Korean Regimen Kit: Normal Skin
This skincare regimen is for those who have normal skin looking to prevent aging, boosting radiance and keeping skin healthy.
After thorough testing, research and discussing with experts, customers and our team, we thoughtfully hand-picked a complete Korean skincare regimen for those who have normal skin. Each product is gentle enough for those with sensitive skin, and when used altogether, these products work well together and can help take your skin to another level of flawless, translucent dewiness.
Morning Routine
Your alarm goes off, it’s early, and it’s time to start the day. There’s no better way to wake up your skin than a complete skincare routine. Think of it as your complete breakfast; your skin won’t function well without it. It provides your skin with nutrients and nourishment to be healthy, happy, and under control.
Step 1: Oil Cleanser
We recommend using a double cleansing method in the evenings to break down makeup, SPF, and any other pollutants from the day. Double cleansing includes the use of an oil-based cleanser and a foaming cleanser. You don't have to worry about an oil-based cleanser clogging your pores or causing breakouts because 1) the Korean cleanser works on the surface of the skin and isn't present enough to clog or seep into the skin 2) the oil that is in these cleansers are safe to use on any skin type. These oils are not going to leave you feeling congested, oily, or like you're going to break out.The oil cleanser is used with dry hands onto dry face, directly over makeup. It's massaged into the skin, even over eye makeup, then rinsed clean. Be sure that you're rinsing all of the oil off of your skin, then follow with the foaming cleanser.
For this kit you’ll use the Aromatica Natural Coconut Cleansing Oil. An extra-gentle oil cleanser that uses 100% organic virgin cold-pressed coconut oil that gently cleanses the face while providing deep nourishment and hydration. Also formulated with omega-3's known to help with aging, calming lavender oil, and nutritive sunflower and almond oils. Leaves the skin feeling clean, refreshed, and silky soft. Experience the power of nature through this generously-sized coconut oil cleanser.
Step 2: Foaming Cleanser
Using a foaming cleanser in the morning is essential for a few reasons. It cleanses your skin of any impurities from overnight. As you sleep, your skin produces oils. You’ll want to balance your skin before starting your routine. In addition to this, a clean canvas is a better way to start your regimen as it allows your products to be absorbed with less of a barrier of entry. If your toner was applied onto skin that has not been cleansed, you won’t see the best results.
To use, apply a dime size amount to your hands. Massage onto wet skin using small circular motions. Rinse the face clean, be sure to remove any residue of the cleaner, and pat the skin dry with a clean towel (unless you’re following up with an exfoliator).
For this kit, you’ll use the Mizon Snail Repairing Foam Cleanser . A travel friendly foaming cleanser that deep cleans but with a gentle, skin rejuvenating formula. Snail secretion filtrate is rich in protein and glycolic acid to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles while helping to boost skin's firmness and elasticity. The sticky, stringy texture gets into all the nooks and crannies of your face to pick up any and all dirt that might be hiding from your eyebrow hairs to the creases by your nose.
Step 3: Exfoliator (1-3 times per week)
If radiant, glowing, smooth skin that accepts products more easily is appealing to you, you’ll want to exfoliate regularly. Exfoliation helps to remove surface dead skin cells and encourage cell turnover. It can benefit all skin types and concerns as it helps to even out skin tone, address hyperpigmentation, smooth our skin texture, and remove dead skin to prevent dirt and oils from getting clogged within the pores. Morning is an excellent time to do this. If you exfoliate in the evening, your skin will renew and rejuvenate overnight, causing some of your efforts to be lost.
To use: After cleansing, on dry skin, apply a dime sized amount of product to your hands. Apply to the face and leave on for 1-2 minutes. Gently massage the gel on the face and then rinse off with lukewarm water. We recommend using this treatment 1-3 times per week in the mornings.
For this kit you’ll use the Mizon Apple Smoothie Peeling Gel. This ultra-gentle exfoliating gel rids the skin of dead skin cells and dirt without harsh chemicals or skin-irritating microbeads. We see why this has received so much love in Korea. Experience this cocktail of fruit and botanical extracts that helps renew skin. Dirt and dead skin gently dissolve and rub off leaving your skin uber-soft.
Step 4: Toner
Time to tone. The second step in your routine should be a toner. A toner's main function is to balance the skin's pH and gently remove excess dead skin cells. This is important because when the skin's pH is balanced and dead skin is removed, a better surface for serums and lotions is achieved. If you skip this step, your routine becomes less effective and results are muted.
To use, apply a dime sized amount of toner to a cotton pad. Sweep over the face. Allow it to absorb before moving on to the next step.
For this kit you’ll use the Be the Skin Botanical Nutrition Toner, an all-natural, no-frills toner that balances the skin's pH level thanks to botanicals and timeless herbs. This product helps prep skin with hydration for following serums and lotions. It includes refreshing and anti-bacterial botanicals like witch hazel and thyme, as well as hyaluronic acid to nourish and hydrate.
Step 5: Essence
The essence is essential. Allow us to explain. The next step in your routine may be new to you, but an essence is a crucial part of a Korean skincare routine. An essence is a watery serum that allows your skin to accept products more effectively. It delicately hydrates the skin and absorbs fairly quickly.
To use, you can either apply to a cotton pad, then pat into the skin, or you can apply to your hands, then pat into the skin. As long as you pat the product onto your face, you’re ensuring that is being absorbed and applied correctly.
