What is K-Beauty
K-Beauty is the secret to looking as luminous as is humanly possible.
The K-beauty industry targets everybody, both male and female, and it’s not just about make-up. A huge focus goes on skincare.
Moisturising and looking after your skin, before even thinking about putting products on it, is hugely important.
Traditionally, Korean women favour glowing ‘glass’ skin over layers of foundation, and a lengthy routine that focuses on clarifying, toning and layers of hydration allows them to achieve optimum luminosity.
An average K-Beauty night-time skin regime looks a something like this. Of course, there are many of these steps you can skip in the morning, (ditching the make-up remover and dropping the oil cleanser), and equally a few you can treat as a weekly or monthly add-in.
The 10-Step is more than a routine—it’s a lifestyle that has become a global phenomenon, grounded in Korea’s cultural obsession with healthy skin and backed by decades of scientific advancement. It’s not about having more products than you can count, but rather about having the right products that do the right things, and using them in the right order.
The 10 step Routine:
1. Oil cleanser – Removes first layer of dirt & make up
2. Water based cleanser – Makes sure there is no residue left after oil cleanser
3. Exfoliator – get rid of skin cells and makes it possible for skin products to penetrate pores
4. Toner – Balances your skin ph levels
5. Essence – Aids cell turn over while hydrating & repairing skin
6. Treatments – Targets & treats specific skin needs ( treatments come in form of Boosters, Ampoules & serums
7. Sheet Masks – Maximizes Nourishment
8. Eye Cream – Protects & hydrates delicate eye areas
9. Moisturiser – seals in moisture & smooths away fine lines
10. Sun Protection – Prevents ageing & skin cancer
