The Aurora 10-Step K-Beauty Routine
STEP 01 — OIL-BASED CLEANSER
Start with a clean slate.
Oil cleansers help dissolve makeup, sunscreen, excess sebum, and oil-based impurities without stripping the skin. Use as the first step of your evening routine, then follow with a water-based cleanser.
STEP 02 — WATER-BASED CLEANSER
Start with a fresh cleanse.
A water-based cleanser removes sweat, dirt, and water-based impurities left on the skin. Use it after your oil cleanser to complete your double cleanse and leave your skin ready for the next steps.
STEP 03 — EXFOLIATOR
Smooth away buildup.
Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and improve skin texture. Use a gentle exfoliant 1–2 times per week, depending on your skin’s needs and tolerance.
STEP 04 — TONER
Prep, balance & hydrate.
Toner helps replenish hydration after cleansing and prepares your skin for the products that follow. Choose one based on your skin’s needs—from soothing and hydrating to brightening or pore care.
STEP 05 — ESSENCE
Boost hydration & prep your skin.
Essences deliver lightweight hydration and help prepare your skin for the treatments that follow. Gently pat into the skin after toner until absorbed.
STEP 06 — SERUM / AMPOULE
Target your skin concerns.
Serums and ampoules deliver concentrated ingredients to target specific concerns such as dullness, dehydration, uneven tone, fine lines, or blemishes. Choose one based on what your skin needs most.
STEP 07 — SHEET MASK
Give your skin an intensive boost.
Sheet masks deliver a concentrated dose of hydration and targeted ingredients while giving your skin time to absorb them. Use one 1–3 times a week, or whenever your skin needs a little extra care.
STEP 08 — EYE CREAM
Give your eye area extra care.
Eye creams target the delicate skin around the eyes with focused hydration and care. Gently tap a small amount around the eye area using your ring finger, without rubbing or pulling the skin.
STEP 09 — MOISTURIZER.
Lock in hydration & strengthen your barrier
Moisturizers help seal in hydration and support your skin barrier after your treatment steps. Choose a texture that suits your skin type, from lightweight gels to richer creams.
STEP 10 — SUNSCREEN
Protect your glow every day
Sunscreen is the final step of your morning routine. Apply generously to help protect your skin from UV damage, premature signs of aging, and dark spots. Reapply throughout the day when needed.
