With summer long gone and winter approaching, fall in Korea (as well as California, where I reside) is the transition season for it is a time where the weather unexpectedly goes from hot to cold. The change in weather results in stress over dry skin, so I have noticed that people are investing money in skincare products and time to allow for a routine in comparison with summer where dry skin was not as prominent. On a general note, people are focusing on achieving well hydrated and pore-less looking skin. Although everyone’s day and night fall skincare routine might differ, fall Korean skincare recommends that one uses cleansing oil, facial polish, facial toner, serum and soothing cream.
FALL SKINCARE
A well known fact, cleansing oils should be the first and main step of any skincare routine because makeup, sun cream or pollutants tend to enter one’s pores. As the weather becomes colder, one’s skin becomes dry due to the winds, which forces one to put on makeup or sun cream in order to appear as having hydrated skin. By the end of the day, all of these end up entering into one’s pores and as a result, the solution to get prevent blackheads and acne, it is important that one uses cleansing oil.

Although not required, I have noticed the trend of people using facial polish, which tend to show the best result when used with its corresponding cleansing oil. Besides the dryness, another issue that fall season bring is the fact that makeup does not seem to evenly spread throughout the skin but rather refuses to stay on the skin. This is where a facial polish comes in because with constant and appropriate use, it will bring smooth, soft skin which is perfect for makeup application!
