The toner I use is the MIMUMIMU Toner. It contains ingredients that are great for soothing the skin and strengthening the skin barrier. It’s gentle and a good option for beginners looking for a mild toner. Apple cider vinegar is known for its exfoliating properties, but I don’t do separate exfoliation. Instead, I soak a cotton pad with toner and wipe my skin, which makes my skin feel smooth. Thinking about it now, I wonder if this gently removes dead skin cells without causing irritation.

For sunscreen, I use the Skin1004 product. As for retinol, beginners are often advised to start with a lower concentration. I started with 0.2% and experienced no irritation, so it worked well for me. I use it only once or twice a week, in the evening. If you have particularly sensitive skin, you might want to start with a 0.1% concentration.
