Step 1: start with an oil cleanser

Most people have the habit of cleansing their face with normal water. However, the first wash only with water does not provide deep cleansing. It does not clear the oil, and debris deposited under the skin. So, it is best to start with an oil cleanser that effectively removes all the impurities.

Step 2: cleanse with a foaming face wash

Step 4: apply a skin essence:

Skin essence is a water-based skincare product. It is generally infused with fruit or herb extracts that are good for skin. Today, different skin essences are available for every skin type. Skin essences have active ingredients that hydrate skin cells and provide intense nourishment. It also resets your skin’s pPH level.

Step 5: use a serum:

Choose a serum based on your skin goals. Always check for the ingredients and understand the benefits it gives your skin. Chicnutrix Serum Range has the highest quality skin ingredients sourced from Korea.

Hydrate gives you a dewy, plump look.

Reverse gives you youthful radiance.

Step 6: Apply an eye cream:

The skin around the eye is very delicate, which is why tiredness and fatigue instantly shows in the form of dark circles and under eye bags. However, when you look at Korean skin, you’ll always see radiant under eye skin. It is because they never skip out massaging the area with a good under eye cream. It moisturizes the skin, uplifts it, and restores radiance.

Step 7: Hydrate your skin

Dry skin is prone to wrinkles, fine lines, and dullness. So, Koreans always focus on keeping their skin hydrated. Chicnutrix Hydrate has the best skin essentials. It absorbs three layers deep to provide intense hydration for smooth, supple and dewy skin.
