Korean skincare is about promoting the overall well-being of the skin, rather than seeking quick fixes. Unlike the Western world, where the focus is often on finding the latest and most effective ingredient or product, skincare in Korea is seen as part of a daily health routine that starts at a young age.

The skin is kept in good condition by maintaining its balance and health, for example with careful double cleansing, moisturizing toners that gives the skin the first dose of moisture, as well as regular use of sunscreen. Lines and wrinkles are prevented long before they occur, with the help of a gentle and long-term “well-aging” routine.

The Korean skincare routine includes the following steps:

1. Makeup removal with an oil-based cleansing product
2. Facial cleansing with a water-based cleansing product
3. Peeling
4. Toner
5. Mask (applicable or sheet mask)
6. Essence, serum and ampoule
7. Eye cream
8. Face cream
9. Night masks and lip masks
10. Sunscreen

However, not all steps are meant to be done in a single routine or even within a day; this refers to an overall routine for taking care of the skin. Products and steps are adapted to the skin's needs and, of course, your own preferences.
