The Japanese skincare routine is well-known for focusing on gentle, nourishing products that work together to produce skin that looks radiant and healthy. You can follow this 10-step
Japanese skincare routine:
Step 1: Double Cleanse Use an oil-based cleanser to get rid of makeup and oil-based impurities, and then use a gentle foaming cleanser to get rid of water-based impurities.
Step 2: Exfoliate to remove dead skin cells, improve texture, and brighten the complexion. Use a gentle exfoliator. You can complete this step once or twice per week.
Step 3: Toner Balance the pH of the skin with a toner to prepare it for the next steps in the routine.
Step 4: Essence To boost skin moisture and improve its texture, apply a hydrating essence.
Step 5: Serum Use a serum to address specific skin issues like dark spots, fine lines, and uneven skin tone.
Step 6: Sheet Mask: Use a sheet mask to give your skin a concentrated dose of nutrients and hydration.
Step 7: Eye Cream To hydrate and firm the delicate skin around the eyes, apply a nourishing eye cream.
Step 8: Moisturizer Use a light, hydrating moisturizer to keep the nutrients and moisture from the previous steps in.
Step 9: Sunscreen To shield the skin from UV damage and delay aging, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.
Step 10: Night Cream While you sleep, apply a night cream to nourish and repair your skin. Daytime moisturizers tend to be thinner and less hydrating than night creams.
Always patch test new products and talk to a dermatologist if you have any skin-related concerns.
