Korean Glo – Korean Skin Care

No. it is not necessary, you can achieve great skin with just 3 to 4 steps. Ingredients in cosmetics especially in cream, serum, ampoule, essence and so on are most likely similar but textures and content (concentration) are different. Thus, you don’t have to use similar products several times. Important thing is to know your skin type and create your own skincare routine by referring to “Get the Glo’. (insert hyperlink)

Yes and No. Most of Koreans have their skin care routine as double cleansing – toner – moisturiser – eye cream or serum (it depends) at least. More products does not necessarily mean better skin. However, we definitely have this skin routine .  Of course a good skin routine is not the only factor for good skin, however these are necessary steps to make each skincare product work well together to ensure a good skin balance.

Toner helps your skin to be optimized in order to accept the nutrition from the next step of skincare. We mostly feel that face becomes dry after washing. Toner helps to balance the pH level of skin. If you start to use toner before any moisturiser, you will feel difference.

Double cleansing is preferable because one step cleansing does not completely remove the sebum, sunscreen and makeup residue unless you put a lot of effort into cleansing. However, cleansing should be in a gentle way that does not irritate your skin.  A cleansing balm or cleansing oil is recommended as the first cleanse as it breaks down oils and make up effectively.
