“A beauty expert told me that when you wake up you have a lot of great natural oils on your face, and you shouldn’t strip that all away with a cleanser, especially if you went to bed with good products on your skin”
Jenni Lee, the founder and designer behind luxury sock brand Comme Si, recognizes that she’s lucky not to have any “serious skin-care issues” but still deals with dryness and cystic acne. She turns to COSRX acne patches to treat those pesky areas, but the rest of her routine is inspired by her mom. “For my 14th birthday, my mom gifted me a Clarins set that included separate creams for day and night, and a toner,” says Lee.
$13 for 2 at Ulta Beauty Buy Then I Met You Cleansing Duo “I was introduced to this product by my friend Charlotte, who started the brand. I have always been a fan of the double cleanse, so this was a natural product to add to my routine. The first step is an oil-based cleanser, and the second is a water-based cleanser. I love the texture of the balm, which has ingredients like seaberry oil, grape-seed oil, and olive oil in it.
$205 at Nordstrom Buy Sunday Riley A+ High-Dose Retinoid Serum “This is the serum I use at night. It’s a stabilized retinoid product, meaning it’s more effective and less harsh than other retinoid products out there. To get scientific, the active ingredient that our skin cells react to is called retinoic acid, the purest form of which is available in prescription topicals — which are effective but also pretty harsh on the skin.
“Sometimes I’ll switch this step for an essence, which goes on before serum to help absorb it. My skin is naturally dry, so I need to make an effort to use products that provide as much hydration as possible. I grew up watching my mom ‘pat’ her skin with essence and hydrating water formulas like this one. I remember thinking it was excessive at the time, but now I swear by the patting application. Similar to the face massager, patting helps stimulate blood circulation.
