J-Hope's skincare routine always has a foaming cleanser. While this might be slightly stripping for people with dry skin, it is a blessing for those with oily skin type. A foaming face wash is soft on the skin and removes all the excess oil and grime.

Hobi is known to have oily skin, so a foaming cleanser sits perfectly in his skincare routine. As such, if someone has a dry skin type, they can simply replace the foaming face wash with a gentle or creamy cleanser.


2) Toner

When choosing a sunscreen, ensure it is comfortable to wear and does not leave a white cast. These are the leading reasons people avoid sunscreen. If someone finds a formulation that they enjoy, sunscreen reapplication won't feel like a task.


7) Lip balm

Lips have a tendency to dry out and they get chapped easily. Thus, to keep one's lips at their best, lip balms and lip masks are a must. Additionally, there are lip balms with a tint for when someone wants to add some color to their lips.


8) Sheet masks
