Their skincare starts with deep cleansing to remove dirt and makeup very well.

Then they wash the face again with a gentle water-based cleanser to clean sweat and dust.

They clean and moisturize their skin. Some of them rely on toners, essences for more hydration and the use of serums that keep their skin bouncy. It is the "7-skin method" used by some stars. Which means the skin makes 7 steps of toner and is really smooth and moist. Herbal serums and night masks is what actress Song Hye-kyo includes in her beauty routine for that radiant glow.

Korean celebrities love using sheet masks too. These thin masks are full of moisture and brightening ingredients. They put them on before events or photoshoots to make their skin glow.
