Laneige Skincare Routine - Raincouver Beauty

I am SO excited to finally bring this post to you! It’s literally been in the works for 6 months but the darn products are so hard to photograph that every time I finish taking photos, I’m unhappy with them and haven’t been able to post!

I’m still not super happy with how some of the photos turned out but I really wanted to share my full night time skincare routine using Laneige products. I first heard of the brand 5 years ago when I lived in Hong Kong on exchange. I even bought the cult favorite Water Sleeping Mask home with me. However, I had no where to buy more of their products but now Sephora Canada carries them (yay K-Beauty craze!). Now, I’m so lucky to be working with them and received these products to try out.

I’ll be taking you through all the steps of my skincare routine, although obviously I wouldn’t use all of these products every single night. But hopefully you’ll find some products that’ll fit in to your own routine!

Step 1: Cleansing

I love micellar water as it’s so easy and fast. If you wear minimal makeup on an every day basis, you would enjoy the Laneige Vitamin Brightening Cleansing Water. This is the same idea as micellar water where you soak a cotton pad and wipe across your skin. The product removes makeup and any impurities from your skin and you don’t need to wash your face after! This product has a pump dispenser and a really nice light fruity scent.

It is suppose to brighten the complexion over use, as it includes Vitamin B, C and superberry extract. But this part of the claim, I’m not too sure about.

If you tend to wear heavier makeup including liquid lipsticks and waterproof mascara, the Laneige Lip & Eye Makeup Remover might be a better fit. This product has the classic two part and you’ll need to shake it to mix up the ingredients prior to using. It doesn’t leave you greasy but it also doesn’t leave you feeling clean so I definitely would still want to either wash my face or use the Cleansing Water. It is really good though for removing stubborn makeup!

Step 2: Mask

I used to only use sheet masks as they are so relaxing but I find them not to be so effective. I have really dry skin so I was surprised when I enjoyed the Laneige Mini Pore Waterclay Mask so much! This clay based mask dries down in about 10 mins and draws out impurities. If you enjoy seeing the clay holes on your skin, this is the product for you. I find my skin feels much smoother after using and the result is immediate!

A lot of other clay masks have a funky smell but this one doesn’t! Also its slightly cooling when you first put it on and feels very refreshing. The wash off process does take a while but still better than most clay masks I’ve tried. The product includes a sponge to help remove the mask but I think it would be too dirty to reuse. My trick is to do these masks before I shower and I can just rinse it all off in the shower.

Side note, this is the photo I took almost 6 months ago. I’ve used up so much since then!

For a more nourishing mask, the Laneige Multiberry Yogurt Repairing Mask is your pick. I love the light pink packaging and it definitely smells lightly of fruit. The product contains yogurt and various berry extracts. The mask doesn’t dry on the skin and stays moist. It feels very relaxing but I don’t usually see any results from using it.

Step 3: Treat

Adding a serum to your routine can really help improve your skin with whatever trouble you have. The key is to make sure to use it before moisturizer. Serums usually are made so that they can penetrate the skin better than moisturizers. So whatever is in your serum can be a lot more effective at treating skincare issues than moisturizers. I liked the consistency of the Laneige Water Bank Serum, it was quite light and thin and sank in very easily. The product is formulated with hydro ionized mineral water and contains zinc, magnesium, manganese, potassium, calcium and sodium. I liked how this felt on the skin but I didn’t notice a big difference in my skin from using this.

Step 4: Moisturize

I have very dry skin so I love a thick moisturizer in the winter time. I’ve been using the Laneige Water Bank Ultra Moisture Cream. The texture of this is really interesting. When you first scoop it out, it is quite thick and almost feels crumbly. But once you start smoothing it on to your skin, it softens up and spreads nicely. It is definitely a thicker cream though but not greasy at all. And I love that when I wake up my skin feels super supple.

Here is a swatch of the Water Bank Ultra Moisture Cream and the Water Bank Serum.

Step 5: Beauty Sleep

Lastly, Laneige has a few products to keep working while you sleep. One of them is the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask. I love the light fruity scent on this and it is very moisturizing. However, I don’t like lip balms in containers as I think it’s unsanitary and I don’t like digging my fingers in. The product did come with a plastic scoop but I still also have trouble keeping the scoop clean.

Lastly, I have the Water Sleeping Pack which has a jelly texture and magically resurfaces smoothly. It feels cooling and hydrating on the skin and I like to use it when my skin is extremely irritated. But I don’t use it super consistently as I don’t like having a layer of product on my face in case I smear it all over my pillowcase and sheets. This is one of their best selling products though and I would even say the claim to fame!

Overall I’m a huge fan of the brand as I feel it exudes the fresh youthful Korean feel, and we all know Koreans are the best at skincare! I also like that the price points are set to be accessible by a large audience as most of these products are in the $30-40 range! My favorites are the Cleansing Water, Mini Pore Waterclay Mask, and the Water Bank Ultra Moisture Cream.
