K-beauty has always been the industry leader when it comes to rolling out products to achieve glowing and flawless skin, and now, SM Beauty has made it even more accessible for Filipinos to achieve the glow up of their dreams.
Across the 78 SM Beauty stores in the country, customers can shop some of the most-sought after K-Beauty brands such as Deoproce, CosRX, Beauty of Joseon, Round Lab, Genabelle, Some by Mi and more. Indeed, there is So Much K-beauty to be enjoyed and experienced with SM Beauty.
To achieve your very own skin goals, check out this nine-step K-beauty skin-care routine:
Step 1: Oil-based cleanser
The first step is to clear impurities, makeup and sunscreen on your face. An oil cleanser cuts through the dirt effectively but gently, just like the ROUND LAB 1025 Dokdo Cleansing Oil. Step 2: Water-based cleanser
A water-based cleanser is your second step for the double cleanse. It clears away the oil-cleanser and with it everything else to help restore your skin. Try the CosRX LowPH Cleanser for this step.
Step 3: Toner
A toner is an essential third step as it helps balance your skin’s PH levels, making sure your skin is at its natural, clear state. For this step, we recommend the Deoproce Snail Galac Revital Toner.
Step 4: Essence
An essence preps the skin to receive the next steps of your routine aside from nourishing and hydrating it. Try the SKINTIFIC Niacinamide Brightening Essence for an added brightening boost.
Step 5: Serum
Choose a serum that targets your skin’s major concerns and gently massage it into your skin, concentrating on your problem areas. For soft and bouncy skin, check out the STANDARD SEOUL Firming Bouncy Boost Serum.
Step 6: Ampoule
An ampoule is a great follow-up to your serum. Usually applied once or twice a week, an ampoule provides targeted treatments for a number of concerns including dark spots, red marks and textured skin. Hot in the market is Genabelle PDRN Vita Toning Ampoule, packed with ingredients to smooth out the skin.
Step 7: Sheet mask
Take a break and sit back with a sheet mask for extra hydration two to three times a week. Different variants harness various key ingredients that may surprise you. For this step, try the DEOPROCE Lap Therapy Placenta Soothing Masks.
STEP 8: Moisturizer
Lock in all the benefits of your previous skincare steps with a moisturizer that soothes the skin for that plump, glass-skin look. We recommend the SOME BY MI Yuja Niacin Brightening Moisture Gel Cream.
STEP 9: Sunscreen
Sunscreen may be the last step but it is the first line of defense against skin concerns and imperfections. Apply it in the morning every day, even on days wherein you will just be staying indoors. Sun protection is key to healthy skin. Check out the BEAUTY OF JOSEON Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics.
