The 10 Step Korean Skin Care Night Time Routine

Home: Project

1. Double cleansing

The double cleansing is essential in Korean skin care. Start with an oil-based facial cleanser that melts and removes most of the dirt and makeup off your skin. Follow with a water-based facial cleanser that removes the last residues of dirt and oil. In this step you can also use a cleansing device.

Step 2 Exfoliator / wash off

Exfoliate about 1-3 times a week using a classic face scrub, facial peeling or a chemical peeling that cleans the skin deeply and removes dead skin cells.

Step 3 Toner

A Korean toner is not quite the same as your regular toner in Europe. A Korean toner is used to restore the PH balance of the skin after cleansing and preparing the skin for skincare products followed. A korean toner rarely contains alcohol and is often patted into the skin using your hands.

Step 4 Essence

An essence looks like toner but is far more nourishing than a toner. Essence is patted in to the skin using your hands. Some essences are called first treatment essence and can be used instead of the toner, i.e. as the first step directly after cleansing.

Step 5 Treatments

Treatments, serums and ampoules

Serums and ampouls are concentrated skin care that enhances the effects of the following creams and moisturizers. 2-3 drops is usually enough. Step 5 also includes special treatments like pore minimizers or vitamin C serum, and certain AHA and BHA products.

Korea is known for their sheet masks available in lots of different variations, scents and skin needs. Sheet masks are used about 1-3 times / week for 10-20 minutes. This step also include facial oils like argan or jojoba oil. Step 6 also includes the emulsion, a lighter type of moisturizer used in the night routine.

Step 9 Sleep pack / sleep mask / sleep mask
A sleep mask, or sleep pack is typical in Korea, and used ones or more every week to “lock in” all creams and serums during the night. A sleep mask absorbs in to the skin as a protective layer. Wash off  in the morning during the morning routine.

Step 10  Moisturiser

Lastly, select a night time moisturiser to keep those skin loving ingredients locked in, allowing you to wake to a beautifully rejuvenated complexion. 
Sunscreen SPF

In Korea, sunscreen or SPF is a must during daytime. SPF is therefore always included in a Korean skin care routine, apply in the morning.
