As your skin does most of its healing and renewal at night it is important to layer your products to ensure your skin is adequately hydrated.
In general, night care products are heavier than their day-counterparts.
6. Double Cleanse – this step is quintessentially Korean. It is designed to give you squeaky-clean skin!
Cleanse Step 1 ) Use an oil based cleanser to get rid of your makeup;
Cleanse Step 2) Follow up with a foam cleanser to get rid of dirt and impurities.
7. Tone – moisturise and prep the skin for the next step of skincare.
8. Face Mask – these come in different forms (sheet masks, wash off masks etc). They can be used nightly or applied 2 – 3 times a week.
9. Essence – enhance the skin’s cellular renewal process, increasing its firmness, elasticity, tone and brightness.
10. Serum / Ampoule / Lotion / Emulsion – provide a nutrient-enriched hit directly to your skin to address specific skin concerns and/or anti-aging issues.
11. Eye Cream – prevent eye bags, dark circles and puffiness by providing a hit of rich moisture directly to your delicate under-eye area.
12. Night Cream – richer than a day cream, the cream you apply at night should be thick. This helps to maximise your skin’s natural turnover while you sleep and locks in essential nutrients and hydration.
