SOKO GLAM: Haul + Skincare Routine

Soko Glam

Skincare first. Snail mucin. Bee venom. Egg white. Green tea. Ginseng extract. Honey skin. Truffles. Lotus extract. Yasss! You know I’m talking about Korean skincare. Love me some K-beauty with their whimsical, colorful, cartoony packaging and unique ingredients. That’s why I’m thrilled to share with you my latest K-beauty haul from Soko Glam.

Soko Glam is the Sephora of Korean skincare and they are currently having a massive 30% off sale. It’s a great time to stock up on Christmas gifts and stocking stuffers. I buy sheet masks, toners, and essences during their sales. Also, it’s just fun to shop around on their site and discover new ‘holy grail’ skincare items. I’m always on the hunt for products with sui generis ingredients that will give me flawless, dewy skin.

Below are the Korean skincare products I purchased from Soko Glam. Plus, I’ll show you how I’ve integrated them into my current skincare routine.

ACWELL Licorice pH Cleansing Toner

$18 | 😍 This toner has a pH level of 5.5 to effectively balance your skin. It contains peony extract, licorice water, and green tea extract. These ingredients help brighten the skin and reduce pigmentation. I’ve been using this Acwell licorice toner for a couple of weeks now in the evenings, and I like it a lot, I don’t regret this purchase. It is a fragrance free product, but I think because of the ingredients there is a slight medicinal scent, but it’s not overwhelming. It is hydrating, affordable, brightening, calming, and effective. I will purchase this toner again.

SHEET MASKS: Korean Beauty

$2.50 | Snail Bee High Content Mask by Benton | 😒 Did not like this sheet mask, and I will not ever purchase this one again. Thankfully this sheet mask did not irritate my skin. It was inconvenient to put on because it is shaped weird, this mask was not shaped for a human face. I wasn’t really impressed with the serum, and I didn’t notice a big difference in my skin the next morning. At least this sheet mask was cheap.

$3.00 | Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Sheet Mask | 😍 LOVE. I’m going to stock up on these Klairs sheet mask. They are fragrance free and contain skin calming ingredients like willow bark and centella asiatica extracts. This sheet mask is gentle on skin, calming, cooling, and hydrating. They’re made from bamboo charcoal to draw out impurities from pores, which helps if you have issues with large pores. I’ve only used this product one time, so I can’t say it literally transformed my skin, but it impressed me enough that I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase these again in the future.

NEOGEN Real Ferment Micro Essence Treatment

$38 | 😍 This is an essence that contains 93% naturally fermented ingredients, bifida ferment lysate & 28% saccharomyces ferment filtrate. It also contains 17% birch juice and 9% rice extracts. In layman’s terms, this powerful elixir contains ingredients that help brighten, illuminate and deliver moisture to your skin. This potent essence leaves me with silky, glowing skin and I’m so glad that I added this fragrance-free product to my skincare routine. I splash this on my face and neck as soon as I get out of the shower.

SON & PARK Cleansing Beauty Water and Skin Toner

$30 |👍 I pour a little bit of this on a cotton pad and swipe it all over my face and neck in the mornings. Then I jump into the shower and rinse it all off. That’s it. I don’t use any other cleansers, but I do follow this step with the Neogen essence shown above. I’m not absolutely sure If I will purchase this beauty water in the future, still on the fence on this one. It has a slight fragrance, it’s light, and it feels nice on my skin. Not super crazy about the price, but it is a nice sized product. Gotta be honest, I guess I could probably live without this product, but I don’t regret purchasing it. It is considered a ‘holy grail’ product in Korean beauty, so I’m glad I tried it for myself, but it’s not a holy grail product for me.

AM Skincare Routine

I don’t like to use a cleanser in the morning. I use the Beauty Water on my face and neck to wipe off any gunk and to wake my face up. Then I rinse it all off in the shower. As soon as I get out of the shower I use the Neogen essence on my face and neck. And then I proceed with all the other steps of my skincare routine as shown above.

PM Skincare Routine

In the evening I tend to integrate more of the k-beauty products. I start off with the cleansing balm, then I use the Acwell toner, followed by the Neogen serum and sheet masks. It’s a lot easier for me to use the essence and beauty water in the mornings and save the toner and all the other good stuff for the evening.

THEN I MET YOU Living Cleansing Balm

$38 | 😍😍😍 This is a fabulous and effective cleansing BOMB balm. I don’t regret this purchase. I will most definitely purchase this one again in the future. I’m not crazy about the price, and unfortunately, this balm doesn’t ever go on sale. This balm takes off all my makeup, you only need about a quarter size amount, and it leaves my skin glowing. This is not stripping at all. The very first time I used this I noticed a difference, my skin was glowing after a single use. I’ve used other balms in the past, and I’ve liked them, but no other balms have left me with glowing skin like this one has…yasssss. This product is a 12x award winning product, it is super hyped, and I can honestly say that it does live up to the hype. It contains Sea buckthorn, Persimmon Extract, Olive Oil, Vitamin E which leave my skin feeling smooth, silky and moisturized. I only use this at night to take my makeup off, and then I wash it off with my Cerave cleanser.

NEOGEN Ferment Micro Serum

$38 | 👍 This is a very smooth and hydrating serum. I like it a lot. It has a gooey and sticky consistency, but it sinks into my skin fast, and leaves me with a gorgeous glow. I don’t regret purchasing it. My skin feels plump, dewy and soft when I use this serum. I have a lot of ‘holy grail’ serums, unfortunately this is not one of them, I like it, but I don’t think I’ll ever purchase it again at this price range. I’m glad I tried it though.
