Korean skincare

Korean skincare focuses on the overall well-being of the skin, rather than seeking quick fixes. While Western countries often look for the newest and most effective ingredient or product, Korean skincare starts as part of daily health habits from a very young age.

The skin is well cared for, its balance and health supported, for example, by careful double cleansing, favoring moisturizing toners, which provide the skin with its first dose of moisture and, of course, sunscreens. Wrinkles are prevented long before they even appear, with gentle and consistent well age routine.

Steps of the Korean skincare routine

The Korean skincare routine includes these steps: 

1. Makeup removal oil-based cleansing product 
2. Skin cleansing water-based cleansing product
3. Exfoliation
4. Toner
5. Mask (spreadable or sheet mask i.e., sheet mask)
6. Essence, serum, and ampoule
7. Eye cream
8. Moisturizer
9. Sleeping masks and lip masks
10. Sunscreen

However, not all steps are meant to be done in one routine or even in one day; this refers to a comprehensive routine to care for the skin. Products and steps are adapted according to the skin's needs and, of course, personal preference. Read more about the Korean skincare routine.
