‘I am OBSESSED with k beauty’: ‘Have you tried that Korean sunscreen that went viral’ might be some of the first words you would have heard about Korean skincare on your FYP. When that woman on your TikTok or Instagram reel talked about how her skin is so clear and glowing using certain products you might have thought ‘I wish I had skin like hers’ but don’t you worry here are the best of the products that have worked so good for me and my
Friends! ( FYI these work best for oily, combination, clogged pores, and flaky, sensitive skin)
STEP 1 – Cleansing with SKIN1004 Madagascar Cleansing Oil and THE FACE SHOP Rice Cleanser
Cleansing oil works best for tackling that excess sebum, makeup, or sunscreen you applied repeatedly. It is lightweight with a Centella that calms your sensitive skin! For the double cleansing, using a foaming rice cleanser will help the best in removing the leftover gunk and returning that leftover moisture to the skin.
STEP 2 – Mediheal Madecassoside Blemish Pad
While physical exfoliation is aggressive and irritates the skin using calming toner pads acts as a face mask and helps in preventing any breakouts and the appearance of blemishes.
STEP 3 – Beauty of Joseon Glow Deep Serum Rice + Alpha-Arbutin Want to achieve that ‘glass skin’? This is your first step to glowy and dewy skin without the use of makeup. This will help you in achieving a radiant glow with the niacinamide and the active ingredients which brightens the complexion by increasing the cell turnover.
STEP 4 – COSRX Oil-Free Ultra-Moisturizing Lotion with Birch Sap
I don’t like thick and heavy moisturizers that create a layer of skin that acts like heavy grease. Cosrx is lightweight with a gel-like texture which when absorbed provides healthier skin.
STEP 5 ROUND LAB Birch Moisturizing Sunscreen UVLock SPF 45+ Broad Spectrum As important as moisturizing the skin, protecting it from UV radiation is just as crucial! The best part of it is that it’s easy to blend with no white cast and it doesn’t even burn the eyes when rubbed in! The aqua gel nature helps in penetrating the skin effectively
If you are a beginner and looking for somewhere to start, this can be the first step to your skincare routine. When your skin feels comfortable with these steps you can incorporate new steps or add new products like eye creams, retinol, and essence. As always it is a journey: It takes time to get good skin while taking into account other factors like a healthy diet and sufficient water intake. Let your skin breathe and give it some time to tell you if it’s favorable for you!
