Korean Skincare

Korean skincare is renowned for its innovative formulas that prioritize skin health, taking a preventative rather than reactive approach. Because the competition is so fierce in Asia, K-beauty products are constantly evolving with unique combinations of traditional ingredients and modern research. 

Try some of our authentic Korean beauty products online and experience the difference yourself! 

If you’re new to the K-beauty world, we recommend starting with the basics:

• A gentle foam cleanser 
• A replenishing toner 
• A nourishing essence 
• A hydrating moisturizer 
• Sunscreen — always remember your sunscreen! 

When you figure out a good routine, feel free to add steps to treat or pamper your skin. If you need help, check out our 5, 6, and 10-step Korean skincare routines. 

So, you've spotted a cool Korean beauty product online and can't wait to try it out? We get it! However, it's best to add new products to your regimen gradually. Also, incorporate one product at a time and allow your skin about two weeks to adjust before adding another. This will help you monitor your skin’s reaction and ensure you don’t overwhelm your skin barrier. 

Absolutely. Korean beauty is all about taking a holistic approach to healthy skin. These routines are curated to provide thorough cleansing, deep hydration, and targeted treatments, ensuring that each layer works harmoniously with the next. In addition to improving skin texture, tone, and overall appearance, they also provide a moment of self-care that we all need! 

Absolutely! K-beauty’s gentle formulations are great for sensitive skin. 

When shopping for Korean skincare products online, look for specialized ingredients for treating irritable skin, like Centella Asiatica, green tea, and snail mucin. These ingredients are known for their calming and reparative properties, making them excellent choices for those with sensitive or easily irritated skin. 

That depends on your skin type and the specific product. Generally, for most skin types, exfoliating one to two times a week is sufficient. If your skin is oily or acne-prone, you might find it beneficial to exfoliate a little more frequently, while those with sensitive or dry skin should do it less often. 

Consider the strength of the Korean exfoliator as well. Gentler products may be used more frequently than harsher ones. 

Always pay attention to how your skin reacts and adjust your routine to avoid over-exfoliation, which can lead to irritation and dryness.
