The 10 Steps of the K-Beauty Routine Explained in Detail
Step 1: Oil Cleansing for a Perfectly Clean Face
Oil cleansing removes makeup, pollution, and excess sebum without irritating the skin. It’s the essential first step to prepare your face for the following treatments and preserve its skin barrier.
💡 Discover our Hanara facial cleansers for a gentle and effective cleanse.
Step 2: Water-Based Cleansing for Purified Skin
A gentle water-based cleanser completes the oil cleanse by removing remaining residues. It prepares the skin to better absorb treatments and promotes optimal hydration.
💡 Explore our facial cleansers collection suitable for all skin types.
Step 3: Exfoliation (1-2 Times a Week) for Radiant Skin
Gentle exfoliation removes dead skin cells and refines skin texture. It stimulates cell turnover and enhances the effectiveness of serums and creams applied afterward.
💡 Try our gentle scrubs and exfoliants suitable for sensitive skin.
Step 4: Toner to Rebalance and Hydrate
A facial toner adjusts the skin’s pH and provides light hydration. It helps active ingredients from subsequent treatments, such as essences and serums, penetrate more effectively.
💡 Discover our range of hydrating Hanara toners.
Step 5: Essence for a Radiant Complexion
K-Beauty essences hydrate, regenerate, and brighten the skin. They stimulate cell renewal and prepare the face to receive targeted treatments.

Step 6: Serum or Ampoule to Target Specific Concerns
Concentrated facial serums target wrinkles, dark spots, dullness, or blemishes. They contain powerful actives to transform the skin deeply.

Step 7: Sheet Mask (2-3 Times a Week) to Boost Hydration
Sheet masks provide extra nourishment and hydration. They relax facial muscles, feed the skin, and enhance the effects of previous steps for a fresh, radiant complexion.
💡 Discover our K-Beauty sheet masks for a pampering session at home.
Step 8: Eye Care for a Delicate, Protected Area
Eye creams reduce dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines. They intensely hydrate the thin skin around the eyes and prevent signs of fatigue.
💡 Try our Hanara eye creams and treatments.
Step 9: Moisturizer to Seal in Treatments
Moisturizers lock in water, nourish, and protect the skin from external aggressions. They help maintain soft, smooth, and radiant skin all day long.
💡 Browse our selection of moisturizers.
Step 10: Morning Sun Protection to Prevent Aging
SPF sunscreen protects the skin from UV rays, prevents spots, and slows premature aging. Even on cloudy days, this is a vital step in any K-Beauty morning routine.
