5 Step Morning Korean Skincare Routine

Step 1: Double Cleanse

Double cleansing is part of Korean skincare. Because your pillow absorbs sweat, oil, and grime overnight, I believe repeated cleansing is required.

You don't want last night's pore accumulation to induce breakouts today." Massage an oil-based cleanser into dry skin for a double cleansing. Wash and rinse with water.

Step 2: Toner

Toner is debatable, but it is crucial in Korean skincare. It regulates the pH of the skin and enhances product absorption. Cosmetics tend to sit on your skin without toner.

Step 3: Essence

Because dehydration causes your skin to overproduce oil, moisturizing in the morning helps to minimize sebum production throughout the day.

An essence is required for oily or mixed skin. Certain varieties offer nourishing actives while hydrating.

Step 4: Moisturizer

This step might already be in your morning skincare routine. It must be sealed. A good moisturizer should feel like a protective layer on your skin, making it easier to apply sunscreen and makeup.

Step 5: SPF

We've said it before and we'll say it again: SPF is vital. All of these steps are meaningless without everyday skin protection. Wear it on a daily basis.

Even in the midst of a dreary winter. Apply sunscreen. Sunscreen is really expensive. This writer considers it to be one of the best. It's lightweight and integrates well under makeup.
