7 STEP ROUTINE
Compared to the 10-step routine, this one is for those who still want the full skincare routine without going too far in depth.
START WITH A DOUBLE CLEANSE
Why Double Cleanse?
Double cleansing involves thoroughly washing your face with two different cleansers. The first oil-based cleanser is designed to remove oil-based impurities like makeup and sebum and second, a water-based cleanser is used to remove water soluble particles like dirt and pollution.
If you have oily skin and/or wear makeup daily, you might find double cleansing every evening works wonders for you. But if your skin is not particularly oil-prone or you only wear makeup occasionally, double cleansing every single night isn’t necessary, a gentle cleanser alone can do the job.
Oil Based Cleanser
Oil based cleansers gently dissolve make up, excess sebum and sunscreen from the skin. They deeply penetrate the pores to dissolve the 'bad' oils and bacteria, while keeping your good oils intact.

Water Based Cleanser
Water Based Cleansers will remove any leftover residue and make sure your face is clean and free of any dirt or pollution. Double cleansing gives you the best result for clean skin.

Toner
Toners restore the pH balance in the skin after a face wash, which causes the skin to become more alkaline. Skin tends to have a broad pH range, with acidity ranging between 4 and 7. Healthy skin pH is more acidic as that helps combat harmful microbes and damaging free radicals that quicken the aging process.

Essence
Essence plays a vital role in a Korean skincare and beauty routine. It helps maintain the skin’s moisture, hydrates it, and leaves it feeling supple.

Treatment
A serum helps target specific problem areas in your skin and gives you desired results. Serums can help in making your skin look and feel fresh with brightening properties, fading dark spots and hyperpigmentation, increasing cell turnover and even minimising of pores.

Moisturizer
Moisturizing the skin is a very essential part of any skincare routine. This helps in making the skin look smooth, healthy, and plumper. Keeping your skin moisturized daily can lower the early aging process and reduce lines & wrinkles.

Sunscreen
Don’t forget to finish your skincare regimen with SPF for protection against the sun’s harmful radiation. Sunscreen can help prevent your skin from signs of early aging.
