🌬️ Introduction
Winter puts our skin to the test: cold, wind, heating, lack of humidity... everything contributes to dehydration .
Result: tightness, dry areas, redness, dull complexion.
But luckily, K-beauty is ahead of the curve when it comes to hydration and skin comfort.
Korean skincare is based on a simple philosophy: moisturize, protect and strengthen the skin barrier .
Discover how to adopt a special Korean winter routine , to keep your skin supple, radiant and comfortable even in freezing weather.
💧 Why does skin become dehydrated in winter?
When temperatures drop, the skin produces less natural sebum .
Cold, dry air outside, combined with indoor heating, creates a water imbalance .
Result :
-
the skin loses its protective hydrolipidic film,
-
water evaporates faster,
-
the skin barrier weakens.
This is why it is important to deeply hydrate and protect the skin for a long time every day.
🌿 The principles of the Korean winter routine
The K-beauty routine relies on layering light products to hydrate without smothering.
It consists of several targeted steps: gentle cleansing, progressive hydration and nourishing protection.
🧖 Korean winter moisturizing routine
1️⃣ Gentle double cleansing
Even in winter, double cleansing remains essential to remove impurities and makeup without damaging the skin.
💦 The perfect duo:
-
Gentle cleansing oil (such as Anua Pore Control Cleansing Oil )
-
Hydrating cleanser (such as SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Poremizing Deep Cleansing Foam )
2️⃣ Hydrating toner to rebalance
Toner is a key step in the Korean routine.
It immediately rehydrates the skin after cleansing and prepares it for subsequent care.

-
Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner - soothes and hydrates skin

💧 Apply your toner and serum to slightly damp skin to boost penetration.
🧴 Layer several thin layers rather than thick cream.
