Korean skincare routine for dry skin
The Korean routine for dry skin nourishes at every step: soap-free cleansing, a rich toner, a ceramide cream. Here, step by step, is the routine the Mimi Seoul skin diagnosis builds.
Recognising dry skin
It feels tight, can look dull or rough, and lacks the lipids it needs to hold on to water. It needs gentleness and nourishment at every step.
What it needs
- Nourishment and comfort
- Soap-free cleansing
- Cream or balm textures
Morning and evening

- Rinse with lukewarm water, never hot: hot water dries the skin out.
