2

Water-Based Cleanser

Use a water-based cleanser to remove any remaining impurities and thoroughly cleanse your skin.

3

Exfoliation

Use an exfoliating cleanser or chemical exfoliant one to two times per week to remove dead skin cells and encourage cell turnover.

Essence

Essence is a lightweight, hydrating formula that helps improve the texture of the skin and increase its ability to retain hydration.

Serum or Ampoule

These highly concentrated products target specific skin issues, such as brightening, anti-aging, and hydration.

7

Sheet Mask

Use a sheet mask 1-2 times per week to deliver a potent dose of nutrients and hydration to your skin.

8

Eye Cream

Apply an eye cream with a light patting motion to address fine lines, black circles, and puffiness around the eye area.

Moisturizer

Apply a moisturizer to seal in moisture and maintain supple, plump skin.

10

Sunscreen

Protect your skin from UV radiation by applying broad-spectrum sunscreen at the end of your morning routine.
