Lichi Skincare’s ABCs of K-Beauty: Your easy guide to a skincare routine
Welcome to Lichi Skincare’s ABCs of K-Beauty, your place to learn how to create a simple, effective and fun skincare routine! Whether you’re a K-Beauty beginner or a skin care expert, we’ll make it easy and simple. Ready? Let’s go!
Skin Type vs. Skin Problem
What’s the difference?
Skin type = Your long-term skin condition
(Like the “personality” of your skin).
Skin problem = Your current problems
(These can change! Like a bad day).
Quick tip:
Your skin type remains fairly stable, but your problems can crop up when you least expect them, so be flexible with your routine! ✨
Identify your skin type
Is your skin more relaxed or a bit dramatic? Here’s a quick rundown:
Oily skin: Hello, excess oil! You may notice shiny T-zone or oily areas throughout the day. But don’t worry, it’s all about balance!
- Dry skin: Do you feel tightness or flaking? Dry skin needs extra moisture to stay hydrated and radiant.
- Combination skin: A bit of both! Oily in the T-zone, dry on the cheeks. Balance is the goal.
- Normal skin: You are somewhere in between: not too oily and not too dry.
- Sensitive skin: Your skin reacts easily! Redness, itching or irritation? Yes, sensitive skin needs extra care.
3. Addressing skin problems: What are your concerns?
Your skin may need help with some problems. Here’s a simple guide to common skin problems:
Concern | What it looks like |
Acne & Breakouts | Appearance of pimples, blackheads and whiteheads. |
Redness and irritation | The skin becomes inflamed, reddened or sensitive (hello, rosacea). |
Dryness and dehydration | Tight, flaky skin in need of hydration. |
Oily and shiny skin | Excess oil and enlarged pores, especially in the T-zone. |
Uneven shade and opacity | Lack of luminosity, dark spots or discoloration. |
Texture and pores | Bulging, rough or enlarged pores: yuck! |
Fine lines and wrinkles | Signs of aging, folds or reduced skin elasticity. |
Damage to the skin barrier | Stressed and irritated skin that just won’t cooperate. |
4. The perfect skin care layer: Easy!
Think of your skin care as if you were making a sandwich. You should apply the lightest layer to the thickest so that everything is absorbed perfectly. This is the order you should follow!
4.1. Cleanser
Start with clean skin! A good cleanser will remove dirt, oil and impurities.
Quick tip:
You don’t have to clean your face in the morning! If you’re lazy, just wash your face and apply sunscreen. It’s all about listening to your skin. 🌞
4.2. Toner
Not just for the face! A toner balances the skin and prepares it for the good stuff.
4.3. Essense
A light and moisturizing layer that deeply nourishes the skin, it’s like a little drink of water for your face!
4.4. Ampoule
Think of it as a super concentrated serum! The ampoules are packed with potent ingredients to treat specific skin problems.
4.5. Serum
This is where you get into the details: address your skin’s problems with targeted treatments such as brightening or anti-aging serums.
4.6. Moisturizer
Secure it all! Keep your skin hydrated and soft with a good moisturizer.
4.7. Sunscreen (AM)
Don’t skip it, even if it’s cloudy – SPF is a must to keep your skin protected!
Quick tip:
Apply several layers of products while your skin is still a little damp; this helps lock in moisture.
5. Skin Care 101: How to Create Your Daily Routine
Let’s look at things from a simple point of view! Your skin care routine should be simple and consistent. Here’s a basic one you can follow:
