The benefits of the Korean skincare routine

10 x K-beauty for healthy skin
Step 1: Start with an oil-based cleanser
In the world of K-beauty, an oil-based cleanser is the first step. These cleansers are masterful at removing makeup, excess oil and other impurities. Massage gently onto dry skin and rinse with lukewarm water for a fresh start.
Step 2: Continue with a water-based cleaner
The oil-based cleaning is followed by a water-based cleaner. This ensures a deep cleansing, leaving your skin feeling completely fresh and clean. Try the Almaaz cleansing foam for the second step in your skincare routine.
Step 3: Exfoliate for radiant skin
The Korean skincare routine is not complete without exfoliating. It removes dead skin cells and promotes soft, radiant skin. Use an exfoliant - such as our exfoliating pads - that suits your skin type and enjoy a renewing sensation.
Step 4: Toner - the hydration boost
A toner balances the pH of your skin, soothes and prepares your skin for the next steps. Pat gently with a cotton pad for a hydrated feeling.
Step 5: Essence - the key to success
Essence, a core product in K-beauty, is packed with antioxidants and nutrients. It hydrates, nourishes and revitalizes your skin. A few drops are enough for a radiant effect. Please note: it is more watery than a serum!
Step 6: Serums for specific skin needs
Serums address specific skin problems; from wrinkles to pigment spots. Choose a serum that suits your skin needs and watch the magic happen. Try Almaaz's Vitamin Drops !
Step 7: Eye Cream - special care for a delicate area
The skin around your eyes deserves extra love. An eye cream helps reduce dark circles and fine lines. A little bit is enough for a rejuvenating effect.
Step 8: Moisturizer - deep hydration
A good moisturizer keeps your skin hydrated all day long. Choose one that suits your skin type so you experience ultimate softness and suppleness.
Step 9: Sun protection - your shield against UV rays
Protection against UV rays is crucial. You must protect yourself from the harmful effects of the sun. Use a day cream with SPF, such as our Almaaz day cream with SPF30.
Step 10: Night care - recover while you sleep
Finish your routine with a nourishing night cream, such as our own Nightcream . Leave it on overnight and wake up with completely renewed skin.
