Korean Skincare

Korean skincare is about promoting the overall well-being of the skin, rather than seeking quick fixes. Unlike in 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 toner that gives the skin an initial dose of moisture, as well as regular use of sunscreen. Lines are prevented long before they appear, with the help of a gentle and long-termwell-agingroutine.

Steps in the Korean skincare 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. Exfoliation
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 in one 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.
