Routine by skin type
Korean skincare routine for combination skin
The Korean routine for combination skin hydrates without heaviness and balances without drying, with gel or gel-cream textures dosed by area. Here, step by step, is the routine the Mimi Seoul skin diagnosis builds.
Recognising combination skin
A shinier T-zone, cheeks that feel comfortable or sometimes tight: your skin has different needs in different areas. The goal: hydrate without heaviness, balance without drying out.
What it needs
- Lightweight hydration
- Gentle, non-stripping cleansing
- Gel or gel-cream textures
