What is the 10-step Korean skincare routine?
The 10-step Korean skincare routine is a layered framework popularized in Korea: oil cleanser, water cleanser, exfoliant, toner, essence, serum or ampoule, sheet mask, eye cream, moisturizer and sunscreen. It's a customizable menu, not a daily mandate, and most people use only the steps their skin needs.
What is a good Korean skincare routine for beginners?
A simple beginner Korean routine is a gentle cleanser, a hydrating toner, a lightweight moisturizer and daily sunscreen, adding one targeted serum once your skin adjusts. Introduce actives slowly, one at a time, and patch-test, following the Korean principle of gentle, barrier-friendly care over many steps at once.
