and Peptide Complex to nourish and hydrate the skin, so well that I can fool people into thinking I’ve gotten a full 8 hours or rest.

Exfoliating in the winter may not be your top priority, but it’s a step in your weekly routine that shouldn’t be forgotten. The KLAVUU Phytoncide Peeling Gel mildly rids the skin of dead skin cells and build-up to maintain a fresh, glowing complexion. A hybrid physical-chemical exfoliator, it uses LHA and BHA to clear impurities, while Cellulose aids the skin’s turnover cycle. Don’t forget your exfoliating routine to ensure your skincare products are being fully absorbed into the skin.

The iconic Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum awakens skin radiance and fights signs of aging with an herbal JUAM Activator that includes Peony, White Lily and Sacred Lotus among other ingredients. Approved by BLACKPINK’s Rosé, it visibly firms the skin and enhances the moisture barrier, as well as preps the skin for the next steps of the routine. Any chance to grab this world-famous serum during a sale should not be missed.

The skin under your eyes is more delicate than any other part of the face, so gentle care is needed to keep it smooth and wrinkle-free. Enter: the MIZON Snail Repair Eye Cream, a Snail Mucin-rich cream that replenishes and tightens the undereyes. Aside from applying this at night to erase dark circles, our fans love to use this under makeup to keep it from creasing.

It’s a good thing the LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask EX Mini Kit. comes with 4 lip masks because I need one on my vanity, in my bag, in the car, and in my makeup bag. The LANEIGE lip mask formula just transforms the lips from dry and flakey to plush and, dare I say, absolutely kissable, thanks to its formula’s Berry Fruits Complex.
