Hi nashie, sorry for the late reply. I usually clean my face with mild soap(with no scent), sometimes I use korean brands for cleansing, then I apply aqua essence after. I drink lots of water(it really keeps your skin hydrated), and good sleep. I also give my facial skin some rest days- rest days meaning, I don’t apply make up at all. This is to give time for your skin to breathe. 🙂
