Ultimate Guide to Korean Skin Care

Double Cleansing

Start with an oil-based cleanser to remove makeup and sunscreen, followed by a water-based cleanser to cleanse the skin thoroughly without stripping.

Toner

Apply a hydrating toner to balance skin pH levels and prep the skin to absorb subsequent products.

Essence

Essence is a lightweight, hydrating liquid that helps with skin renewal and enhances absorption of serums and moisturizers.

Serum/Ampoule

Target specific skin concerns with potent serums or ampoules containing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, or snail mucin.

Sheet Masks

Use sheet masks infused with serums to deliver concentrated nutrients and hydration to the skin. Leave on for 15-20 minutes.

Eye Cream

Apply a small amount of eye cream to hydrate and address concerns like dark circles or puffiness.

Moisturizer

Use a moisturizer suitable for your skin type to lock in hydration and nourishment.

Sunscreen

Finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day to protect against UV damage.
