What is a water-based cleanser?

The water-based cleanser is commonly known as a foaming cleanser. It ensures the removal of oil residue left on your skin from the oil-based cleanser and is therefore just as essential to your Korean skincare routine.

Double Cleansing in the morning is not entirely necessary considering you don't sleep with your makeup on, if you do; that’s the worst thing you are doing for your skin. Instead, you can jump straight to your foam cleanser to remove the night’s sweat and potential bacteria you may have collected from your pillow in your sleep.

Water cleansers generally contain similar ingredients, however, each product is formulated for certain skin types. Therefore it is vital that you apply the right cleanser for your skin type in order to achieve your skincare goals.

Why should I use a water-based cleanser?

A water based face wash removes the water-soluble impurities such as sweat, dirt, and pollution which causes breakouts. It is an essential step to ensure your pores don’t clog up, leading to an uneven skin surface and of course, breakouts.

How to apply water-based cleanser:

Apply a pea-sized amount to wet hands and lather for 10 seconds until it forms into a bouncy foam cleanser. Apply to face and massage for 30 seconds, don’t forget your neck. Rinse off with lukewarm water, but do not dry with a towel. Instead, dry your hands and dab your chin, then lightly pat the remaining water into your skin with your fingers until it resembles a damp glow. Remember, your skin will absorb other products more efficiently while it is damp, just like a sponge.

Step 3: Exfoliator

What is Exfoliation?

Your skin has a natural shedding cycle of 30 days, leaving dead skin cells attached to it. An e gently removes dead skin cells without damaging the lipid barrier. A face exfoliator can come in different forms, whether it be a mechanical or a chemical exfoliator.

Mechanical exfoliation, usually known as scrubbing. They come in all shapes and sizes to provide options for different skin types. Common ingredients include crushed apricot seed for a rough scrub which is usually applied to oily or acne-prone skin, sugar for a medium scrub usually applied to normal or combination skin, and rice powder for a light scrub, you guessed it; this is ideal for sensitive skin. The selection of these ingredients should match your skin’s demands which should be monitored on a day-to-day basis in order to reach your skincare goals. Or a weekly basis for the lazy ones.

Different types of Exfoliators:

Chemical exfoliation for the face is also referred to as peeling. This type of product usually contains either an AHA exfoliant (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) which contains glycolic, mandelic, or lactic acids. These ingredients are healthy options for dry or sensitive skin as it gently peels the skin surface to reveal new skin cells and helps retain moisture in the skin. Hereby, reducing fine lines and wrinkles to improve the skin’s appearance.

Whereas a BHA exfoliant (Beta Hydroxy Acids), in its most common form, is also known as Salicylic Acid which penetrates the skin on a deeper level. It is an ideal option for oily or acne-prone skin as it deeply cleans out the pores to clear congested skin while fighting bacteria to prevent future breakouts. While doing all that, it calms irritated skin at the same time, hence it is also a healthy option for combination skin.

Last but certainly not least, the latest trendy ingredient found in the more hip brands out there are Enzymes. These are commonly extracted from fruits such as pineapple or papaya and work in a similar way to BHAs to dissolve the glue which holds dead skin cells attached to the face. Products containing enzymes are great options for all skin types due to their gentle biological activation.

Why should you exfoliate:

Dead skin cells stay attached to your skin and prevent active ingredients from absorbing into your skin. Hence, skin exfoliation enables optimal absorption of products in the following steps of your skincare routine. However, it is vital that you apply the best exfoliator for your skin type.

How to exfoliate:

Exfoliators come in different formulas with different strengths, therefore it is crucial that you read instructions before application.

Step 4: Toner

Best Toners per skin type:

Glow Recipe Watermelon Toner works well for all skin types. This facial toner contains hydrating and pore tightening ingredients to contribute to the smooth, glass skin effect.

What does toner do?

