So, you’ve seen the glowing, glass-skin results and want to start a Korean skincare routine. But where do you begin in Pakistan? Don’t worry, it’s easier than you think! This simple 5-step guide will help you build an effective routine with products you can find right here.
Step 1: Double Cleanse. This is the golden rule of K-Beauty. Start with an oil-based cleanser, like the popular Anua Heartleaf Cleansing Oil, to melt away sunscreen and makeup. Follow with a gentle water-based cleanser. This ensures a perfectly clean canvas.
Step 2: Tone. A Korean toner hydrates and balances your skin’s pH. Look for soothing options like the Axis-Y Daily Purifying Toner or the hydrating COSRX Full Fit Propolis Synergy Toner.
Step 3: Treat. This is where you target specific concerns. Use a serum or ampoule. For dark spots, try the Axis-Y Dark Spot Serum. For calming, the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule is a hero.
Step 4: Moisturize. Lock in all the goodness with a cream suited to your skin type. For oily skin, a light gel cream works best. For dry skin, a richer formula is key.
Step 5: Protect (AM only!). Sunscreen is non-negotiable. Find a lightweight, non-greasy formula to protect your skin from Pakistan’s sun.
Pro Tip: Start slowly! Introduce one new product at a time to see how your skin reacts. You can find all these authentic K-Beauty staples, from Anua to Axis-Y, right here at The Vault. Explore our Cleansers collection to start your journey.
