3. Exfoliation

Exfoliation can be used once or twice a week to remove dead cells from the skin and keep it soft and bright. There are two types of exfoliation: physical scrubs and chemical exfoliants. Physical scrubs remove dead skin cells by rubbing the skin with small particles, while chemical exfoliants dissolve dead skin cells with ingredients such as AHA or BHA.

4. Toner

Toner balances the pH of the skin after washing and helps the next step of product to be absorbed well. By soaking a cotton pad in toner and using it as if wiping your face, you can remove any cleanser residue and dead skin cells remaining after washing your face. Additionally, toner keeps the skin moisturized and aids absorption of next-step products.

5. Essence

Essence is a key step in Korean skin care, providing moisture and nutrition to the skin. Essences are a product between a toner and a serum, helping to hydrate the skin and improve its elasticity. Take some in the palm of your hand and apply it to your face by lightly tapping. Essence builds the skin's basic stamina and helps the next step products be absorbed well.

This is an important step to take intensive care of your skin problems.
