The traditional Korean skincare regimen consists of the following five steps:
- Double Cleansing: Start by using an oil-based cleanser to remove makeup and other impurities, followed by a water-based cleanser to deep clean the skin.
- Exfoliating: Use a gentle exfoliating scrub or chemical exfoliant to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores.
- Treating: Apply a treatment product, such as a serum or ampoule, to target specific skin concerns.
- Sheet Masking: Use a sheet mask to provide extra hydration and nourishment to the skin.
- Moisturizing: Finish by applying a moisturizer to lock in hydration and protect the skin’s natural barrier.
The Korean skincare regimen places a strong emphasis on hydration and layering products to achieve a healthy, glowing complexion. It is recommended to tailor your routine to your specific skin type and concerns, and to consult with a dermatologist to determine the best approach to addressing your specific skin concerns.
