How I Tamed My Oily, Acne-Prone Skin with Korean Skincare! | Hema from Pune
Hey beauties! Hema here from Pune . As someone who battled oily skin and stubborn acne for years, I get the struggle. Monsoon humidity? Pollution? My skin used to freak out! But Korean skincare changed everything. Unlike harsh Western products, K-beauty focuses on gentle, layered hydration that balances oil without stripping moisture. Today, I’m sharing my tried-and-tested Korean skincare routine — the exact products that gave me clear, glow-y skin!
My 6-Step Korean Skincare Routine for Oily, Acne-Prone Skin
1️⃣ Deep Yet Gentle Double Cleanse
Pune’s dust + pollution = clogged pores! I start with the Korean Glass Mild Pre-cleanser to melt away grime and sunscreen. Followed by the Korean Glass Face Wash, it cleans deep without that tight, squeaky feel. Perfect for oily skin!
2️⃣ Smooth & Prevent Breakouts with Exfoliation
Dead skin cells trapped oil and caused my acne. Enter the Korean Exfoliating Gel! Used 2–3 times weekly, it sloughs off buildup and boosts cell turnover. Pro tip: Gentle exfoliation = fewer breakouts!
3️⃣ Reset Skin’s pH Post-Cleansing
Hard water in Pune messed with my skin’s balance. The Korean Neutralizing Pack is my savior! It calms redness and neutralizes pH so serums absorb better.
4️⃣ Glow On-The-Go with Medi-Facials
When my skin felt dull and stressed (hello, work deadlines!), the Korean Glow Medi-Facial Kit saved me. It’s a brightening, hydrating treatment that feels like a spa day! For extra oomph, I pair it with the Korean Glow Medi-Facial Kit + Korean Skin Care Combo — game-changer for dehydrated yet oily skin!
5️⃣ Non-Comedogenic Night Repair
I avoided night creams for years… until the Korean Glow Night Maintenance Cream. It’s lightweight, non-pore-clogging, and repairs my skin overnight. Wake up plump, not oily!
6️⃣ Hydration Without Heaviness
Oily skin NEEDS hydration too! My holy grail? The CTSMS + Korean Glow Night Maintenance Cream for All Skin Types Ultra Hydration Combo. It’s weightless, deeply nourishing, and controls shine.
Final Thoughts from Hema
Consistency + the right products = happy skin! This Korean skincare routine taught me to work with my oily, acne-prone skin — not against it. Now, I get compliments on my glow (even in Pune’s humidity!). Stick to gentle, pH-balanced formulas, and you’ll see fewer breakouts, balanced oil, and that coveted K-beauty radiance!
