Korean Beauty The Famous 10-Step Skincare Routine

Oil Cleaner:

Oil-based cleansers remove makeup, sunscreen, and excess oil. Cleanse dry skin with lukewarm water.

Water-Based Cleaner:

Cleanse the skin again with a water-based cleanser. This step cleanses without removing skin oils.

Exfoliation

Exfoliate 1-2 times a week to remove dead skin and boost cell turnover. Avoid irritation with a light exfoliant.

Toner:

Hydrating toners regulate pH and prepare skin for product absorption.

Essence:

Essence, a lightweight, moisturizing solution, prepares the skin to receive nutrients from other treatments.

Ampoule or serum:

Use serums or ampoules for brightening, anti-aging, or hydration. Concentrated formulations offer strong nutrients to skin.

Sheet Mask

Sheet masks provide strong hydration and nourishing 1-2 times a week. Essence-soaked sheet masks give concentrated substances to the skin.

Eye Cream

To reduce fine wrinkles, dark circles, and puffiness, apply a little eye cream.

Moisturizer:

Apply a skin-type-appropriate moisturizer to lock in moisture and keep skin supple.

Morning sunscreen:

To prevent premature aging and UV damage, finish your morning routine with sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher).
