Inside this guide, you’ll be taken through the key steps of a typical Korean skincare routine and the benefits each step offers.
Step 1: Double Cleansing
At the heart of the Korean skin care routine is double cleansing, which means using an oil-based cleanser followed by a water-based cleanser. The oil-based cleanser removes makeup, sunscreen and excess oils, while the water-based cleanser rids the skin of all impurities and perspiration. The dual cleansing provides a clean base for the remaining skin care products.
Step 2: Exfoliation (1-2 times a week)
It is important to exfoliate regularly these days to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores. Koreans often use gentle exfoliants with natural ingredients to avoid irritation. This step promotes cell turnover and provides smoother and more radiant skin.

toners help to balance the pH of the skin and prepare the skin to better absorb subsequent products. Korean toners are moisturizing and may contain ingredients such as hyaluronic acid or plant extracts to soothe and nourish the skin. But you are free to chose a toner that you prefer .

Essence is a lightweight, watery product that provides a boost of hydration and aids in improving skin texture. It often contains active ingredients like fermented extracts, which promote skin renewal and overall skin health.
