It’s okay! We’re here to help.

Step 1

Cleansing OIL

Oil-based cleansers get at oil-based impurities, like makeup, sunscreen, and they do so gently without disrupting the oil balance in skin. Oil cleansers are a good alternative to makeup removers that can often be drying.

Step 2

Foam Cleansers

Foam cleanser helps cleanse the impurities that oil-based cleansers can’t and following up an oil-based cleanser with a water-based one also helps sweep away any remaining residue from the oil-based cleanser. 

Step 3

Exfoliators

Exfoliator is a textured substance or tool that sloughs away the topmost layer of skin; we’re talking things like sugar scrubs, cleansing towels, peeling gels, amongst others that, well, physically exfoliate. When done properly, physical exfoliators give you immediate results.

Step 4

Toners

Korean toners which are different from Western toners. It's milder, gently formulated as Korean skincare tends to go, and they provide that first layer of hydration in a skincare routine. It's not alcohol-laden toners. It's intended to balance and hydrate not dry skin.

Step 6

Serums & Ampoules

Step 7

Sheet Masks / Sleeping Masks

Sheet masks flood your skin with hydration and other active, beneficial ingredients, and they create a barrier over your skin so that those active, beneficial ingredients can better sink into your skin. 

Step 8

Eye Creams

Eye creams are slightly different than moisturizers, typically active ingredients to target various concerns for the eye area, providing that moisturizing and sealing effect for the delicate eye area. Applying an eye cream before or after moisturizer is OK.

Step 9

Moisturizers

Moisturizers do introduce more hydration into your skin, but it’s important to note that moisturizers come last, after super-hydrating products like essences and serums and oils, because moisturizers contain occlusives which help prevent transepidermal water loss.

Step 10

SPF

Mineral sunscreens reflect away UV rays, essentially repelling them away, while chemical sunscreens will take the UV rays, convert them into heat, and prevent them from doing damage. Chemical sunscreens ingredients, roughly 30, and they work in different ways.
