From essences to sheet masks, Korean beauty products and trends are taking over the beauty market, although the process has been a bit slower in India. While some of the steps are a must , some can be done twice a week. Here is a short guide to the trending skincare routine which the glass skin beauties in Seoul follow:

STEP 1: Use Oil Base Cleanser

Applied to dry skin, an oil cleanser removes makeup and any other oil-based product debris like sunscreen and pollution particles.

STEP 2: Foam Cleanser

This removes impurities like sweat and dirt. After double cleansing (first with oil then with foam), your skin will be squeaky clean.

STEP 3: Exfoliator

Exfoliation not only cleans out clogged pores, but it also rides your face of dead skin cells. This step is not recommended for daily use. If you have sensitive skin, you’ll only want to exfoliate once a week. If you have a tougher complexion, you can do it three times a week.

STEP 4: Toner

After you cleanse so many times, your skin is in a fragile state, which needs hydration and a toner is your best friend here.

STEP 5: Essence

The essence is really the heart of Korean skin care, a step that is credited to their culture. It’s a treatment product similar to serums or boosters, but it’s more watery in consistency than the rest of those products.

STEP 6: Serums, Boosters

It is not a necessary step for everyone. If you don’t have brown spots or pigmentation, you don’t really need to use it.

STEP 7: Mask

The purpose of your mask depends on what your skin needs. Choose one for brightening that may be packed with vitamin C. This is not an every-night step, you only need to do it twice a week.

STEP 8: Eye Cream

Depending on the eye cream you choose, this could focus on everything from fine lines to dark circles.

STEP 9: Face Cream

This step is simply to lock in skin’s moisture.

STEP 10: SPF

Even if you’re stepping outside for just a couple of minutes, you must wear sunscreen. It’s the easiest and most effective way to prevent premature aging.