Mythbuster: Facial Toners should NOT be another cleansing step. By the time you apply your toner, your skin should already be squeaky clean, if not then that means that your cleanser is not doing its job or you are not applying the proper method while cleansing. On that account, you should always be sure to use an alcohol-free toner.

Skin toners have evolved over time into a nourishing step in the skincare routine considering that its primary purpose is to hydrate. These days, powerhouse ingredients have been incorporated into toners, which allows your skin to benefit in the long run.

Why you should use a toner:

A face toner should rebalance the PH level of your skin after cleansing as well as prepare the skin for optimum absorption of products in the following steps. It can be an easy way to sneak in active ingredients that target problem areas such as Acne or Aging concerns.

How to apply toner:

Forget the cotton pads, because they absorb the majority of the product. Instead, make a cupping shape with the palm of your hand so the product stays in place and pour as much as a tasting sip into your hand. Even the product out with the other hand and gently apply to your face. You should feel the effect of splashing some water onto your face when it needs a cool down. Your face is now ready for step five.

SEE THE DEMONSTRATION IN THE VIDEO BELOW:

Step 5: Essence

What is Essence?

Skin Essence is often confused with Toner or Serum. Actually, it's neither a toner nor a serum. The best Korean Essence is generally formulated with fermented ingredients which offer the benefits of anti-aging, hydration and brightening the skin. However, Western brands have closely followed in their footsteps.

The texture of an Essence is usually slightly thicker than a Toner as it contains larger molecules of the active ingredients. You will notice how the textures of products consecutively become thicker. This is due to the size of the molecules found in them, which essentially determine the order of the skincare routine steps.

This step falls before the Serum, which has a heavier molecular weight. Therefore Essence having a lighter molecular weight enables a deeper penetration of the skin’s barrier. In addition, the hydration properties enable your skin to absorb the serum in the following step more efficiently.

Why should you use Essence:

In saying that Essence preps your skin for the following steps, it's not the only reason to use it. In fact, the best essences out there generally give your skin a gentle boost as it targets all-around problem areas such as pigmentation, dehydration, aging signs, and acne concerns.

How to apply Essence:

Face Essence should be applied without cotton pads as it is a waste of product. Instead pour a small amount into the hand, just enough to avoid waste because these products are liquid gold. Apply it evenly to your face then start tapping with your fingertips until the mass of the product is absorbed into your face. Before allowing it to dry completely, move quickly onto the next step for optimal absorption while the skin is still damp.

Step 6: Serum

Best Serums per skin type:

Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops works well for all skin types, it has an instant highlighting effect and maintains a healthy sebum production.

Check out our full skincare kit for Normal Skin

What is a Serum?

A serum is considered a treatment for your skin containing a high concentration of active ingredients with a smaller molecular size than a moisturizer. Smaller molecule sizes indicate deeper penetration into the skin. Serums do not replace moisturizers, in fact, serums need moisturizers to lock the active ingredients into the skin. Due to its high concentration of active ingredients, it targets problem areas such as aging, acne, dehydration, and hyper-pigmentation.

Why you should use a serum:

Serums take your skincare routine to the next level and give your skin a boost towards your skincare goals. As mentioned before, serums should be selected based on your particular skin concerns. Active ingredients are found in all steps of the skincare routine, however, serums work the most effectively.

How to apply serum:

First of all, your skincare routine needs to stay within the recommended order for the most optimal results. This statement is the most vital regarding serums, which is literally back up by science.

Serums should be used individually and not in combination with other serums in order to avoid skin purging. Skin Purging occurs when the skin is overstimulated and the cell turnover process is sped up and results in small white or red bumps across the face and usually resembles a rash or break out depending on the severity of your skin’s reaction.

Second, always read the instructions for your selected product. Serums are usually produced with a pipette lid to help you control the dosage, given that serums are so strong. Drop the recommended amount onto your face and gently distribute across your face and gently press it into the skin.

Step 7: Sheet Masks

What is a Sheet Mask?

