As we enter our 40s and beyond, our skin naturally undergoes changes, collagen production slows, elasticity weakens, and moisture retention decreases. The K-Beauty approach to mature skin focuses on nourishment, repair, and prevention, creating a radiant, healthy complexion without aggressive or damaging methods.
This step-by-step guide will help you design a Korean skincare routine that works with your skin, not against it.
The Principles of K-Beauty for Mature Skin
-
Protect the barrier: Avoid harsh cleansers and exfoliants.
-
Layer hydration: Use multiple lightweight products instead of one heavy cream.
-
Target concerns: Incorporate antioxidants, peptides, and brightening ingredients.
-
Sun protection: Daily SPF to prevent further damage.

1. Oil Cleanser
Removes sunscreen, makeup, and pollutants without tugging.
