Simplifying Korean Skincare: Achieving Radiant Skin Without the 10-Step Routine

Korean skincare has become a global sensation, often celebrated for its meticulous 10-step routine. While the idea of dedicating time to 10 different steps can seem daunting, the essence of Korean skincare lies in its thoughtful approach to achieving healthy, glowing skin. The good news is, you don’t need to follow every step to see noticeable improvements.

If the idea of a 10-step routine feels overwhelming, start with a simplified approach. Here’s a streamlined Korean skincare routine that can fit into your busy schedule:

• Cleansing: Start with a gentle cleanser to remove impurities. You can opt for our Ma:nyo Pure Cleansing Oil or The Face Shop's Foaming Cleanser. Helpful tip - Wash your face twice; Once to get rid of makeup and impurities and a second time to really cleanse the surface of your skin.
• Toning: Use a toner to balance your skin’s pH and prep it for better absorption of subsequent products. Choose a hydrating or soothing toner depending on your skin’s needs. Skinfood Carrot Calming Pads are great for calming down sensitive, red or stressed skin
• Serum: Incorporate a serum that addresses your specific skin concerns, such as hydration, brightening, or anti-aging. Korean serums often have potent ingredients that deliver noticeable results with just a few drops.
• Moisturizing: Finish with a moisturizer to lock in hydration and protect your skin. You can choose a lightweight gel or a richer cream based on your skin type.
