Axis-Y for K-Beauty Beginners
If you're new to Korean skincare, you don't need a complicated ten-step routine.
A simple routine can start with:
Morning: cleanse if needed, moisturise if needed, then apply sunscreen.
Evening: cleanse, apply your chosen serum or treatment, then moisturise.
Once you've established the basics, you can add products according to your skin type, concerns and preferences.
If you're introducing a targeted serum such as the Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum, follow the manufacturer's recommended usage and pay attention to how your skin responds.
As with any new skincare product, patch testing can be useful, particularly if your skin is sensitive or reactive.
