Saranghae 5 Step Anti Aging Routine

I love testing out new products, and over the years I’ve tried numerous different skincare routines – but I have yet to find something that actually provides results. I have naturally oily skin, so putting any type of lotion or cream on my face at night will cause me to wake up with super oily skin which makes me break out. I had pretty much stopped moisturizing at all (I know, that’s so bad!) So when Saranghae reached out to me about trying their products, I was pretty excited to try them out. Besides, it’s never too early to start preventing wrinkles right?!

So what is Saranghae?

Saranghae is an award winning, revolutionary Korean 5 step anti-aging skin care routine designed to directly address the root causes that lead to unhealthy, damaged and aging skin. Saranghae achieves this by addressing 3 distinct phases (heal, regenerate, and protect) The word “saranghae” actually means “I love you” in Korean!

I’ve been following the 5 step routine every night before bed for about a month now. And yes, 5 steps may seem like a lot.. but only takes me about 2 minutes to go through the whole routine. The face mask is only once per week, and it’s a perfect way to enjoy a little at home pampering each week.

So here is an overview of my experience with each of the 5 steps:

Step 1: Nourishing + Moisturizing cleanser

Cleansing daily is a must for me, especially after a long day of wearing makeup at work. I was surprised that this cleanser was oil based, and didn’t have much of a lather at all. I’ve always avoided oil based products because as I mentioned already, my skin is oily to begin with. This cleanser turned out to be gentle but effective, and the smell reminds me of a spa. Super relaxing!

Step 2: Deep Radiance Essence + Serum

Another oil based product, but this serum is said to balance your skin’s pH level to prevent flair ups, inflammation, and break outs. I use a tiny amount on my face after cleansing, and while it does make my skin feel oily at first, it soaks in pretty quickly.

Step 3: Focus Renewal Eye Cream

The eye cream is probably my favorite step from the routine. Like I mentioned, I’ve only been using it for a weeks, but I can already notice a difference in how my eyes look in the morning. Dark circles and puffiness are gone, and my skin is visibly more hydrated around my eyes.

Step 4: Firm + Lift Cellular Regeneration Cream

The face cream is the last step that I do before I go to sleep. The cream is super light, and I only need to use a small amount to cover my whole face. I love that it doesn’t feel too heavy on my skin and it doesn’t feel oily at all. It also smells really nice!

Step 5: Elemental Essence Mask (1x per week)

The mask is like a cloth with holes cut out for your face, and all you need to do is place it on your face for about 15-20 minutes and then take it off. I put the mask on after using the cleanser so my face is nice and clean. It feels a little slimy, but that is just the mixture of botanicals that are working to beautify your skin! I leave the mask on for about 20 minutes, and after I take it off I rub in what’s left on my face from the mask and leave it on overnight so that it really absorbs.

Overall thoughts and experience:

Although I was a little worried at first that so many products in this routine are oil based, I’m actually really happy with the results I’ve seen in just a month. My skin feels more hydrated, and I’ve especially noticed a difference around my eyes. My skin appears more even toned, and I haven’t broken out at all. If you are looking for a high quality, reasonably priced, easy to use skincare routine – I would recommend this for you.

Thank you to Saranghae for sending me these products to try! As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own and are 100% honest. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions on the routine!
