Korean Skincare: Skincare that feels luxurious and won’t break the bank

Skincare is an essential part of everyone’s everyday routine. It has become necessary, something you need to set money aside for. The only problem is that it can be pretty expensive, $60 for a good moisturizer. No, thank you. Korean skincare feels like luxury on your skin but won’t break the bank.
Before getting started, one of the important things to know about buying K-beauty is the website. They have to be credible. Make sure you’re not buying fake Korean skincare! Common credible websites are, StyleVana, where you will find very fair prices. Still, because it’s a Korean website, the products will take around four weeks to be delivered (it’s worth it, though). One more locally sourced in the United States is Ohlolly. Here you will find that the products are more expensive than the other website, but you will get them within a reasonable time, around seven to eight days (still won’t break the bank).
Koreans are known for their “glass skin,” including about a six to ten-step skincare routine. That’s why it feels like a luxury. It’s all about hydration and protection from the sun! Well, now you can have that too!
Cleansers
Heimish All Clean Balm: This is part of a two-step cleansing process. The balm is the first part to remove any makeup or products on your face.
Heimish All Clean Green Foam Wash: The second part of the cleansing process. A water-based cleanser with low PH is great for all skin types.
Toner/Essence
Soon Jung PH 5.5 Relief Toner: Great toner for dark circles, dryness/hydration. Place the product in the palm of your hand and gently tap on your face and neck.

Sunscreen
The most important part of your skincare routine, there is no point in everything you apply to your face if you do not put on sunscreen in the morning to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun SPF 50: This sunscreen is trending on socials. It’s very hydrating but feels light on the skin. Protects your skin from sun damage. You can also get it in stick form, so it’s easy to reapply.
