Step-by-Step Guide to a Korean Skincare Routine

Now that you have an idea of the Korean skincare routine and the main ingredients used, here's a step-by-step guide to adopting this routine:

Step 1: Double Cleansing

Start by using an oil-based cleanser to remove oil-based impurities, then use a water-based cleanser to remove any remaining residue.

Step 2: Toner

Apply a toner to clean skin to rebalance the skin's pH.

Step 3: Essence

Apply a light essence to the skin to hydrate and prepare it for the absorption of subsequent products. 

Step 4: Serums and Ampoules

Apply a concentrated serum or ampoule targeting specific skin issues.

Step 5: Eye Care

Apply an eye cream to hydrate and nourish the delicate skin around the eyes. Alternatively, apply eye patches in a quiet moment.

Step 6: Moisturizer

Apply a moisturizer (cream or gel) to lock in hydration and protect the skin.

Step 7: Sun Protection

Apply sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Reapply throughout the day.

Step 8: Masks

Use a sheet mask, mud or clay mask or a sleeping mask in the evening. This will allow your skin to recharge and hydrate overnight. 

Follow this routine every day for optimal results. Remember to adjust the products according to your skin type and the specific issues you want to target.
