The K-Beauty trend (short for Korean beauty) is all about achieving luminous glass skin using cutting-edge formulas and innovative ingredients that heal and protect your natural skin barrier. That, and staying loyal to an elaborate 10-step skincare routine. We’ll walk you through the beauty steps you need to know now.
On average the K-beauty routine looks like this, but of course, you can skip some steps and treat it as a weekly or monthly add-in.
The skin underneath your eyes is very delicate, which calls for a kind product that removes mascara and eye makeup efficiently.
Use an oil-based cleanser for the first step – this one is to remove makeup and grime gently. Follow with a water-based foam or gel to deep clean and unclog any pores.
‘Anua, Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil. This went viral on TikTok, so I had to try it to see what all the fuss was about. All the claims are true. My pores did look smaller, and my overall complexion just looked clearer and brighter after using it for a month. I love it.’
Opt for a gentle AHA exfoliant that helps improve skin tone and texture by combating discoloration and shedding the top layer of dead skin cells. For sensitive skin types, use sparingly (twice a week is a happy medium).
Toners help balance the skin’s natural PH level, remove any leftover residue, and prep the skin for the next step in your skincare routine.
This watery formula is a lighter version of a serum. Packed with active ingredients it moisturises the skin, evens out your complexion, combats wrinkles, and preps you for the next step. Gently dab or spray onto your face.
Soak your face with serums, boosters, and ampoules packed with active ingredients that will brighten, hydrate, and plump the skin.
‘Anua, Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner. This toner feels super fresh and gentle on the skin. I find it’s the perfect step after cleansing and before applying moisturiser in the evening.’
This one isn’t for everyday use, but a good weekly treat to include in your skin boosting routine.
Give your undereyes a little extra love and care with an eye cream that helps combat wrinkles and dark circles.
Lock in all that moisture with a rich moisturizer or an extra hydrating overnight pack (face mask that you don’t wash off). Soak up all that intense hydration as you snooze away. Don’t forget your neck!
One thing you need to apply religiously is SPF. Sunny, cloudy, or rainy day – it doesn’t matter. According to K-beauty rules, SPF must be applied before leaving the house to avoid any sun damage. Your skin will thank you later.

It’s not just what you apply to your skin, but how you apply it too. Warming up the product in your hands, applying it in circular motions, and gently tapping it in, will help your skin to better absorb the moisture.
Facial massages can be an excellent way to depuff, shape, and lift the face. Use your own hands or invest in a jade roller or Gua Sha stone. Not only does it eliminate puffiness, but it can also help sculpt your jawline and cheekbones for more symmetry.
