Cleanse

Cleansing is the first and most essential step in any skincare routine. It removes dirt, oil, and impurities, helping your skin stay fresh and ready to absorb the benefits of your other products. In Korean skincare, double cleansing is a key technique that ensures a deep, thorough clean without stripping the skin’s natural moisture.

Double cleansing involves two steps: First, use an oil-based cleanser to break down makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum. This step helps dissolve oils and other impurities that water-based cleansers can't fully remove. Next, follow with a water-based cleanser to wash away the remaining residue and refresh your skin. This method prevents clogged pores and ensures a clean canvas, which can improve the efficacy of serums and moisturizers, giving you clearer, healthier-looking skin.
