Everybody loves plump glass skin, don’t we? Has your Instagram feed also been bombarded with skin care tips and tricks imported from Korea? Do you wonder why? Yes, it is because Korean beauty trends have taken the world by storm, and for obvious reasons.
The OG Korean skincare routine ensures you get radiant and well-toned skin. Although it could seem like a million steps to do on a daily basis. Hence, we have curated Korean skincare regime that’ll make you shine like the star that you are.
Here is a carefully curated K-beauty skincare routine especially for you. This includes a DIY guide for both the AM and PM routines.
Cleansing is a cardinal skincare ritual for the Korean that they follow with the utmost care. What’s more, a two-step cleansing routine helps you get rid of all the muck and dirt you’ve piled onto your skin. So, first, use an oil cleanser or micellar water and then go ahead with washing your face with the usual cleanser or face wash. Lastly, pat dry.
Toning your face is a pivotal part of your skincare routine as it closes the pores open during the cleansing step, tightens them and also balances the skin’s pH levels.
The essence is a water-based product and contains a high amount of active ingredients. It helps hydrate the skin and should be applied right after toning.
Get your hands on a serum as per your skin concern and slap it on after applying an essence. It’ll help with targeted skin concerns.
Adding on a moisturiser is no surprise, this no-brainer step is part of skincare routines across the globe and the k-beauty world approves and includes it too.
We need eye creams to protect and nourish the area around your eyes. So go ahead and dab a little bit of the product around the eyes with your fingers.
Korean women take protecting themselves from sun damage very seriously. So you better do that too, pile on some much needed SPF.
The Koreans go for a double cleansing during the PM routine using cleansing oils followed by a gentle cleanser to get rid of all the muck.
The K-beauty routine includes exfoliation once a week in the PM routine. It should be done right after cleansing as it removes dead skin cells.
Never skip toning your skin using a gentle alcohol-free toner during the PM routine.
Slap on some skin softening lotion enriched with goodies such as ceramides or sake in the PM.
Just like the AM, repeat the application of the essence step after using the skin-softening lotion for hydration.
For the PM routine, definitely top your skin up with a serum to help with any target skin issues you might have.
If you’re somebody who has acne prone skin, you better use a spot treatment to dry up the lesions.
Eye cream is an ever so integral step in the Korean PM skincare routine. So nourish the sensitive skin around your eyes right.
Here’s the final step of the PM skincare routine - the moisturiser as it helps to lock in that essential moisture and keep the skin hydrated all night long.