For this kit you’ll use the Saturday Skin Freeze Frame Beauty Essence. Formulated with pomegranate extract which infuses skin with rich moisture, boosting elasticity and firmness. Lightweight but concentrated nourishment helps increase firmness, hydration and youthful appearance instantly and over time.
Step 6: Sheet Mask
Sheet masks helps to provide deep relief for skin concerns using targeted ingredients to produce specific results. Looking to brighten, address fine lines and wrinkles, address breakouts, or hydration concerns? Apply a sheet mask that caters to your need. These allow you to optimize your skincare routine to your skin that day. These can be applied morning or evening.
To use, open the package and remove the mask. Unfold and align the mask onto your face. There’s time limits on the packaging (typically 10-30 minutes), be sure to remove when the time is up. Discard the mask and pat the remaining essence into the skin. Don’t wash off your skin. At this point, you can continue with your regimen and apply your serums, or you can head skip the serums and go to the eye cream step. It all depends on your time needs and how your skin is feeling that day.
In this kit you’ll use the Chubby Cheeks Lift + Plump Sheet Mask. Combat gravity with shots of skin-firming power ingredients, and bring back the chubby cheeks you were born with. This mask contains collagen-boosting ingredients and a powerful dose of nourishment to help firm, plump, and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. Conditioning agents, brightening ingredients, and a blast of antioxidants and hydration promote radiance and a glow with bounce.
Step 7: Serums
Now it’s personal. During the serum step of your routine, you can layer one or more serums to achieve your skincare goals. Serums are targeted treatments that contain super small molecules targeted at specific skin concerns. This is a step where you can customize your routine to your time needs as well as your skin's needs. If you're limited in amount of time that you have, you can apply one serum in the day time and one in the evening. If you have a busier morning, apply one in the morning and both at night.
It's truly a personalized step that will allow you to achieve your skincare goals and not take up too much time. The other benefit to these products is that they are so light in texture that they absorb very quickly to the skin.
To use the first serum (Aromatica Neroli Brightening Facial Oil), apply 1-2 drops to your hands and massage over the face. Allow 15-30 seconds for the product to soak in and follow with one pump of the second serum (Be the Skin Purifying White Waterful Serum).
The two serums in this kit are:
The Be the Skin Purifying White Waterful Serum — This serum helps clarify and brighten the skin with botanicals such as mushrooms, green tea extract and arbutin.
Aromatica Neroli Brightening Facial Oil —This natural, organic facial oil is formulated with neroli oil to help renew and brighten dull complexions. Neroli oil is known to help with skin regeneration so that dull skin may appear brighter and uneven skin tones appear more evened out for healthier skin.
Step 8: Eye Cream
Often overlooked, yet incredibly essential, the eye cream step is quick and easy. . It's important not to skip this step because the eye area is so delicate and prone to damage that special care is essential. The skin under and surround the eyes is very thin (the eye lids have the thinnest skin on the body). This means that it's more prone to dehydration, fine lines, and irritation. An eye cream is formulated to deliver the adequate nutrients to prevent the look of aging, dark circles, or dehydration.
To use, apply a very small amount to the ring fingers. Use a patting motion as you apply to the orbital bone, temple area, and the eye lids. Don't massage this skin or rub the area to apply. This will cause fine lines and could irritate the area. Avoid applying it too close to the eye itself as this can be painful if it makes it's way into the eye. This should be applied morning and night, but if you're pressed for time, once a day is acceptable.
For this kit, you’ll use the Aromatica Rose Absolute Eye Cream. The Rose Eye Cream is formulated with some of the highest quality Bulgarian rose oil, organic Argan oil, and organic aloe vera to leave the delicate eye area looking and feeling smoother and more moisturized.
Step 9: Moisturizer
Onto the finish line! The last step in your routine should be a moisturizer. A moisturizer not only hydrates the skin, it also seals in moisture. Moisturizers don't have to be heavy creams that leave you feeling congested or over hydrated. Instead, there are some incredible formulations that provide healthy hydration without leaving you feeling oily. You'll want to follow this step with an SPF during the day time as well.
To use take a pea sized amount onto your fingertips. Massage it into your face. Once it’s absorbed, follow with an SPF.
In this kit you’ll use the Eco Your Skin No. 15 Cream. The bouncy, lightweight cream melts right into skin while it's star ingredient works to help lift and firm. Pea protein extract helps protect skin from pollution and provides much needed hydration to skin. The key to applying this magical cream it is to massage it upwards, away from your chin to help increase the lifting effect. It's hard to beat waking up to firm, yet baby soft skin, every morning.
Step 10: Sunscreen
We mentioned that we recommend ending your morning routine with an SPF. Though it’s not included in kit, if you’re looking for a great sunscreen that works with all skin types, we recommend the Lagom Sun Gel. This facial sunscreen is so lightweight you won't even remember you're wearing it. Formulated with SPF 50 UVB protection plus PA+++, it has the max UVA protection so that it provides a full and comprehensive sun shield for your skin all day long! With seamless absorbability and a matte finish, it's the perfect daily accompaniment to your youthful complexion, keeping it bright, beautiful, and rejuvenated for years to come.
Evening Routine
The day is done, it’s time to get some beauty sleep. Before you head to bed, it’s essential to do your nightly regimen. Your nightly regimen allows your skin to renew as you sleep, absorb all of the amazing products and deeply treat your skin. This routine is almost identical to your morning routine.
