How to Build An Easy 5-Step Korean Nighttime Skincare Routine
Ah yes, the mythical, magical, utterly baffling K beauty skincare. Korean skincare routines are notoriously long and extensive, averaging about 10 steps every day. It follows the idea that investing time and effort in your skin will yield youthful, clear, bouncy, healthy and happy skin – and they’re not wrong! But hear us out – you can take steps beneficial for YOU and create your very own Korean skincare routine without having to add a bunch of products blindly. Take the time to understand the importance of each step and why it’s important to incorporate it into your routine. Skincare is personal and depending on your specific skin concerns and goals, you can tailor every routine to your own skin.
A simple 5 step night time skincare routine that will add endless glow to your skin
We, of course, are fans of clear, healthy, happy skin! But you can tweak this routine to fit your lifestyle and skin concerns – that’s what we love about Korean skincare! So take note of this routine and make it your own. Give this one a couple of weeks and remove and add products as per your need.
Step 1: Start fresh
Double cleansing makes sure that all the gunk, grime and excess oil is gone from your skin. It involves using an oil based cleanser (oil breaks down oil!), followed by a water based cleanser. Dissolve makeup and pollutants using the Mon Cherry Dirt Dissolving Cleansing Balm. Take a dime-sized amount and massage it over your dry face and neck. Once melted, take a minute to massage it and give it time to break down all the impurities. Rinse with lukewarm water. Now, take a pump of Mon Cherry Brightening Foam Cleanser which will deep cleanse your skin. Massage it all over your face and neck and rinse thoroughly.
Step 2: Exfoliate gently
Now that your day has been washed off, it’s time to break down dead skin and bring that glow back! Use the Mama Cica Instabright Peel Pads which are soaked in glycolic acid and papaya extracts that break down dead skin cells and reveals brighter, fresher skin. It also fades dark spots over time and leaves your skin glowing!
Step 3: Drench your skin in hydration
Korean skincare is all about layering hydration to boost absorption of products better. Instead of applying a heavy product, we layer light products on. Makes sense, right? Instead of greasy, it leaves your skin hydrated, plump and glowing. Use the Mon Cherry Intense Brightening Essence and layer it on a few times. Gently pat it into your skin to tone and rebalance your skin.
Step 4: Brighten up
When your skin is still slightly damp from the essence, apply a few drops of the Bravocado Intense Brightening Serum. It provides a heavy dose of hydration while being absolutely lightweight. It leaves behind no residue and makes your skin soft and supple, thanks to its infusion of avocado, pomegranate and rice water that nourishes the skin from deep within.
Once absorbed, follow up with the luxe Mon Cherry Overnight Peeling Mask before heading to bed as it gently exfoliates, revitalizes and nourishes the skin as you get some shut eye. It contains cherry blossom extracts that makes sure you wake up with bright, glowing, plump skin. Just apply a thin layer of the mask and let it air dry before going to bed.
Step 5: Show your eyes some love
And by that we mean, that your under eye area is sensitive and doesn’t contain as many oil glands as the rest of your face so it needs extra care. This is the part that ages the fastest – and it needs some TLC in the form of intense hydration. Apply the Mama Cica Dark Circle Fading Under Eye Cream right before going to bed to wake up with well-rested eyes that show no sign of tiredness!
So go ace your nighttime routine with this simple 5 step routine. Follow it consistently to see actual results. Good luck, beautiful!
