The Ultimate K-Beauty Box Is a Multistep Skin-Care Routine Made Simple

Must read

To put it simply, Korean beauty has changed the standards of skin care around the globe: Double-cleansing, essences, cushion compacts, lip tints, and the newer multi balms all originated in Korea, where the latest additions to multistep skin-care routines continue to inspire innovation worldwide. It’s not uncommon for brands to churn out different iterations of their products based on the latest scientific advancements and consumer feedback — well before a calendar year has passed. For Allure‘s limited-edition The Ultimate K-Beauty Box, we’ve curated 10 of the trendiest products (8 of which are full-size!) from K-beauty brands like Anua, Isntree, Medicube, and more just for you. The order in which you’d use the products is: cleansing balm/oil, water-based cleanser, exfoliator, toner, essence, eye cream, and then moisturizer. Top it all off with your favorite sunscreen and use the mask and peel pads a few times a week or month to balance out your skin. Paying attention to what your skin needs is the most important part of a K-beauty routine.

The entire box is valued at $225, but costs only $79 for Allure Beauty Box members and $129 for non-members. For those who haven’t joined yet, you can become a member today for up to $25 off with code HEART to get access to this limited-edition box and so much more. Snag yours today and revel in your soon-to-be-glowing skin.