A sheet mask is literally a mask made of either fiber, cotton coconut pulp, or cellulose, infused with a potent concoction of active ingredients designed as a treatment for your face. They are often referred to as sheet masks or facial masks. They have holes in them to uncover your eyes, nose, and mouth so that you can see and breathe.

Sheet masks were originally invented by Japanese Geishas and later became a staple in Korean Skincare regimes. K-beauty actually made its debut in the western world when sheet masks emerged. It created a hype that many thought was just another Fad and would probably fade out soon. Low and Behold, the K-beauty industry grew exponentially in popularity and it seems like sheet face masks are here to stay.

Why use a sheet mask:

Most other products are applied to the skin and absorb almost immediately. A facemask keeps feeding your skin as long as it is on your face, comparable to a handful of supplements you take to nourish your body; this is a supplement for your face.

Some masks are reusable if the serum in there is thick enough, hence if you fold it back to the way it was when you first used it, then seal the package properly you could save your mask for another use or two.

How to apply a sheet mask:

Most sheet masks come in close packaging for hygiene purposes. Open the packaging and remove the protective film and apply it to your face for the recommended amount of time, indicated on the packaging: usually around 20minutes. Do not wash your face after, instead, massage the rest of the product into your skin.

What is Eyecare?

Eye care refers to taking care of the skin around your eyes by application of the best eye creams for your skin concerns. Taking care of the eyes must be done so with caution, given that the skin under the eye is much thinner than the rest of your face. Your eye treatment should be selected carefully and if you are going to splurge on any product, we recommend you do so on the best eye serum or eye cream for you. We know, it can be overwhelming trying to find the right eye cream when you are not so sure what to look for. Don’t worry we have got you covered!

Why you should use Eye Care:

Skin Concern can differ when it comes to the eyes. The main concerns include dark circles under your eyes, puffiness, and fine lines caused by aging. This area often gets neglected mainly because it is so sensitive, many assume that it's best to just leave it alone. WRONG! That is actually the worst thing you can do for your eye skin. Instead, it needs extra care taken care of, as it shows the first signs of aging as women mature.

How to apply Eye Care:

Eye Creams and Serums should be applied with your ring finger as it is the weakest finger on your hand and enables a delicate application reducing the chance of damage to the skin.

We recommend using eye cream for both morning and night, however, some eye creams are only suitable for nighttime use since the active ingredients inside them can cause sensitivity when exposed to the sun. Accordingly, we have provided solutions for night and day application

Step 9: Moisturizer

What is a moisturizer?

Now you are probably wondering “why on earth should I use a moisturizer” after putting all these other products on my skin which contain moisturizing active ingredients. A moisturizer merely serves the purpose of keeping hydration inside the skin. It locks in all the goodness of the previous steps a

Facial moisturizer or any moisturizer should not contain any alcohol, as this works against the entire purpose of a moisturizing cream by stripping your skin of its natural oils.

Moisturizers in different forms like the typical buttery cream formula, face lotions, face gels, some might have a non-fatty silicone texture and some might be closer to an oil texture.

Mythbuster: Oily skin does need moisturizer. Why? Because skin becomes oily due to a dysregulation in the production of sebum. Most of the time, skin becomes oily due to a lack of moisture as the skin thinks it needs to produce more oil in order to self hydrate. Other times, it can be blamed on hormonal imbalances or purely ‘a luck of the draw’ genetics.

Why you should use a moisturizer:

TransEpidermal Water Loss is the natural process of water leaving the body through the skin. Moisturizers fight to reduce that process. If you haven't noticed yet, a good face moisturizer is fattier than all the other products and forms a protective layer over the skin. In order to avoid aging and breakouts, use the best face cream for your skin type. Don't fret, we have selected some of the best skin moisturizers for all skin types.

