Why K-beauty became a cult favourite?

Korean skincare tends to be more budget-friendly. It is hard to find products that are effective in lower price ranges, but they are certainly available in luxury brands.
While for innovative forms Korean beauty has given the beauty industry unique products and ingredients from BB cream (beauty balm cream), snail slime known for its healing, hydrating and soothing properties, is hugely popular, double cleanse. And this is not just a hype, anyone who switches to Korean beauty can testify to the efficacy of the routine.
Those who know anything about the infamous multi-step Korean skin-care routine are aware that the double cleanse is pretty much the base and everything else follows. It may sound crazy at first but it doesn’t take a lot of time. The idea is to get rid of dirt with an oil or balm cleanser first, followed by a water-based wash to ensure all the leftover residue and impurities are removed.
Let’s not forget sheet masks, another Korean skincare innovation, masks packed with nourishing serums. They are easy to apply and carry around, come in a wide range targeting any skin issue you can think of!
The routine
The 10-step routine goes a bit like this:
(1) an oil cleanser,
(2) a foaming cleanser,
(3) an exfoliant,
(4) a toner,
(5) an essence,
(6) an ampoule or serum,
(7) a sheet mask,
(8) an eye cream,
(9) a moisturiser, and lastly
(10) either a sunscreen or a night cream.
However, the foundation of skincare routine would still be cleansing your skin properly, getting rid of all the dirt without making it squeaky clean and keep it hydrated and moisturised. There is no need to follow all the steps, it’s just a way of saying how to go about your routine.
