Introducing BOJ's Green Summer Routine
Experience refreshed, clean skin this summer with our top picks.
No matter how you cleanse your face with expensive cleansers or apply so-called skin-perfecting serums and moisturizers, the summer heat and humidity can diminish the effectiveness of your usual skincare routine. Your skin can easily become irritated and damaged by UV rays and high temperatures, while the pores enlarge during the summer season. This is probably why our skin becomes so fickle and sensitive around this time. And that’s why we need sebum-controlling, light-textured skincare more than ever. Luckily, we offer a full skincare routine with our refreshing green products, along with some helpful skincare tips. If you have combination or oily skin, this routine might be your new summer favorite.

Cleanse Thoroughly
It’s always a good idea to start your skincare routine with a mild cleanser. Remember, every skincare routine begins with a thorough cleansing to get your skin ready for the rest of the routine.
Green Plum Refreshing Cleanser is a mildly acidic cleanser, perfect for both your AM and PM routine, with skin-soothing green plum extract. The 24% green plum water clears the skin without irritation. It creates a hydrating foam when it comes into contact with water, effectively washing away dirt and oil from the surface of your face.
Exfoliate your skin
After cleansing, applying a toner creates a helpful moisture barrier. The Green Plum Refreshing Toner: AHA + BHA contains 25% green plum water and 2% green bean, along with both glycolic and salicylic acid.
This toner exfoliates unnecessary dead skin cells that clog the surface of your skin while providing moisture inside your pores. Some products containing exfoliating substances like AHA or BHA are not recommended for everyday use, but the Green Plum Refreshing Toner can be used daily, both in the morning and at night, because of its soothing formula.
Hydration, and hydration only
If you are someone that has to deal with acne, especially during the summer, it might be a sign that your skin needs more hydration. Hydration and acne might seem unrelated, but a lack of hydration may cause your skin to excrete more oil and sebum to try to protect itself. As a result, your skin becomes more and more oily without you even putting moisturizing serum or cream on.
Calming Serum : Green Tea + Panthenol contains vitamin B5 and green tea leaf water, creating a perfect hydrator for your toasty summer skin. This oil-free serum will provide amazing refreshment and hydration without oiliness, while the green tea leaf water gently soothes irritation.
Glow up with vitamin C
Not only sebum secretion, but also the production of melanin increases during the summer due to high levels of exposure to UV rays, causing hyperpigmentation.
Light On Serum : Centella + Vita C contains a vitamin C derivative named 3-O ethyl ascorbic acid to gently fade pigmentation away without irritating the skin. This vitamin C derivative is relatively more soothing than pure vitamin C, allowing sensitive skin to adjust more easily to it and enhance the skin’s overall condition. Also, 68% Centella Asiatica extract gently comforts the skin and provides moisture, creating a glowing and more luminous skin tone. The gel-like consistency of Light On Serum is perfect if you need a touch more hydration before wearing makeup.
Set a matte and
refreshing finish
Aiming for matte-finished skin can be the right move for oily skin to avoid greasiness during summer. Matte Sun Stick : Mugwort + Camelia instantly sets up a refreshing finish with its sebum-controlling silica powder. Green mugwort extract has a cooling property and has been used as therapeutic medicine to lower body temperature in oriental medicine, making it the perfect main ingredient for your go-to sunscreen.
Finishing up the AM skincare routine with an sunscreen is always a must, and Matte Sun Stick, with its high UVA and UVB protection levels, can work both as a mattifying makeup primer and a sunscreen. With its nicely portable size, you can easily bring it everywhere while you’re on vacation.
Conclusion
Let’s recap, a well-rounded summer skincare routine starts with a thorough cleansing using a mild, hydrating cleanser like our Green Plum Refreshing Cleanser. Follow this up with Green Plum Refreshing Toner to exfoliate and moisturize your skin. Keeping your skin hydrated and enhancing its glow with the right products is key to enduring the sweltering summer weather. Finally, achieve a refreshing matte finish with the Matte Sun Stick : Mugwort + Camelia, which not only provides essential sun protection but also controls sebum, making it perfect for on-the-go use during the summer.
This comprehensive green routine ensures your skin remains clear, hydrated, and protected throughout this hot and humid season. Let the calming effects of green bring radiance to your skin!
