Skincare Routine

What goes where in a Korean skincare routine is determined in a way to allow the product to be maximally utilized and perform its very best. Sometimes the order may vary depending on the presence of specific ingredients but more often there is a prescribed sequence that should be followed. This is a thorough breakdown of all the steps in a daily regimen briefly explaining which step does what:

1.REMOVE MAKEUP AND SUNSCREEN WITH AN OIL/GEL CLEANSER:

Both makeup and sunscreen are designed to retain sweat and water or else they would run off quite easily. An oil-based cleanser does an excellent job in eliminating them completely,read about double cleansing and its benefits here.

3. TONERS & MISTS:

Korean toners are designed to start the hydration process right after the cleansing steps. It softens skin making it more porous to absorb the serum/essences better. It doesn’t vaporize as quickly unlike other toners.
