Korean beauty products containing ingredients that have been found to clear, refine, exfoliate, or smooth skin. Skincare brands have always made these promises, but K-beauty offered the results in a way that was accessible by price and by way of education while also giving consumers a cool product.
When skincare gurus refer to Korean skincare, they’re referring in general to the savvily marketed 10-step Korean beauty routine.
That routine is filled with both distinctly Korean products ;
like essences and ampoules and general cornerstones of skincare like moisturizers and cleansers.
It goes a bit like this: a balm or oil cleanser
(1), a foaming cleanser
dissolves the water-based impurities (dirt and sweat)
(2), an exfoliant
physical and chemical exfoliation that cleans pores, sloughs away dead skin cells and helps other products absorb better and work more efficiently.
(3), a toner
removes leftover residue from cleansers, repairs the skin's natural barrier, and helps prep the skin to better absorb the following moisturizers.
(4), an essence
lightweight liquids packed with a concentrated blend of hydrating, anti-ageing, complexion-enhancing ingredients.
(5), an ampoule or serum
treat specific skin concerns like acne, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation.
(6), a sheet mask
designed in sheet form so that, with prolonged contact, the skin fully absorbs the nutrients and moisture.
(7), an eye cream
hydrates and prevents dark circles, puffiness, and crow's feet.
(8), a moisturizer
seals in moisture to plump up the skin and smooth fine lines.
(9), thicker night cream,or
(10), sleeping mask
the general idea is that after cleansing, you want to go with the lightest formula and finish with the thickest.
