Use these products for the 10-step Korean skincare regime

Step 1: Remove makeup / Pre-cleanse

Using the 'double cleanse' method, remove makeup with a gentle makeup remover fir the eyes and lips, followed by a cleansing oil for the face. Use a nutrient-rich cotton wipe which is gentle on the skin and then use a deep cleansing oil to draw out impurities within the pores.

Step 2: The Cleanse

For the second part of the 'double cleanse' method, Korean women usually will cleanse with a mild cream or foaming cleanser depending on the skin type. It is to further remove any excess traces of makeup or dirt on the surface of the skin. In this step, gently massage that face to increase circulation which will bring out a brighter complexion.

Ibling Sonic Pore Face Cleanser set, RM199

It was my first time encounter the Ibling Sonic Pore Face Cleanser, it uses sonic action to deeply cleanse and exfoliates the skin. Even when placed on water, it remains calm and does not splash the water away, which proves that it is gentle on the skin. 

Step 3: The Exfoliator

As our skin is constantly exposed to pollutants, we will need to scrub our face once or twice a week to remove the dead skin cells so that our pores will not be clogged. Do focus more on troubled areas that has visible pores and blackheads on the nose.

Step 4: The Refresher

After cleansing our face, we will need a toner to balance and restore our skin's pH level to allow better absorption of the next product, which is Essence. Toning also helps to tighten our pores.

Step 5: The Essence

Essence is often regarded as the most important step of the Korean skincare regimen. Essence is a nourishing liquid concentrate that enhances the skin's cellular renewal process, and increases the skin elasticity and firmness. Apply to a cotton pad and tap the product into the skin

Step 6: The Ampoule

Ampoules contain concentrated active ingredients with smaller molecules for a deeper penetration to target specific skin concerns. It targets problems like signs of aging, pigmentation, excessive oil production and many more, depending on the range of ampoule.

Step 7: The Sheet Mask

On top of the usual skincare routine, use a sheet mask twice a week or more if the skin condition is dry. Sheet masks are soaked in nutritious ingredients which are then absorbed into the skin. It forces the skin to absorb the nutrients and moisture intensively, before allowing the other products a chance to evaporate.

Step 8: The Eye Cream

The skin around our eyes are very thin and fragile as compared to our facial skin, hence it requires extra gentle care. It is more prone to lines, wrinkles and dehydration; so it is essential to pamper the area around the eyes. Gently dap the product around the entire eye to keep the area moisturized to prevent fine lines.

Step 9: The Moisturizer

Replenish the skin's hydration by locking it in with a lightweight emulsion. Use the fingertips to gently massage the product into the face and neck to promote healthy blood circulation.

CLIV Mediclear Cream, 70g, RM180

Step 10: The Night Cream

The final step is to apply a night cream to help lock the goodness of the serums or ampoules while adding moisture and firming effect (for anti-aging range). Another option is to use a sleeping pack which is a jelly-like texture packed with moisture and nourishing benefits, leaving the skin soft and well-hydrated.

You could skip this step in day time but remember to apply sunblock.
