Routines
Simple morning and evening routines, from three steps to ten.
You’ve probably heard of the “10-step Korean routine”. Most people don’t need ten steps. A good routine is the shortest one that handles your skin’s needs: usually cleanse, hydrate, moisturize, and in the morning, protect with sunscreen.
From there you can add steps with a purpose: an exfoliant a few times a week, a serum for a specific concern, an oil cleanser in the evening if you wear sunscreen or makeup. Order matters too. The general rule is thinnest to thickest.
Our routine guides walk through morning and evening routines for different skin types and budgets. If you’d like a starting point, our routine quiz builds one from products we track in Canada.
