Korean Skincare Routine for Day and Night – An Introduction
The Korean skincare routine has grown in popularity since having glass skin became a measure of skincare success. Many have adopted the routine, however, not all get the expected results due to different factors including using the wrong products for your skin, using the wrong routine, not following the routine strictly, etc.
This is why we recommend only using products that are suitable for varieties of skins – oil, dry, acne-prone, and combination skins. Definitely, you can’t use all the products in the K-beauty industry, which is why you should use the best Korean glass skin skincare products for your skincare routine.
The Step by Step Korean Skincare Routine for Day (Morning) by Dr. Dream
Wash Your Face with Water (and Cleanser)
This is the first step. Washing your face with water removes all overnight impurities that settled on your face and also refreshes and hydrates your face.
Washing with clean and pure water ensures your face’s natural oil is not totally removed.
Follow up with washing your face with a cleanser. This is highly favorable to persons with oily skin and is a step you shouldn’t miss.
Apply a Toner
Toners balance the skin’s PH and hydrate it further. It also helps facilitate the absorption of other skin products which you’ll use in the next steps on the Korean skincare routine steps.
You can either dab the tone on a cotton swab and apply it in a sweeping motion, or you pour the toner in your palms and pat it lightly all over your face.
Use a toner with natural ingredients just like the Advanced Facial Treatment Toner which contains the patented Dream Nanogen Wrinkle Grinding Complex and Multi growth Factor.
Use Essence or Serum
Essences and serums keep your skin youthful. It’s a crucial part of the Korean skincare routine because it hydrate and nourishes the skin.
Pump a little of the essence or serum of your choice on your palm and gently press it all over your face.
Using them is an important step in the routine because they’re a perfect solution for persons with dry skins, fine lines, dark spots, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, and other signs of aging.
They continue from where your toner stops and ensures your skin is hydrated, moisturized, and looking firmer and smoother all day long.
A recommended product?
Use the Advanced Facial Treatment Serum. Take two pumps on your palm and gently smooth over your face and neck both in the morning and in the night.
Note: Some persons use Ampoules. They’re similar to serums and essences, but contain a higher concentration of active ingredients. Understanding your skin type will help you know whether to go for an ampoule, essence or serum.
Don’t Ignore an Eye Cream
Many have missed out on enjoying the full benefits of the Korean skincare routine day and night because they don’t pay much attention to the eye area.
Aging signs, like crease lines around the eye, set in with time, using a good eye cream with anti-aging properties helps you get rid of these and keep your eyes moisturized and smooth.
Top it all with a Whitening Cream
If you wish to get the icing on the cake, use a good whitening cream like the Cold Plazma Whitening Cream which whitens and illuminates your skin. This restores balance, improves elasticity, and brings out your skin’s radiance to give you the crystal clear skin Korean celebrities are known for.
Or a Hydrating Moisturizer
If you’re not concerned about skin complexion, then you should also use a hydrating moisturizer to give your skin a smooth and soft feel. It keeps your skin hydrated, nourished, and radiant too.
We recommend you use a lightweight and easy-to-apply hydrating moisturizer that’s suitable for all skin types.
Protect your skin with a Sunscreen
Don’t let the sun spoil all your Korean skincare routine efforts. Use sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays which can damage skin, and cause wrinkles, black spots, and leathery skin.
The Urban Protective Sun Cream SPF 40 PA++ gently protects the skin against UV light and keeping is moisturize even during exercises and outdoor activities.
That summarizes all for the Korean Skincare Routine for Day by Dr. Dream. This routine keeps your skin hydrated and glowy throughout the day.
The night routine is similar to the morning routine but is aimed at naturally washing off all makeup and using restoration products so your skin can breathe and rejuvenate while you sleep.

Double Cleanse
Koreans believe so much in double-cleansing. The first cleansing is never enough to remove makeup, dirt accumulation, and the effects of pollution.
Firstly, use a good oil cleanser to remove makeup, sebum, and accumulated impurities without irritating the skin.
Then proceed with using a water-based gentle foaming cleanser to double cleanse your face. This helps you wash off the oil from the previous cleanser and ensure your skin is pure and moisturized. We highly recommend the Hydramemory Deep Cleansing Foam which removes all impurities and enhances collagen production.
Exfoliate
Exfoliation is an important step in the Korean skincare routine for the night and should be done at least 1-2 times a week. You should use a gentle exfoliant that’ll remove dead cells, clean your pores, reduce dark spots and keep your skin soft.
Apply a Toner
This step is similar to that of the morning skincare routine. Applying it at night helps your skin maintain its PH level.
Use Essence or Serum (Ampoule)
This is also the same as that applied in the morning as they always follow the toner. Using an essence or serum will help keep your skin hydrated through the night.
Use them just like you did in the morning routine. It’ll help your skin regenerate and recharge ready for the next day. It also helps your skin stay nourished through the night.
Use a Sheet Mask
If you’re an ardent lover of K-beauty products, then you should know how much they love and use sheet masks. The masks are saturated with serum and other nourishing active agents. Sheets are suitable for all skin types and provide deep hydration to your skin. They have varieties of other benefits including anti-aging, anti-acne, hydration, collagen-boosting effects, etc.
The Rose of Jericho Stem Cell Gold Mask moisturizes and illuminates your skin and is the perfect extra boost for your moisturizing routine if you have a special night upcoming.
Use an Eye Cream
After the sheet mask has done its work, then it’s time for you to apply the eye cream to take care of your eye area. Using eye creams helps hydrate and nourish the delicate skin around your eyes.
Moisturize Appropriately
The final step in the Korean Skincare Routine for Night by Dr. Dream is the application of moisturizer to seal all the ingredients and help your skin soak up everything while you sleep.
The right moisturizer for you will help keep your skin soft, supple, smooth, and youthful.
