The Korean ten-Step Skincare Routine: A Step-by-Step Guide for Glowing Skin
The glass-skin Koreans seemingly possess, we all want it. Don’t we? The secret lies in the magic of K-Beauty! K-Beauty boasts of a rich heritage dating back centuries, with ancient Koreans using natural ingredients and multi-step routines to achieve a youthful and radiant complexion. Today, with modern touch, they offer various products and techniques designed to target every skin concern imaginable. But where do you even begin with this seemingly complex ten-step skincare routine? Fear not, K-Beauty newbie! This comprehensive guide will help you get started!
The Korean Ten-Step Skincare Routine
Get ready to ditch the intimidation and embrace the K-Beauty glow. Your journey to healthy, radiant skin starts now!
Step 1: Oil-Based Cleanser
Koreans are big on double cleansing for that perfect cleanse. Start by melting away makeup, sunscreen, and oil-based impurities with a gentle oil cleanser. Our Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm gently removes makeup while exfoliating and brightening the skin, using natural ingredients like acerola extract and vitamin E acetate for a nourishing cleanse.
Step 2: Water-Based Cleanser
Follow up with a water-based cleanser to remove any remaining impurities and sweat. Choose a cleanser based on your skin type, gel for oily skin, cream for dry skin, and a gentle formula for sensitive skin.
Our Aromer Ultra Light cleansing water, infused with saponaria officinalis leaf extract, is great for all skin types. It gently and effectively cleanses the skin without stripping it of moisture, leaving it feeling refreshed and soothed.
Step 3: Exfoliator
Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells, revealing a brighter and smoother complexion. To avoid over-exfoliating, it is ideal to exfoliate only 2-3 times a week.
Our Black Sugar Mask Wash Off offers a luxurious exfoliating experience, revealing brighter, smoother skin while hydrating and deep cleansing to prevent breakouts.
Step 4: Toner
Toners were traditionally used to restore pH balance after cleansing. Now, they come with additional benefits like hydration. Hydrating toners or soothing toners with ingredients like Centella Asiatica (CICA) for sensitive skin are a steal and you should go for them.
Our Aromer Refresh Water Toner features 7 layers of hyaluronic acid to provide intense, long-lasting hydration, restoring moisture and leaving dry skin feeling fresh, plump, and protected with a healthy glow.
Step 5: Essence
Essences are lightweight products packed with hydrating and nourishing ingredients. They penetrate deeply into the skin, prepping it for the remaining steps in your routine.
Our Mugwort Essence is a 100% natural, soothing formula that calms and moisturizes sensitive skin while combating aging and stimulating collagen production.
Step 6: Serum/Ampoule
This is where you target specific skin concerns! Serums and ampoules are concentrated formulas packed with powerful ingredients.
Our Sioris A Calming Day Ampoule is a rich blend of Omija and Calendula extracts combined for a soothing, natural formula that refreshes and rejuvenates sensitive skin, revealing a vibrant, healthy glow.
Step 7: Sheet Masks
Sheet masks are soaked in concentrated essences and serums, offering an extra boost of hydration or addressing specific concerns.
Our Mediheal Hyalu Moist Essence Mask provides intense hydration and nourishment for soft, supple skin with hyaluronic acid and other concentrated moisturizing ingredients.
Step 8: Eye Cream
The delicate under-eye area needs special care too. Eye creams are formulated to be lighter and address concerns like puffiness, dark circles, and fine lines.
Step 9: Moisturizer
Moisturizers are essential for locking in all the goodness from previous steps and keeping your skin hydrated throughout the day. Choose a lightweight lotion for oily skin or a richer cream for dry skin.
Our Aromer Deep Moisture Soothing Cream, featuring patented Soothing Cooler TM extract, gently calms, moisturizes, and protects sensitive skin, restoring balance and promoting a healthier skin barrier with regular use.
Step 10: Sunscreen
Sunscreen is the most crucial step in any skincare routine, Korean or not! Sun damage is a major cause of premature aging and hyperpigmentation. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every day, even on cloudy days.
Our Anua Silky Moisture Sun Cream offers broad-spectrum protection and soothes/hydrates skin with organic ingredients, while also controlling sebum and extending makeup wear, making it perfect for daily use under foundation.
And with these you’re ready to go!
