What Does Korean Skincare Include?

Here is a basic overview of what a line of korean skincare daily regime would include, which can be anywhere from 10 to 17 steps depending on your skin’s needs:

1. Cleansers, including oil and foam. These are gentle on your face, yet effective in removing makeup, resulting in clean, moisturized skin.
2. Toner – not the kind you’re used to
3. Essence – it’s like a serum, but thicker, and American companies are starting to emulate it
4. Serums, moisturizers, and ampoules – yes, there is more to add on to your face after the essence!
5. Exfoliation, masks, sleeping masks, etc. Depending on your needs, this will change. Some masks are made out of paper, while others are like normal creams that are left on overnight.
6. Eye creams. Some of these will have very interesting ingredients such as snail extract. They are said to be miracle workers, though.
7. Sunscreen & bb creams. What face routine would be complete without adequate protection from the sun?
8. Mists and Facials
