What do you use?

Do you currently only use water or soap? Even on your face? Then it's likely your skin feels tight after showering, gets red more easily, or becomes shiny.

Here's what you can do better.

Step 1 Cleansing

• Use a mild, water-based cleanser that removes dirt and excess impurities without drying out your skin. A water-based cleanser is a product such as a gel cleanser, foam cleanser, or milk cleanser. Not shower gel. Not hand soap.

Step 2 Toner

• After cleansing, a toner prepares your skin for the next step. Think of it as a primer for your skin. Your skin is slightly unbalanced by cleansing and restored by a toner. A toner feels watery and absorbs quickly. Korean toners are not sticky and are often fragrance-free. You can use one layer or apply multiple layers if you have time.

Step 3 Hydrate.

• Hydrate with a cream formula to strengthen your skin barrier and prevent tightness.
• A special night and day cream is not necessary. Start with one cream suitable for your skin type and use it for your evening and morning routine. You can always expand this later to another cream and a sunscreen (SPF). Read our blogs on different skin types and SPF where we delve deeper into those topics.

Is this really necessary?

Yes. This is necessary. We will explain why. Your skin deals with various external influences daily.

• shaving
• sweat
• sun and wind
• pollution

Without skincare, your skin becomes unbalanced. Often after a few days, you will start to see results from a new routine. Initially, your skin may need to adjust. All our products are mild and suitable for all skin types. They do not contain harsh ingredients and are designed to nourish and hydrate.

How long does this take?

2 - 3 minutes a day. Make it easy for yourself by, for example, keeping your cleanser by the shower or sink. You can apply your toner before brushing your teeth so it can absorb before you apply your cream.
