Try Out This Korean Night-Time Skincare Routine To Get Radiant Skin

Koreans are famous for not only their heartwrenching K-dramas but also their obsession with skincare. Everyone has been obsessed with the Korean '10-step skincare system' that you are probably no stranger to. But we are also aware of how we are all too lazy to complete the 10-step skincare steps, and that's why we have shortened the steps to make things easier for you.

While you're cooped up at home, why not spend some self-indulgent time on your Korean skincare routine and give yourself a good facial treatment at the comfort of your home? And soon you will be on your way to getting a glowy, radiant and flawless skin.

One of the most important skincare steps in our skincare routine is to double cleanse our face. Hold up, we're not just talking about washing your face with water twice. Double cleansing by first using an oil-based makeup remover to remove any makeup and impurities on your face.

If you have sensitive skin, do skip this step! But if you suffer from oily skin or clogged pores, try using a gentle exfoliant once a week only on the parts of your face that need it.

One common mistake that we all tend to do is to apply our face moisturiser to our under eyes. Do not do it as the skin near our eyes are very delicate. Use a specific eye cream to reduce puffiness and dark circles while reducing the dryness of that area.

#8 Apply moisturiser
