This three-pronged approach to minimize flare-ups is also a great way to keep skin from aging prematurely

You wouldn’t know from looking at her dewy, poreless skin, but Yoon also has eczema. From personal knowledge and years of experience, Yoon has cultivated a Korean beauty routine that soothes the red, itchy, sensitive skin of an eczema sufferer. In her own words, here’s her routine and why it works.
Over the years, including after becoming a licensed New York esthetician and working with a lot of clients who also struggle with eczema, I found a three-pronged approach to skin care could profoundly help a lot of other people with eczema-riddled skin. Cleansers My routine consists of double-cleansing in the morning and in the evening. Even though I have dry skin, I double cleanse in the mornings as well but use just the tiniest bit of both cleansers. It’s also because I use night creams that are oil-based so I want to remove these before applying my morning routine. Toxin-filled sebum is produced while sleeping and it’s important to cleanse that off to prevent free-radical damage.
I’ve advised my clients to stick to a gentle double-cleansing method AM and PM and this alone has yielded really profound improvements to skin — it can be one of the easiest and fastest ways to see major improvement. It’s definitely worth trying! If I’m combating dark spots , I use the Femmue Lumiére Vital C Serum. It’s only 2 percent vitamin C so very gentle and non-drying, and the beautiful formula keeps my dark spots away and refines texture.
Peach Slices Citrus-Honey Aqua Glow $12 at Peach & Lily Buy Exfoliators I exfoliate twice a week and for that I use a few different products. My go-to is the Be the Skin Non-stimulus Face Polisher as it gently, gently buffs skin and reveals baby-soft skin. I’ll alternate at times with the Eco Your Skin Lavender Bedside Mask that uses a chemical exfoliant but is combined with calming lavender in a skin-comforting light creamy sleeping mask so that skin’s never left dry.
