The Well Series Kelley Johnson's Favorites

You asked, I promised. Here’s my everyday skincare routine — the products I actually use and love. From gentle cleansers to glow-boosting serums and SPF that works under makeup, these are my go-tos for feeling confident in my own skin.

As a general rule of thumb, I gravitate towards Korean skincare products because they are usually vegan with high-quality ingredients that balance nature and science.

The complete guide to my skincare routine. I use products geared towards my normal-to-oily skin. I will make alternate suggestions for those of you who tend to run dry or very oily.

I'M SPILLING ALL THE TEA

24K Gold Under Eye Collagen Gel Pads

Pop these collagen enriched under eye masks to reduce puffiness and dark circles. Packs well for traveling!

Cleanse. Tone. Treat. Protect.

my a.m. routine

K-beauty skincare routine by Kelley Johnson featuring Korean cleansers, toners, serums, and moisturizers for glowing skin.

You will notice a trend. I am obsessed with rice-based skincare products. They are naturally anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, brightening, photo-protective, and moisturizing.

This moisturizer packs an SPF 50, hyaluronic acid and Korean rice. So many benefits in one product! If your skin is oily, wear a loose or pressed powder to control shine.

This lightweight serum features chaga mushrooms and helps tighten and lift skin. I love that it's not greasy so I can use in the AM under make-up.

blithe pressed serum

Super high-quality Korean rice toner makes my skin super soft and lightly moisturized. If your skin runs dry, use this as your evening toner.

Gently exfoliates so that dark spots fade. Helps with cell turnover so that fine lines are reduced. Cell turnover reduces as we age, so exfoliating is key!

9 Wishes rice foaming cleanser

Cleanse. Tone. Nourish. Hydrate.

my P.m. routine

My nighttime skincare routine is different because I look for products that will remove make-up and all the environmental impurities from my day. This is also a good time to use heavy duty products to help repair and renew overnight.

I have found that rotating my products between A.M. and P.M. also allows me to target different issues, while optimizing my skin's responsiveness to products.

Don't let the bargain price fool you! This gel mask is ultra hydrating and loaded with collagen which boosts plumpness and makes skin glow. Love this!

The Creme Shop 2X Collagen

Retinol is a must-have in your anti-aging routine. It reduces fine lines and wrinkles and helps with cell turnover. Be sure to follow instructions on label.

COSRX Retinol 0.5 Oil with Vitamin E

Thanks to the alpha and beta hydroxy acids, this toner exfoliates and purifies. Tea tree and salicylic acid help control oil and prevent blemishes. Great for girls with oily skin!

Some By Mi Toner with AHA/BHA

Shiseido is a 150 year old Japanese brand known for high-end quality. Lightly foaming cleanser does a great job of removing make-up. I find it helps control breakouts too.
