My Simple Skin Steps

Beauty Hacks

I have always enjoyed skincare routines that feel like a small moment of self-care rather than another task on my to-do list. I usually prefer products that are easy to use, comfortable on my skin and fit naturally into my everyday routine.

Recently, I have been trying different toners, toner pads and eye care products, and these are the ones that caught my attention the most.

1. My Toner Pad Routine

Toner pads have become one of those skincare steps that I enjoy adding when I want something quick but still relaxing. Medicube Zero Pore Pad, Medicube PDRN Pink Collagen Toner Pad and Anua Glow Pad all give me slightly different experiences, so I like choosing between them depending on how my skin feels that day.

I usually use toner pads after cleansing, either gently wiping them across my skin or leaving them on certain areas for a few extra moments. What I like about this type of product is the convenience — it feels like an easy extra step when I want my routine to feel a little more special. The Medicube pads feel refreshing, while the Anua Glow Pad gives me a softer, more hydrated feeling. I found that toner pads are especially enjoyable on busy mornings when I still want to take care of my skin without adding too many steps.

2. Eye Creams I Keep Reaching For

Eye care is one step I used to skip quite often, but recently I have started paying more attention to this area. I tried numbuzin PDRN Eye Cream, SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Bakuchiol Eye Cream and Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum because I wanted something comfortable that would be easy to include in my evening routine.

I usually apply a small amount around my eye area after the rest of my skincare. I like that these products have different textures — some feel richer, while others are lighter and easier to layer. For me, the best part about eye products is not making my routine complicated, but having a small step that feels gentle and enjoyable. I noticed that I prefer formulas that blend easily and do not leave my skin feeling heavy.

3. My Everyday Toners

Toners are probably one of my favourite skincare steps because they set the mood for the rest of my routine. Anua Rice 70 Glow Milky Toner, numbuzin PDRN Glow Boosting Toner and EQQUALBERRY Swimming Pool Toner each have their own personality, and I like choosing depending on what my skin seems to need.

I usually apply toner with my hands and gently press it into my skin because I enjoy taking a few extra seconds during this step. The Anua toner has a comfortable milky texture, while the numbuzin toner feels like a more interesting addition when I want to change my routine. EQQUALBERRY has a lightweight feeling that works nicely when I want something simple. I like that toners can completely change how the rest of my skincare feels without making the routine longer.

After trying these products, I realised that my favourite skincare routines are still the simplest ones. A few products that feel comfortable and enjoyable are often enough to make everyday skincare feel like a small personal ritual.
