This is your guide to building the essential routine that's right for you-learn the order of operations & how to adjust your routine around how your skin is feeling, day by day.

Just starting out? Start with cleanser, moisturizer & SPF!

#1: Double Cleanse

Shop Cleanser

Double cleansing ensures that the multiple layers of skin care, makeup, dirt, and oils are all thoroughly removed. Use one of our award winning cleansers to thoroughly remove a days worth of makeup, dirt, and oil by double cleansing.

Glow Tip:

Use the Korean beauty 1:1 method (massage an oil-based cleanser for 1 full minute, then a foaming cleanser for 1 full minute) to achieve hydrated, bouncy, clean skin.

#2: Toner

Shop Toners

Toner is the first leave-on treatment step meant to prep your skin and maximize benefits from the rest of your routine. Our toners are inspired by Korean skincare treatments like aqua facials, made to both treat and hydrate the skin. Balance your skin's pH levels using one of our multi-tasking toners that hydrate, balance, and treat your skin barrier.

Glow Tip:

When applying your toner, gently pat toner into skin (never rub) until absorbed to help with absorption and limit tugging on skin

#3: Eye Cream

Shop Eye Cream

The skin around our eyes is incredibly delicate and prone to dehydration, which means this area requires products that are specially formulated for our eyes.

Glow Tip:

Always use your ring finger to apply eye products — it’s the weakest and won’t pull or tug on the delicate eye area.

#4: Serum

Shop Serums

Serums are the true treatment step in your routine and our serums are made to be paired together. Whether you’re facing dryness one day or breakouts another, we have a serum that will target your unique and changing concerns—all while being gentle enough to layer together without compromising happy healthy skin. To learn more about our various serums and each of its benefits, check out our Serum Guide.

Glow Tip:

Layer multiple serums in order to suit your skin's everchanging needs. Make sure to layer from thinnest to thickest when pairing serums, ensuring each serum fully absorbs into your skin before apply the next.

#5: Moisturizer

Shop Moisturizers

Being an essential step of your routine, lock in all of the benefits from previous steps with a hydrating and soothing moisturizer. Depending on your skin concerns, your moisturizer needs may look different. Lightweight, oil-free moisturizers like Pink Juice Moisturizer play well with oily or breakout prone skin while a gel cream moisturizer like Plum Plump Hyaluronic Cream help balance and hydrate skin that’s combination or dry.

#6: SPF (AM)

Shop SPF

SPF stands for "Sun Protection Factor" and specifically refers to the amount of protection sunscreen provides against UV rays (both indoors and outdoors!). SPF is an essential step to your routine given it protects your skin from skin concerns like darks spots and aging.
