Korean skincare routine step-by-step: a guide to getting started without the hassle
You don't need 10 steps. We will show you the right order and how to build a simple Korean routine, for day and night.
The Korean skincare routine is famous for its steps and textures, but the secret isn't doing ten things: it's taking care of your skin consistently, hydrating it well, and protecting it from the sun. Here is how to put together a simple version.
The principle: from the lightest product to the thickest
Each layer is applied from the most fluid texture to the densest, so that everything is well absorbed. And you don't need all the steps: choose the ones your skin needs.
Evening routine
Double cleansing: first a balm or oil to remove sunscreen and makeup, and then a gentle foam or gel cleanser.
Toner: prepares the skin and hydrates.
Essence: a light layer of hydration.
Serum or treatment: the active ingredient you are looking for (niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, peptides...).
Moisturizer: seals everything in.
Morning routine
Gentle cleansing (or just water if your skin is very dry).
