K-beauty (Korean skincare) skincare offers some of the best skincare products you’ll find on the market. With innovative formulas, unique ingredients, and affordable prices, K-beauty skincare has something for everyone. What makes K-beauty so different from Western skincare is that it houses products that focus on smoothing and soothing the skin while Western skincare focuses more on exfoliation.
If this is a new area of skincare for you, keep on reading to see some of the best K-beauty skincare I think you’ll find just as amazing as I did.
Because cleansing is the first step of a good skincare regimen I wanted to start with cleansers. I’ve included four gel cleansers and one cleansing balm on this list. Each of these gel cleansers glide beautifully over the skin and melt away makeup and sunscreen in a matter of minutes. If you want your skin to be completely clean try the double cleansing method. You just use a cleansing balm before you use your cleanser because it can melt away the most stubborn makeup and it works well with all skin types. When you rinse your face, all of these cleansers leave your skin feeling nourished, soft, and clean but never stripped or tight.
