By Rama Shabaneh, makeup artist in Amman
The short answer
A simple Korean skincare routine before your wedding has five steps: a gentle low-pH cleanser, a soothing toner, one hydrating serum or essence, a calming moisturiser and a light daily sunscreen. Keep it consistent and avoid new strong treatments close to the day.
1. A gentle cleanser
A low-pH gel cleanser such as COSRX Low pH Good Morning cleans without leaving skin tight.
2. A soothing toner
Anua Heartleaf 77% or Round Lab 1025 Dokdo toner add a first layer of hydration and help calm the skin.
3. One serum or essence
Pick one: COSRX Snail 96 Mucin essence for hydration, or Torriden DIVE-IN hyaluronic serum for a plump, dewy base. One well-chosen step beats five new ones.
4. Moisturiser and 5. sunscreen
Finish with a calming cream such as Dr.Althea 345 Relief Cream, and in the morning a light sunscreen such as Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun SPF50+.
