And what happens at the end of the day after all the tiredness of the day and the pollutants of the environment?
It is very important to take care of our skin at night to rest, rejuvenate and keep our skin hydrated.
The night beauty routine consists of the following steps:

Evening

1. Oil-based facial cleanser (makeup cleanser)

The first step in the evening routine is an oil-based cleanser that removes oil-based makeup and impurities from the skin.

2. Water-based facial cleanser
After cleaning, use a water-based cleaner to gently remove the oily residue and water-based contaminants that have built up throughout the day.

3. Peeling
Korean women religiously scrub their bodies and faces to open pores and maximize treatment results. It is also common practice to use exfoliating gloves to remove dead skin and impurities. Apply a pearl-based scrub or gentle enzyme scrub twice a week to remove dead skin cells that can dull the complexion and clog pores to prevent absorption of key cleansing actives. Don’t forget to use both cold and warm towels to open and close pores before applying scrubs and products.

4. Toner
Applying toner is essential to balance the pH of the skin. This will prevent the skin from drying out and drying out. Toner also helps absorb the next products you apply.

5. Essence / Serum / Oil

Essence is a blend of toner and serum. It works seamlessly to hydrate the complexion and support cellular rejuvenation for a youthful appearance.

6. Ampoule
Similar to a serum, an ampoule is like a supercharged serum that contains an even higher amount of active ingredients to address specific skincare concerns. It is used as a booster for a limited time when the skin really needs extra help. By using the ampoule at night, the skin can absorb all the moisture it needs for the next day.

7. Serum
Serum is concentrated-rated formula with an exceptional amount of active ingredients targeting specific concerns – from wrinkles to dark spots to dehydration. Work the serum into specific problem areas.

8. Sheet Mask
The Korean’s beauty favorite is the Sheet Mask, which delivers a deep moisturizing and anti-aging treatment. Featuring a cloth soaked with skin-friendly ingredients, the mask is perfect for all skin types and beneficial for everyone. Some Korean women even use a face mask more than once a day, no matter how busy they are.

9. Eye Cream
After skin has absorbed the sheet mask ingredients, apply an eye cream to hydrate and protect the delicate eye area.

10. Moisturizer
Finally, choose an evening moisturizer to keep all the wonderful ingredients in your skin and ensure you wake up with a stunningly revitalized complexion.

11. Sleep mask (optional step)

Sleep masks are born from the knowledge that our skin experiences a lot of stress and disturbances during the day from environmental factors such as free radicals, pollution, stress, weather, indoor heating and UV rays etc. All these factors can disrupt not only the moisture/oil balance of our skin and its texture , but can also lead to the breakdown of skin cells, which also leads to premature signs of aging (including wrinkles, pigmentation, dullness).

Do you know…?

At night, your skin has an increased rate of cell renewal. This means it works its hardest to reverse skin damage, boost collagen production and fight free radicals. Skin cell regeneration almost doubles between the peak time of 11pm to 4am, so it’s important to make sure you’re sleeping at this time to reap the benefits.
Even at night, the skin temperature is higher and has a better absorption capacity, making it more receptive to active ingredients, as these can penetrate deeper and work more effectively without external influence. On the flip side, however, greater skin moisture loss occurs at night, so it’s important to make sure you’re well hydrated to hydrate and retain water that may be lost during your sleep.
