💡K-Beauty Skincare FAQs
What is a basic skincare routine?
What is a basic skincare routine?
A good skincare routine doesn’t have to be complicated. Start with the basics:
Morning: Cleanser → Toner → Serum → Moisturizer → Sunscreen
Night: Cleanser → Toner → Serum → Sheet Mask (1–3 times a week) → Moisturizer
Sheet masks are an easy way to add extra hydration or targeted care for concerns like dryness, dullness, or irritation. Use them as an optional step rather than something you need every day.
What ingredients should sensitive skin be careful with?
What ingredients should sensitive skin be careful with?
Sensitive skin can react differently from person to person, but it’s best to be cautious with strong exfoliating acids, high-strength retinol(retinal), high-strength Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid), benzoyl peroxide, and heavily fragranced products.
You don’t necessarily need to avoid them completely—start with a low concentration, introduce one active at a time, and patch test first.
Introduce active ingredients slowly and patch test first. Look for soothing ingredients like Centella, Panthenol, Ceramides, and Heartleaf to help keep your skin comfortable.
