How one can Make More Skincare Coreana By Doing Less
If you've ever watched an Korean show, you'll definitely help but notice the perfection of the skins of the protagonists of these shows which are being canceled by the network. How do they achieve it? Follow these steps and you too will get a porcelain-like skin just like them.

But what is exactly the Korean skincare routine we talk so much about these days? These are steps precisely that Asian women, especially Koreans, use to maintain their skin. Based on the different types the steps can vary from 7 to 10 steps. Some of these steps have to be taken to be completed at night or in the morning.



Yes, taking care of your skin requires that you take care of it during the day and at night. In the morning to prepare and shield the skin for the coming day, in the evening to get rid of all the dirt and impurities we have accumulated during the day.


STEP 1&2: Double Cleansing

The first step that I think is one of the most important is cleansing. For Korean cosmetics, we typically make use of double cleansing. What is double cleansing? And the habit of using two types of cleanser. The first is an oil-based cleanser which helps to remove makeup and is necessary in the evening but is a good option in the morning. The other is cleansing using foaming cleanser, which assists in removing any leftovers. This helps keep the skin fresh and ready for the next steps. Personally, I'd recommend Etude House's Real Art Cleansing Oil Moisture Advanced as the first step and Paula's Choice Clam Nurishing Cleanser for the second.


STEP 3: Toner

The second step is the toner. Naturally, a non-alcoholic toner. Alcohol although it remains little on the skin, since it evaporates quickly is one of the most irritating substances to the skin, along with fragrances and perfumes. Toners are designed to cleanse the skin by eliminating impurities and bacteria and rebalances its pH after the first step. It also assists in eliminating those product residues that escaped the cleansers. A product that I personally find very good to do this is the Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner by Haru Haru Wonder.


Step 4: Exfoliant

The next step is the exfoliant which, depending on the type of exfoliant and the type of skin can be used daily or at least every other day. For example an exfoliant that is gentle can be used daily, a mechanical exfoliant not more than three times per week. An exfoliant, as the name suggests, is used to gently exfoliate cellulite from the surface on which it is applied which is in this instance it is the face. Try the 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant available from Paula's Choice. I have found it exceptional.

However, does the Korean skincare routine actually as effective? Let's take Cosmetics Generation at what's next!

Step 5: Face Mask

Then we can look at the face mask. It is meant to be applied in the evening. It is a possible fabric mask, which is used every day, or a clay mask for oily skin. In this case the second day of every week would be the ideal time to use it. If you use a clay mask, such as the fun Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask, it should be applied following cleansing, before applying toner and exfoliator. If it's made of fabric, it's a good idea to use it even afterwards and can also be used in place of serum, which normally follows the exfoliant. The face mask serves depending on your skin type to increase moisture for dry skin or to eliminate excess sebum in case of oily skin. It can also be helpful for those who suffer from skin irritation, to use one with soothing ingredients.


STEP 6: Serum

The serum serves us to provide specific ingredients to the skin, but without adding too much weight to the skin. It's a very versatile product that can be used alone in case of oily skin or combined with other products in the case of dry skin. Many women opt to apply both the essence and the serum, if they have dry skin, both are suitable. One good example of this product, personally tested is IUnik's Tea Tree Relief.


STEP 7: Essence

Essence is a lighter serum that is almost watery, but it provides hydration as well as other ingredients that maybe the serum doesn't contain. In the summer it's ideal for people with oily skin because when used on its own, it doesn't weight the skin but adds ingredients that improve our skin. Try the Galacto Niacin 97 Power Essence by Purito I would suggest it!
