A 51-year-old Korean-American mother who went viral for her flawless skin has revealed exactly what she does to maintain her stunning and youthful looks – detailing her ‘best kept secret from the Far East.’
The skincare hacks were shared by her daughter, Tina, a Seoul-based cooking content creator who has amassed over one million followers on social media under the username @doobydobap.
Tina often makes videos sharing her delicious recipes, cuisines of different cultures in different cities, and even what it’s like in a Korean Costco.
However, in this video shared in January on Instagram Reels, Tina focused on her mother, detailing her exact steps for getting gorgeous skin.

‘In my last video, I received a ton of requests for my mom to drop her skincare routine,’ Tina explained in the beginning of the clip, as she showed a close-up of her mom’s radiant complexion.
‘So today, the real slim Mama Dooby is unveiling the best kept secret from the Far East, how Asians don’t raisin,’ she continued.
The content creator revealed that her mom follows a 10-step, anti-aging Korean skincare routine at night, and abides by one important tip.
To kick things off, Tina’s mom uses an oil-based makeup cleanser, specifically the Ma:nyo Pure Cleansing Oil, to take off any leftover makeup or sunscreen from the day.
‘She follows up with an alkaline-based cleanser for a double cleanse, ensuring that all the residual gunk is washed away,’ Tina continued.
Mama Dooby, as her daughter calls her, uses the Stridex Foam Cleanser to wash up.
After cleansing, she then uses a niacinamide serum from cult-favorite brand, Paula’s Choice.
‘Next, niacinamide to prevent discoloration and for its anti-inflammatory purpose,’ she explained.

‘Then, it’s retinol for that anti-aging boost, a moisturizing mask comes in accompanied by a microcurrent facial toning device to enhance absorption.’
Tina detailed that for these steps, her mom uses The Ordinary’s Retinol 0.5% Squalene serum, the Re’ Juice True Rose of Jericho moisturizing mask, and the Centellian 24 Madeca Prime Facial Toning Device, which retails for $300.
For those who may not be familiar, microcurrent devices are often used to work out the facial muscles, per Shape, and give the face a slimmed-down look. She then rinses it off.
To top off the extensive routine, her mom applies a hyaluronic acid serum – the Histolab Hyaluron Complex Ampoule 62%, to be specific, along with the Sisley Paris Ecological Compound.
Finally, she finishes off with two hydrating creams, the Rajeunir Matrixyl Cream and the Zeroid Intensive Rich Cream.
Tina explained that these hydrating creams are used to ‘form a protective barrier for overnight skin hydration.’
But her mother’s most important tip? Getting a good night’s rest.
‘Get at least eight hours of sleep every night, and there you have it,’ Tina said. ‘The secrets behind my mom’s youthful skin.’
‘Can you explain that my mom is hitting 52 soon?’ she concluded. ‘Maybe that explains why.’
