The 10-step Korean skincare routine has increasingly become popular since the famous Korean makeup artist showed off her dewy, glass skin. Most of us, if not all, want to have clear skin, but this lengthy skincare routine will cost you a pretty penny.

That being said, if you are wise about what you save on and what you splurge on when purchasing products, it is possible to do even within a budget.

In this blog post, we dive deeper into the Korean skincare routine to determine which items are worth breaking the bank for and which you can save on.

Follow this K-beauty inspired 10-step routine for dewy, glass skin. There won’t be a single pore left untouched…

1. Oil cleanser

2. Cream/Foam cleanser

3. Toner

4. Essence

5. Emulsion

6. Serum

7. Sheet mask

8. Eye Cream

9. Moisturiser

10. Sunscreen

Although all steps in this routine are advised, most of us cannot afford to spend money on every single item. To determine what to splurge on, we have to understand what makes this routine so effective. The most critical steps in the Korean skincare regimen are cleansing, exfoliating, moisturizing, serums, and sunscreen. Out of these five steps, it is easiest to find effective but affordable cleansers, exfoliators and moisturizers. This, therefore, means that we should save on cleansers, moisturizers and exfoliators and invest in premium serums and sunscreen.

Most of us only started using a serum as part of our skincare routine recently. Serums contain unprecedented amounts of active ingredients that target specific skin problems such as dehydration, hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, congested skin, etc. Based on what your main skincare concerns are, you should choose a serum that will treat and correct your skin appropriately.

There is no point in investing in expensive skincare products if you are not going to protect your skin from what causes it harm, either. Having a good sunscreen will ensure that you do not keep having to deal with the same problems over and over again. Sunscreen protects the skin from harmful UV rays that cause premature aging, fine lines and wrinkles, age spots, skin discoloration, as well as dull and dry skin.

The moral of the story? Before trying out this 10-step K-beauty routine make sure you’ve got your skincare basics covered… and don’t try to save on the important stuff, like good quality sunscreen and serum.

If you are trying to achieve glass skin, then you understand the importance of effective skincare for hydration – cleansing, toning, exfoliating and most importantly moisturising your skin. Glass skin is exceptionally smooth and even-toned and this is achieved by regularly exfoliating the skin and keeping it moisturised and hydrated. To achieve and maintain glass skin, you should incorporate the following ingredients and treatments into your skincare regimen.

Glycolic acid

Glycolic acid is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid, commonly known as AHA. It has become very popular in the beauty industry, with most beauty companies incorporating it into their cleansers, toners and moisturisers. If you are still wondering what is the fuss about, then you should know that glycolic acid gently exfoliates the outermost layer of the skin while hydrating the skin all at the same time. It also helps treat acne-prone skin, hyperpigmentation as well as fine lines and wrinkles.

Hyaluronic acid

I cannot stress enough the importance of hydrating your skin, especially if you want to maintain or achieve glass skin. Making sure that you take at least eight glasses of water a day will is a good start, but that alone is not enough to keep your skin hydrated. You need to invest in skincare for hydration. Hyaluronic acid is a powerful humectant. It improves the skin’s ability to retain moisture, and visibly plumps up the skin after a few applications for a youthful and glowy look.

Hydrafacials

Facials do to our skin what servicing does to a car. Even with a proper skincare routine in place, our skin requires extra care and attention now and then. Hydrafacials are multifunctional treatments that target various skin problems. This treatment utilises the benefits of hyaluronic acid, peptides and other super-serums to correct textured and dehydrated skin, dark spots, enlarged pores as well as congested skin. The hydrafacial treatment also uses the vortex cleaning system and anti-oxidant delivery for healthier radiant skin.

A well-curated skincare routine and regular facial treatments will help achieve and maintain your glass skin. Keeping your skin hydrated will improve its elasticity, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, combat excess production of sebum and make it more resilient to free radicals.

A few years ago, a Korean makeup artist went viral for her glass skin look. Since then, the ten-step Korean skincare routine has become very popular in the beauty world. Many men and women adopted this skincare routine and some even swear by it. Although this routine delivers good results, it is not a sustainable option for many. It requires a lot of time and money, so if you cannot afford this lengthy skincare routine, not to worry, you can still achieve glass skin using personalised facial treatments.

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is an advanced exfoliating treatment that involves scraping off dead skin as well as facial hair using a sterilised blade. This facial treatment delivers an instant glow to the skin, reduces skin texture and aids in deeper penetration of other products. If you suffer from dull skin, this treatment will do wonders for you.

HIFU Facial

This is a non-surgical facelift done using high intensity focused ultrasound. It targets ageing or sagging skin, and results are visible immediately after the procedure. Precise and focused ultrasound beams penetrate the dermis, adipose tissue and superficial fascia generating thermal coagulation points. This initiates the regeneration of soft collagen fibres and multidimensional firming due to the contraction of tissues and the production of collagen. This treatment is effective for firming and tightening the skin and it does not require any downtime.

Hydrafacial

If you have several skin concerns, then you will love this multifunctional facial treatment. It targets enlarged pores, dry and dehydrated skin, uneven texture, congested skin as well as dark spots. It combines the vortex cleansing system with super serums, peptides and hyaluronic acid as well as anti-oxidant delivery to treat dehydrated skin. Hyaluronic acid helps the skin retain more water for a more supple look.

These are just but a few of the available facial treatments in the market. Depending on what your skin needs, your esthetician can come up with personalised treatments targeting all your skin concerns. Facial treatments, together with a simple skincare routine, offer more effective and long-lasting results.
