The renowned Korean skincare regimen features a 7-step routine designed to transform your skin. Products included in this routine include the following:
STEP 1: OIL-BASED CLEANSER
Begin with an oil-based cleanser like the Essential Mool Deep Cleansing Oil to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum. Using an oil-based product first ensures a thorough cleanse without stripping your skin's natural moisture.
STEP 2: WATER-BASED CLEANSER
Follow with a water-based cleanser such as the Essential Mool Mousse Foam Cleanser or the Essential Mool Micro Deep Cleansing Foam to remove sweat, dirt, and any remaining impurities for a completely clean slate.
STEP 3: EXFOLIATOR
Unveil a smoother, more vibrant complexion by incorporating regular exfoliation. Depending on your skin's needs, gently slough away dull, dead skin cells and encourage healthy cell turnover. Consider BeginS by JUNGSAEMMOOL Peeling Ampoule 19.5, a skin-texture renewing wash-off treatment that softly melts away old cells and sebum with its high-concentration acids, revealing a clarified and refined surface.
STEP 4: TONER
Prep your skin with a hydrating toner like the Essential Mool Toner to restore pH balance and prime it for better absorption of the following products. Alternatively, quench thirsty skin with BeginS by JUNGSAEMMOOL Aqua Serum Toner. This innovative formula, enriched with patented low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, delivers an immediate and deep surge of moisture, leaving your complexion refreshed and receptive.
STEP 5: SERUM
Address specific skin concerns with a concentrated serum designed for deep penetration. BeginS by JUNGSAEMMOOL Pore Perfecting Serum offers a targeted solution to visibly tighten pores, improve their overall appearance, and promote a balanced complexion, refining your skin's texture for a smoother, more even look.
STEP 6: MOISTURISER
Lock in hydration with a moisturiser, such as the Essential Mool Cream or Essential Mool Cream Light. Make sure to choose one that suits your skin type so that you can have skin that is soft, smooth, and nourished. For an added boost of hydration, indulge your skin with BeginS by JUNGSAEMMOOL Aqua Recharging Cream, designed to replenish moisture for a perfectly hydrated complexion. If refining pores is a key concern, BeginS by JUNGSAEMMOOL Pore Tightening Cream helps to visibly tighten pores and improve their density.
STEP 7: MASKS
Complete your routine with a sheet mask or sleeping mask to provide an extra dose of hydration and aid in skin repair. Try the Essential Mool Cream Light Mask Set or the Essential Mool Cream Mask Set, both designed to rejuvenate and refresh your skin.
A SIMPLIFIED ROUTINE FOR BUSY DAYS
While the 7-step routine is ideal for comprehensive care, you can still achieve optimal results by focusing on these three core steps:
CLEANSER
Instead of getting both an oil-based and water-based cleanser, you can choose between either cleanser. Select one based on your skin's needs.
MOISTURISER
Then, proceed to use a moisturiser to keep your skin hydrated and healthy.
SUNSCREEN
Keep your skin protected from harmful UV rays with broad-spectrum sunscreen, a crucial step for minimising the risk of premature ageing and sun damage. JUNGSAEMMOOL has a selection of sun protection products for you to choose from, the Sunsual Vita Capsule Sun, Sunsual Ice Sun Stick, and Sunsual Active Proof Sun. The innovative Masterclass Ampoule Sun is another unique formula infused with a Safety Mool Ampoule™ that creates a clear, moisturising shield, preventing moisture loss while effectively defending against UV exposure.
Whether you embrace the full 7-step Korean skincare routine or stick to the basics, consistency is key to achieving healthier, more radiant skin. Explore JUNGSAEMMOOL’s curated collection of Korean beauty products online to find the perfect match for your routine!
COMMON INGREDIENTS IN KOREAN SKINCARE & BEAUTY PRODUCTS
At JUNGSAEMMOOL, our products are designed with care, incorporating these components to deliver transformative results. Some of the key ingredients featured in our skincare and beauty line include:
GLYCERIN
Glycerin is a classic hydrating ingredient that helps promote moisture in the outer layer of your skin and improves your skin barrier function.
HYALURONIC ACID
Hyaluronic acid helps in increasing the moisture content of your skin, which helps give your skin a plump and hydrated look. This ingredient can also be found in some of our Korean cosmetics products.
NIACINAMIDE
Niacinamide is a type of vitamin B3 that aids in building the skin's proteins and locking in moisture to protect the skin from environmental damage.
CERAMIDE
Ceramides are essential lipids that fortify the skin barrier, locking in moisture and shielding it from environmental stressors like pollution and UV rays.
THE 7-SKIN METHOD
In addition to the famous 7-step skincare routine, Korea has introduced innovative skincare hacks that have captured global attention. One of the most popular is the 7-Skin Method, a toner-layering technique designed to deeply hydrate and rejuvenate your skin.
This method involves applying toner up to seven times in thin, even layers. By allowing your skin to absorb one layer at a time, you optimise hydration and improve your skin's ability to retain moisture. Not only does this technique promote better hydration, but it also enhances the absorption of other skincare products, making your overall routine more effective.
HOW TO APPLY THE 7-SKIN METHOD
- Start with slightly damp skin to help your toner absorb more efficiently.
- Apply a small amount of toner to your hands or a cotton pad and gently pat it on your skin.
- Allow the first layer to be fully absorbed before applying the next. Repeat this process for as many layers as you prefer—seven layers are ideal for maximum hydration, but you can adjust based on your skin's needs.
The key is to let your skin "drink" in the product rather than overwhelming it with too much at once.
