Minimalist skincare- no more complicated routines!
Yes! A big trend in Korea right now is "skip-care" – it’s all about simplifying your skincare routine by skipping unnecessary steps and only using what your skin truly needs.
Minimalist skincare — it's all about less is more.
Instead of the traditional 10-step routine that K-beauty became famous for, people are now focusing on just 2 to 4 effective steps using multi-functional products. The idea is to avoid overloading the skin, reduce irritation, and save time (and money).
Key Features of the New Korean Minimalist Skincare Trend:
-Gentle Cleansing: A mild cleanser that doesn’t strip the skin.
-Essence or Serum: One powerful product that hydrates, calms, and treats.
-Moisturizer: Lightweight but nourishing, often with calming ingredients like cica or green tea.
-(Optional) Sunscreen: If it's daytime, sunscreen is non-negotiable.
Why It's Trending:
-Skin barrier health is a big focus now.
-People want routines that are quick, effective, and skin-friendly.
-Gen Z and millennials are favoring clean beauty, vegan formulas, and sustainable brands.
-The "glass skin" look is still in, but now it’s achieved with healthy, hydrated skin, not layering 10+ products.