How to apply moisturizer:

For most good face moisturizers you shouldn't need too much as the product is rich enough and a little should go a long way, but listen to your skin and use the amount that leaves your skin feeling comfortable after application. Scoop about a pea-sized amount with your middle finger and distribute it onto your fingertips, gently apply to the face spreading it out evenly. Then with your entire hands including your palms, lightly press the product into your skin to ensure the product absorbs optimally. Do not forget your décolletage area(neck and chest).

What is Sunscreen SPF?

SPF is the famous acronym on every sunscreen container, short for the Sun Protection Factor. Sunscreen in some countries is called sunblock. Sunscreen brands have innovated different shapes and sizes of sunscreen, and by that, I mean different textures and formulas. However, they are limited to two types of sunscreen ingredients; either mineral or chemical sunscreens or both named broad spectrum.

Mineral Sunscreens:

These contain either Zinc Oxide or Titanium Oxide. Mineral sunscreen is also known as physical sunscreens as the minerals in them work to protect your skin from sun exposure by reflecting the sun away from your skin once. Mineral sunscreens usually leave a white cast over your skin which can leave it looking pale. This gives an undesirable effect on darker skin tones.

Chemical Sunscreens:

Chemical sunscreens contain oxybenzone, avobenzone, octinoxate, or homosalate. These sunscreens work with chemical force by absorbing UV light to prevent the skin from sun damage. Chemical sunscreens are preferred by people with darker skin tones as it does not give the white cast effect.

Broad Spectrum:

Some sunscreens contain both chemical and physical sun protection ingredients, those are called broad-spectrum protection factors. There are so many different types available, you just need to find the right one for you. Don't worry, we have got you.

Why you should use sunscreen:

One word: Anti-aging. Ok, that was a 2-in-1.

However, the point is that any anti-aging efforts you make are automatically reduced if you are not using sunscreen on a daily, even stronger, 2 hourly basis. This is merely due to the fact that the main causes of skin aging are dehydration and sun damage.

This step in the skincare routine is the embodiment of Korean Skincare. It is considered the most vital and in fact the most repeated step of skincare. Hence the 2-hour repetition window.

How to apply sunscreen:

The SPF should be chosen based on your skin’s sensitivity to the sun, the climate in which you will use it, and your skin tone. The American Academy of Dermatology Association recommends that the best sunscreens have an SPF of 30 or higher.

Sunscreen application will depend on the type of sunscreen chosen to suit your needs and your skin type. Obviously, we know by now, that sunscreen is applied during the day after all other products have been applied and before your makeup application. Now, all you need to do is find the best facial sunscreen for your skin type. We have already done that for you!

Step 11: Lip Balm

What Lip Balm?

Step 11; Lip Balm is the unspoken step that everyone does, but nobody speaks about. It’s just one of those second-nature things in life that go without saying. Lip Balm is a pocket item and the most re-applied skincare step throughout the day. Yes we are referring to that Carmex tube you always have handy; it even beats sunscreen and that is a huge statement to make.

However, although some Lip Balms do contain SPF, in that case, there is a slight margin for debate. But there is so much more to lip treatments than meets the eye.

Regimes can be formed around Lip Treatments, much like skincare. Most days, balming your lips is sufficient just to keep them hydrated and protected. However, your lips need love just like the rest of your face and body. For example, do you ever experience chapped or flakey lips during the colder seasons? Well, those are the moments that your lip skin needs even more Tender Loving Care (TLC).

To make it simple, we will break it down into four simple steps:

1. Cleanse

What is Korean Skincare?

The philosophy behind Korean Skincare, also known as K Beauty aims to achieve glass skin by means of an extensive 10 step skincare routine.

But first, some history on Korean beauty...
Centuries ago, Korea was predominantly an agricultural nation, implying that most people worked outdoors under exposure to damaging sun rays. Back then, sun protection within the Korean Skincare regimen consisted of raw ingredients such as rice extracts or mung bean paste.

It was not until recent years that more sophisticated Korean skincare products were developed. Yet, the process has not strayed away from the use of raw organic ingredients and is, therefore, the unique feature that sets Korean Skincare products apart from the Western Skincare industry.
