Since you have a dehydrated skin, focus on your cleanser, toner, and
moisturizer to provide the hydration + sun screen for the AM routine. If you
want to remove flaws for example, dark spot, pimples, black heads/white
heads, uneven skin tone or whatever flaws that you have, leave that to your
serum and essence. Scroll down for YESs and NOs in taking care of dehydrated
skin <3

Taking Care of Dehydrated Skin:

AVOID!
- Alcohol (SD Alcohol 40, Denatured Alcohol, Ethanol and Isopropyl Alcohol but
these can be good untuk acne), parfum, fragrance, sulfate (Sodium or
Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate as these are drying af)
- Over exfoliation (jangan pakai AHA or BHA hari-hari)
- Too many caffeinated drinks
- Terdedah kepada matahari tanpa perlindungan dari
UVA/UVB (important)
- Kurang minum air kosong

SAY YES TO THESE!

When treating dehydrated skin, your goal is to retain moisture,
creating a glowy, healthy looking skin. You want to deliver hydration
and seal it in. So,
- Look for ingredients yang ada Glycerine, Hyaluronic Acid, or
Glycolic acid (Glycolic is AHA) (either one)
 - Include Serum and Essence in
your skin care routine that target
different problem. Boleh guna
diff serum. Maybe in the
morning, serum A, malam pulak
serum B.
- Vitamin C is good and
Niacinamide is excellent but they
cannot be used together
serentak as they cancel each
other’s property.
- AHA is good untuk seminggu
sekali. Removes white heads,
bagi kulit glowing serta
kurangkan texture kulit.
- MINUM AIR KOSONG BANYAK2
(2-3 liter sehari)

P/S: I might be more inclined towards
Asian skincare because Asian skin care
tends to focus more on hydrating and
is all about that glow from within so
excuse my biasness hahaha
MAIN SUGGESTION: (TONER)

1. Klairs Supple Preparation

Toner 180ml (RM80)
Prep your skin with this
refreshing toner that
removes excess dirt and
sebum while restoring
pH balance. Amino
acids reduce irritation
and provide deep
hydration. Toner is the
essential first step in any moisturizing regimen. It preps your skin to
absorb the next step in your skincare regimen: essence.

2. Son & Park Beauty Water

340ml (RM145)
Beauty Water can be used
in the morning to create the
perfect canvas for makeup
application, midday as a
refresher, and night after
cleansing to whisk away
remaining impurities. For normal, oily, dry, and combination skin types.
Beauty Water has a pH of 4.5, effectively resetting the skin's natural pH
after cleansing.
 3. Thayers Alcohol-Free Rose Petal
Witch Hazel Toner 355ml (RM54)
Thayers Witch Hazel with Aloe
Vera Formula Astringents and
Alcohol-Free Toners are soothing,
natural treatments that cleanse,
heal and preserve your skin.*
Made of extract from the Witch
Hazel shrub (Hamamelis
Virginiana) and a blend of other
time-tested ingredients, these
natural elixirs containing important
tannins have been a fixture in medicine cabinets for generations. Once
you use them, you’ll know why

4. Paula's Choice Skin Balancing Pore-

Reducing Toner 190ml (RM121)
SKIN BALANCING Pore-Reducing
Toner helps balance skin with
antioxidants and hydrating
ceramides, making oily areas less
noticeable and skin more even,
smooth, moisturized, and
protected. It is an essential step in
any skincare routine to renew skin
after cleansing. Can also help
remove the last traces of makeup.
EXTRA SUGGESTIONS
(Includes sunscreen, mist, essence, and serum)

1. Face Mist (for extra hydration or

quick pick-me-up):
- Avéne Thermal Spring Water
- Bio-Essence Miracle Bio Water
- Caudalie Grape Water

2. Sunscreen
- Sunprise Must Daily
SPF50+/PA+++

- Kiehls UltraLight Daily UV Defense

SPF 50 PA++++ (Since you are
considering it, I think it looks nice
on paper, pi lah beli then bagi
review hewhew)

Sunscreen ni basically make sure SPF50, PA dia at least +++ then okay
lah. Also pls pakai religiously every day. Nak gi café ke GUC ke jemur
kain ke mohon pakai.
 3. Serum
You got yours already
but have you heard of
the brand The
Ordinary? Freaking
interesting. Go google
about them and read
their reviews. They also
have exfoliants macam
AHA and BHA (which I
think would be nice if you have them in your skincare routine)

4. Essence
Missha, IOPE, Cosrx, Secret Key,
Mizon (all these brands ada
essence) Good for giving your
skin that extra glow, hydration,
pudarkan dark spot. I suggest
you untuk add essence in your
routine.
5. Sheet Masks
- SEP Sheet Masks
- Naruko (cult favourite)

Sheet masks you can use

every day but I suggest
guna seminggu dua-tiga
kali. Sheet mask is fun, each
mask target different skin
problem sambil add
moisture and hydration.
Not to mention its relaxing
af.

Okay I’m done here. Hahaha. Jangan mengata. Disclaimer! Some of

the stuff here are stuff that I have tried and somehow works for my
skin. Some I read and take from blogs/ websites. Each skin is
different so what works for me might not for you and vice versa. I
think your routine is fine already. It’s all about experimenting. My
skin right now have these white spots which I don’t know what and
is stressing me out so my skin is not flawless and I’m NO EXPERT. BYE
GIRL GOOD LUCK!
