Korean beauty: when tradition meets innovation

Korean skincare is a South Korean beauty philosophy based on a thorough and systematic approach to achieving healthy, radiant and naturally beautiful skin. It's not just about treating skin problems as they arise, but preventing and maintaining skin health over the long term. Here are some key elements of Korean skincare:

Example of a K-Beauty 9-step skincare routine:

• Double cleansing: Two-step cleansing begins with an oil-based make-up remover to remove make-up and excess sebum, followed by a water-based cleanser to remove remaining impurities
• Exfoliation (2-3 times a week): Exfoliation removes dead cells and promotes cell renewal for a more even complexion
• Toner: rebalances the skin's pH after cleansing and prepares it to absorb subsequent products
• Essence: A unique K-Beauty product, essence is lighter than a serum but more concentrated than a toner, providing deep hydration while helping cell regeneration
• Serum/Ampoule: These are concentrated products that address specific concerns such as hyperpigmentation, wrinkles or blemishes
• Sheet mask: Easy to apply, they are very popular for moisturizing and soothing the skin
• Eye cream: To moisturize and treat the delicate skin around the eyes
• Moisturizer: Seals in moisture and protects the skin barrier
• Sun protection: Since UV rays are one of the main factors in premature skin aging, daily use of sunscreen is essential

This approach has become a worldwide phenomenon due to its visible results and its focus on long-term skin care and health.

Korean cosmetics world is deeply rooted in centuries-old traditions, where natural ingredients have always been a central concern. Plants such as Centella Asiatica, often referred to as “tiger grass”, are widely used for their soothing and restorative properties. These ingredients are carefully integrated into modern formulas to bring you effective, skin-friendly Korean skincare and beauty products.

Korea's top cosmetics brands, such as Beauty of Joseon, draw their inspiration from these historic recipes, combining elements such as rice and probiotics to create light, pleasant textures. This marriage of heritage and modern science ensures proven efficacy while preserving the environment through eco-responsible practices.

The best Korean cosmetics brands make a point of minimizing their ecological impact. At Skinorea, many of our partners are passionately committed to using sustainable and recyclable packaging. What's more, some of our brands actively participate in environmental actions such as reforestation to offset their carbon footprint.

Our commitments also include guaranteeing that the majority of products from our Korean suppliers are free from parabens, silicones, mineral oils and any form of animal cruelty. This 'clean beauty' approach sums up our philosophy: caring for your skin while respecting the planet.

K-Beauty or Korean Beauty refers to the range of skincare products and practices originating in South Korea. This global phenomenon has become popular thanks to the innovative and comprehensive approach of Korean beauty care, often based on multi-step rituals to achieve healthy, hydrated and radiant skin.

K-Beauty isn't just about ingredients. Essential techniques such as double cleansing and layering are revolutionizing beauty rituals worldwide. These methods enable us to maximize the effect of the active ingredients in our skincare products in a progressive manner, adapted to each skin type.

For example, double cleansing begins with an oil-based make-up remover followed by a gentle foaming cleanser, ensuring perfectly clean skin without irritation. This is the first step towards better absorption of serums and creams applied later.

Layering involves applying several products in a precise order. Here's a quick guide to help you master this art:

1. Toner: I'm From Rice Toner prepares your skin for the following treatments while balancing its pH level
2. Serum: Treat specific problems such as hydration or wrinkles with a retinol serum COSRX The Retinol 0.5 Oil
3. Essence: Deeply moisturizes and improves skin elasticity with COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power
4. Moisturizing cream: Seal in moisture with Dr.G Red Blemish Soothing Cream to keep your skin soft and soothed
5. Sun protection: Protect your skin against UV rays and prevent skin damage with SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum
