Exfoliate

Dead skin cells are removed via exfoliation, exposing smoother, more vibrant skin underneath. Try to gently exfoliate two or three times a week.

Toning

Toners are less prevalent in Korean skincare regimens today. But if you'd rather use one, go for moisturizing, alcohol-free toners.

Essence

Lightweight and deeply moisturizing, essences work deep within the skin. For plump, dewy skin, use those with snail mucus or hyaluronic acid.

Moisturise

Water is essential for glass skin. After using your serums, use a mild moisturizing cream to seal in moisture and maintain the suppleness of your skin.
