Korean Skincare Application

The skincare routine can vary based on individual skin types and needs, but the general order of applying skincare products is as follows. Detailed explanations for each step are included.

Steps to Apply Skincare

1. Cleansing

   • Use a cleanser to gently massage the face, then rinse with lukewarm water. Double cleansing is recommended (oil cleanser + gel or foam cleanser) 
   • Recommendation Korean cosmetics : Cosrx Good morning Gel cleanser

1. Toner

   • To balance the skin's pH after cleansing and help the next skincare products absorb more effectively.
   • Method: Soak a cotton pad with toner and gently wipe the face or pat it in with your palms for absorption.
   • Recommendation korean cosmetics : Jumiso waterful hyaluronic toner

2. Essence

   • To provide hydration and nutrients to the skin. Essences usually have a lightweight texture that absorbs easily.
   • Method: Dispense an appropriate amount into your palms and gently pat it onto the face for absorption.
   • Recommendation korean cosmetics : Benton Snail bee high content essence

3. Serum

   • To deliver concentrated active ingredients targeting specific skin concerns (such as wrinkles, whitening, or acne).
   • Method: Apply a small amount of serum evenly over the face and gently pat for absorption.
   • Recommendation korean cosmetics : Skin1004 Madagascar Centella ampoule

4. Moisturizer

   • To lock in moisture and strengthen the skin's protective barrier.
   • Method: Take an appropriate amount and apply it evenly to the face and neck.
   • Recommendation korean cosmetics : Missha Aretemisia calming moisture cream

5. Sunscreen (during the day)

   • To protect the skin from UV rays, preventing sunburn and premature aging.
   • Method: Apply generously at the last step of your skincare routine, opting for a product with a high SPF.
   • Recommendation korean cosmetics : Rovectin Aqua soothing sun screen

Additional Steps (Optional)

• Mask: Use 1-2 times a week to provide extra nourishment to the skin and address specific concerns.
• Facial Oil: Can be used to enhance moisture as needed, typically applied after moisturizer.

Tips

• Allow enough time for each product to absorb before moving on to the next step.
• Adjust product selection based on skin type. For example, choose lightweight products for oily skin and hydrating products for dry skin.

By following this step-by-step skincare routine, you can maintain healthy skin and achieve the desired results.
