The "perfect" step-by-step skincare routine. Before washing your face, you need to remove makeup from the eyes and lips. The main difference is that the remover takes off makeup (including long-lasting) only from the eyes and lips. Hydrophilic oil is the foundation of Korean skincare and the first step of double cleansing. The hydrophilic oil is not only convenient to use; when you gently massage this cleansing product, it also removes makeup and other oil-based impurities, such as sebum and SPF.

The second step of double cleansing is a water-based cleanser. This step is designed to remove residual oil and other small impurities, as well as sweat and dust. It should be noted that any foams can dry out the skin. Therefore, after cleansing, it is necessary to moisturize the skin with a toner as soon as possible. Step #1 Makeup RemovalStep #3 Exfoliation

Exfoliators play a crucial role in the pursuit of flawless skin. Removing dead skin cells allows other components and treatments to penetrate deeper into the skin, making them more effective. Exfoliation should be done no more than twice a week. Step #2 CleansingStep #4 Toning

It's time to prepare your skin for skincare with toner. In Korea, there's even a "3-second rule" where you should moisturize your skin within 3 seconds after cleansing. Toner helps restore the skin's pH balance, hydrate it, and prepare it for the application of subsequent skincare products. Think of your skin like a sponge - all products absorb much faster and more effectively into moist skin. Step #3 ExfoliationStep #5 Essence

This stage can be considered the "heart" of Korean skincare. Its main function is to "treat" the skin. Most often, it is aimed at a specific action such as anti-aging, whitening, regeneration, pore tightening, etc. The product should be applied to skin that has been pre-moistened with toner, using gentle patting motions. Step #4 ToningStep #6 Treatment/Masks

Boosters, serums, and ampoules are ideal for improving the skin. Containing powerful ingredients, they target specific skin concerns such as acne, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation. Sheet Mask: If essences are the heart of Korean skincare, then sheet masks are its soul. The key to sheet masks lies in the sheet itself, which, when in prolonged contact with your face, allows the skin to fully absorb nutrients and moisture. Additionally, they promote a quiet, meditative relaxation ritual. Stage #5 EssenceStage #7 Emulsion

Главная цель этого этапа – увлажнить кожу и усилить действие сыворотки. Эмульсия менее концентрирована чем сыворотка и имеет легкую текстуру, которая быстро усваивается кожей. The main goal of this stage is to moisturize the skin and enhance the effects of the serum. Emulsion is less concentrated than serum and has a lightweight texture that quickly absorbs into the skin. Stage #6 Treatment/MasksStage #8 Eye Cream

The skin around the eyes is the thinnest and most delicate, so it deserves special attention in skincare. When applying eye cream, avoid stretching the skin or applying too much pressure. Gently pat the cream into the skin using your fingertips, preferably using your ring fingers. Stage #7 EmulsionStage #9 Moisturizer

The main function of face cream is to protect the skin from environmental aggressors and enhance the effects of previous skincare steps. Remember to choose a cream according to your skin type - the oilier the skin, the lighter the cream should be. It's best to have two creams - moisturizing and nourishing - and apply them according to the season. In warmer seasons, use moisturizing cream in the morning and nourishing cream in the evening; in colder seasons, use nourishing cream in the morning and moisturizing cream in the evening. Stage #8 Eye CreamStage #10 Sun Protection

Even if you step outside for just a few minutes, sunscreen is your best defense against premature aging. Use it every (!) morning and reapply throughout the day as needed. This is a crucial final step that will protect your skin from the harmful effects of UV rays. Stage #9 MoisturizerSkin Care Guide
