The first thing to know is that every person’s skin is unique. Skin care (Korean or not) is very personal and all about finding out what works best for you. It’s a continuous process of discovery, and there really isn’t a foolproof way to get it right the first time. Your skin type can also change over time and can be influenced by genetics and external factors, so your skin care needs will also change over time. Determining your skin type is probably the most important step in any skincare routine because it helps set you up for success. Once you know what type you are, you can choose all the products to help your skin be the best it can be. Read our guide to identifying your skin type here.
