You've probably heard the buzz around the K-Beauty Routine. Korean skincare has taken the world by storm, promising glowing, youthful, and healthy skin through a careful, multi-step approach designed to pamper your skin.
These simple steps will make a big change in your skin and after knowing this you will know about why it's so popular worldwide, and how you can start.
The K-Beauty Routine focuses on layering products that work in harmony to deeply hydrate, nourish, and protect the skin barrier. Each step is intentional, delivering benefits like gentle cleansing, targeted treatments, and powerful sun protection.
Morning Skincare Routine (AM)
Step 1: Face Cleanser
A Face Cleanser is your first step to a fresh morning face. Even while you sleep, your skin produces oils and accumulates impurities.
This step gently dissolves sebum without stripping your skin. Apply it to dry skin and massage in circular motions to break down any overnight buildup. Rinse with lukewarm water to reveal clean, soft skin ready for the next step.
Step 2: Face Masks
Hydrating face masks are a great way to give your skin extra moisture and care, especially when it feels dry or tired. They help make your skin soft, smooth, and glowing by providing deep hydration.
One good option is the Rosehip Oil Face Mask, which is made with natural ingredients to nourish and refresh your skin gently.
Step 3: Exfoliator
Exfoliation removes dead skin cells that can make your skin look dull. For beginners, limit this step to 1–2 times per week to avoid irritation.
A gentle yet effective option to consider is the Ubtan Noor Face Scrub, which combines natural ingredients like turmeric and Multani mitti to brighten and soften your skin without harshness..
Step 4: Treatments (Serums)
Our Retinol Face Serum and ampoules deliver concentrated active ingredients to effectively target skincare concerns like brightening, hydration, and fine lines. Vitamin C is also a popular choice, especially for morning use, thanks to its antioxidant properties.
Dispense a small amount of your chosen serum, gently press it into your skin, and allow it to absorb fully before moving on to the next step. Regular use ensures visible improvements in skin texture and tone.
Step 5: Moisturizer
Lock in all that hydration with a moisturizer suitable for your skin type. Creams or gels seal in previous steps while supporting your skin barrier.
For rich, nourishing care, try the Shea Almond Body Butter, which deeply moisturizes and leaves your skin feeling soft and supple. Smooth it evenly over your face and neck (or body) for lasting hydration and comfort all day.
Step 6: SPF
Never skip sunscreen in the morning. SPF is essential for protecting your skin from harmful UV rays that cause premature aging and sun damage.
A great daily option is the Niacinamide Sunscreen SPF, which offers broad-spectrum protection while also providing skin-soothing benefits from niacinamide.
Use a generous amount each morning and remember to reapply if you're outside for extended periods.
Night Skincare Routine (PM)
Step 1: Scrub
At night, cleansing away the day is crucial. A good cleanser helps remove makeup, sunscreen, and pollution that build up on your skin. For a gentle yet effective clean, you can use the Ubtan Noor Face Scrub to lift away dirt and impurities while also providing mild exfoliation.
Massage it onto damp skin with light pressure, then rinse thoroughly. This first step ensures your skin feels fresh and clean, ready for the rest of your nighttime routine.
Step 2: Face Serum
After scrubbing and then cleansing your face thoroughly with a water-based cleanser to remove any leftover impurities, it's time to treat your skin with a nourishing serum.
Apply the Kumkumadi Radiant Face Serum, which is enriched with traditional ingredients to help brighten, hydrate, and improve your skin’s texture overnight.
Gently massage a few drops onto clean, damp skin and let it absorb fully. This step prepares your skin to soak in all the benefits of your nighttime routine, leaving it healthy and glowing.
Step 3: Exfoliation
Nighttime is the perfect moment to exfoliate because your skin naturally repairs itself while you sleep. Exfoliating at night helps remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and clear away the day’s impurities like pollution, sweat, and sunscreen residue. It reveals fresher, smoother skin and allows your serums and moisturizers to absorb better.
But be careful not to overdo it, limit exfoliation to one or two times a week to avoid irritating or damaging your skin barrier. To exfoliate, gently apply the product to clean, damp skin, massage in soft circular motions without scrubbing harshly, and rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, leaving your skin refreshed and radiant.
Step 4: Toner
After cleansing—and exfoliating if it’s your designated day—your skin can feel slightly tight or stripped. Applying toner helps restore balance by replenishing lost moisture and resetting your skin’s pH, which can be disrupted during cleansing. It also prepares your skin to better absorb the hydrating treatments that follow.
At night, using a toner is especially important because your skin tends to lose moisture as you sleep. Simply pour a small amount onto a cotton pad or into your palms, then gently sweep or pat it over your face and neck. Choose a hydrating, soothing formula with ingredients like rose water, hyaluronic acid, or glycerin to keep your skin calm, soft, and perfectly primed for the next steps of your routine.
Step 5: Night Cream
Night creams or sleeping masks lock in all the previous steps, delivering deep nourishment while you sleep. For rich, soothing care, try the Kumkumadi Nourishing Night Crème, which is crafted with traditional ingredients to help restore and brighten your skin overnight.
Opt for this thicker formula that supports your skin barrier and leaves you waking up to soft, healthy, and glowing skin.
