Korean skincare has become an indispensable part of Western cosmetics. It is extremely popular and in our opinion that is rightly so. No skincare routine is as effective as the Korean one and that is why Almaaz is continuously working on K-beauty best practices.

What is Korean skin care?

Korean skincare is an extensive routine consisting of multiple steps and products, each with a specific function. The purpose of this routine is to deeply cleanse, nourish and protect the skin, giving you the ultimate glass skin. The core of this routine lies in prevention and protection rather than curative treatment afterwards.

10 steps to fantastic skin

We've written about it before, but let's go over the ten steps again:

1. Oil-based cleaner - this oil-based cleaner effortlessly removes excess oil and dirt residue.
2. Water-based cleanser - cleanses the skin extra, so you really remove all the mess from your face. Try the cleansing foam for this step!
3. Exfoliation - exfoliating removes dead skin cells and stimulates cell renewal. You can easily do this with the scrub or our innovative pads !
4. Toner - balances the pH of the skin and prepares it for further care. Our fantastic toner will help you with this!
5. Essence - this is a real Korean miracle remedy. It helps you hydrate the skin and stimulates cell renewal. What does a man want more?
6. Serum - what does your skin really need? Do you have wrinkles, pigment spots or other skin complaints? Try our vitamin drops for radiant skin.
7. Sheet mask - provides intense hydration and the necessary nutrients. Maybe our next product? ;-)
8. Eye cream - the skin around your eyes deserves some extra attention. Take care of and hydrate sensitive skin here with our nourishing eye cream !
9. Moisturizer - Hydrates and locks moisture into the skin. Do this in the morning and evening with our fantastic day and night cream set.
10. Sun protection - protect your skin against harmful UV rays, even in winter and when you are indoors. If you use our day cream, you don't need extra sun protection, unless you're going to lie on the beach all day baking, of course. Then get a good product!

Why choose Korean skincare?

Innovative formulas

Korean skincare products are known for their innovation on the one hand, but also for their centuries-old basis on the other. Ingredients such as snail slime, ginseng and rice water have proven their effectiveness and are a great success. The ingredients are carefully selected for their powerful properties.

Focus on hydration

One of the most important parts of a good skin care routine is moisturizing. Well-hydrated skin looks younger and healthier, but is also better protected against aging and free radicals. The sheet masks and essences in particular contribute to this!

Customize your routine

The flexibility of the Korean skincare routine is amazing. You don't have to follow all ten steps every day. Take a good look at what your skin needs and adjust your routine accordingly. If you suffer from allergies or acne, take this into account.

How do you start with Korean skincare?

1. Know your skin type - start by finding out what your skin type is. There are all kinds of tests available online, but you can also ask your skin specialist or our skin therapist.
2. Start simple - focus high on cleansing, toning and hydration, because those are the most important basics!
3. Be patient - trade consistently and the results will amaze you.
