5-Step Korean Skincare Routine for Beginners

You're new to Korean skincare, you might feel overwhelmed by the 10-step routines you've seen online. Good news – you don’t need 10 products to get glowing, healthy skin. Here's a simplified 5-step Korean skincare routine using products available on Glowessiantials – perfect for busy mornings or lazy evenings.


Step 1: Gentle Cleanse

Start with a mild cleanser to remove dirt, makeup, and excess oil without stripping your skin.

Step 2: Hydrating Essence

Try: Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic Essence – £20.00

This essence delivers a powerful hydration boost and prepares your skin to absorb the next steps. It’s lightweight, non-greasy, and rich in antioxidants.

Step 3: Sheet Mask (2-3 times per week)

Try: Hydrating Hyaluronic Sheet Mask or Collagen Supreme Sheet Mask – from £2.50

Sheet masks are a Korean skincare staple. They deeply moisturize, calm the skin, and give that "glass skin" look.

Step 4: Moisturize

Try: Spa Treatment eX Skin Taut Cream – £35.00

Lock in all the hydration with this collagen and hyaluronic acid cream. It firms the skin and smooths fine lines while keeping your skin supple.

Step 5: Sunscreen (Morning Routine Only)

Never skip SPF – even on cloudy days!
