Korean skincare routine: which product for each step?

1. Cleanse: in the evening, start with a cleansing oil on dry skin, then a gentle cleanser. In the morning, a gentle cleanser is all you need.

2. Tone: a toner or a gel toner pad preps your skin and adds a first layer of hydration.

3. Treat: choose one serum for your main concern (bounce, calm, glow, balance or density). One well-chosen serum beats three layered together.

4. Mask: one to three times a week, a hydrogel mask in the evening instead of your cream, or eye patches in the morning.

5. Moisturise: finish with a moisturiser to seal in hydration. In the morning, always add sunscreen.

Sensitive skin? Introduce one new product at a time and patch-test it on a small area first.
