Hack into Korean Skincare Routine; Without the Cost

Korean Skincare Routine Basics

Is the Korean skincare routine the key to perfect skin? What are the Koreans doing to get this incredible look of glowing skin?

The Korean routine doesn't include any magical substances; it's focused on treating skin problems rather than hiding them, which made it known worldwide thanks to its effects.

Korean Skin Routine Beauty Secrets

In Korea, they enjoy perfect skin thanks to their intense skin routine and their varied diet rich in vegetables and plenty of hydration, which helps keep their skin moisturized.

The pillars of Korean skincare routines are using hydrating serums, antioxidants, and SPF daily. Follow these basics for 3 months or less, and your skin will thank you!

Also, for that matter, our hydrating and skin barrier-strengthening serums will begin to show minor results the first time you use them! Try these serums for hydration and fixing your skin barrier: Vitamin B3 Serum, Ultra-hydrate Serum, and Brightening Serum. Healing your skin barrier will enhance moisture lockup and instantly make your skin more absorbent for hydration.

 

Korean skincare routines rely on sunscreen and antioxidants to avoid damage caused by the sun's aging and burning rays. Most skin care products include vitamin C due to its remarkable antioxidant benefits and enhanced sun protection eight times when used pre-sunscreen.

Take a look at the main four points of any Korean routine that result in clear and blemish-free skin:

1. Follow double cleansing

2. Never sleep with makeup on

3. Exfoliate your face every 7–10 days, and use masks regularly (2–3 times a week)

4. Don't forget to apply sun protection daily, at least 20 minutes before sun exposure

How Many Products Are in the Korean Skin Routine?

It's about more than how many products we use in our skincare routine, but how and in what order we do it.

We must apply the products of this routine by "layering," using the products according to their consistency, first using the lightest cosmetics on the face and gradually increasing their intensity.

The complete steps of a Korean skin routine, in order of use, may include:

1. Cleansing oil
2. Water-based cleanser
3. Exfoliator
4. Toner
5. Serum
6. Single-use face sheet mask
7. Eye cream
8. Moisturizer
9. Sunscreen

These steps can vary according to your personal liking for your skin routine.

What is double facial cleaning?

Double facial cleansing is one of the reasons why Korean women enjoy clear skin without blemishes. It consists of two steps: an oil-based cleanser (cleansing oil or balm) and a water-based cleanser (foam). And just with the help of your hands, don't use cotton pads or makeup remover wipes!

The first step is to remove oil-based impurities such as foundation, sunscreen, or traces of pollution. The second step removes watery residues such as sweat and dirt.

However, dermatology experts consider it a harsh cleansing. They may cause side effects on the skin, but you can replace them with one gentle product that'll save you any side effects like dryness and acne.

Instead, our doctors always advise using Natavis Vitamin C and E cleanser to leave your skin clean and moisturized without damaging your skin barrier. This cleanser works on unclogging skin pores and clearing blemishes.

Skin peeling and exfoliators

Korean skincare routines has developed nature-based products to regularly prevent breakouts. That's why we inspired our products from nature, using organic, European-sourced material to create high-efficiency products to treat acne-prone skin.

One of Koreans' most beneficial products to treat acne is foaming cleansers and exfoliators. These products help reduce swelling and dry blisters without leaving marks on the skin.

Protection from sun damage

Koreans aim to delay skin aging as much as possible, using daily sunscreen and products with antioxidant properties that prevent premature aging and avoid free radical damage.

Our Ulta-protect sunscreen is the perfect product to protect you from the sun's harmful rays. It's the #1 recommended product in any skincare routine due to its easy use and fast absorption.
