How to Build a Skincare Routine for Beginners

Starting a skincare routine can feel overwhelming. With so many products, ingredients, and advice out there, it’s easy to get confused about where to begin. But here’s the truth: building a simple and effective skincare routine doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, with just a few essential steps, you can achieve healthy, glowing skin.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the five must-have steps for beginners, and show you how to use them to maximize results.

Step 1: Gentle Cleansing

Every good skincare routine starts with a cleanser. Cleansing removes dirt, oil, and makeup so your skin can breathe and better absorb other products. For beginners, a gentle, hydrating cleanser is the best option since it won’t strip the skin of natural moisture.

👉 If you’re using REYENE16 Soft Creamy Foam Cleanser, it’s formulated with soothing ingredients like Aloe and Caulerpa Lentillifera that help remove impurities while keeping your skin soft and balanced.

Step 2: Hydration & Toning

After cleansing, your skin needs hydration. A toner or hydrating mist balances your skin’s pH and preps it for the next steps. Beginners often skip this, but it’s a game-changer for overall skin health.

👉 Our NACIFIC Hyal Booster Hydrating Set Toner is enriched with [e.g., hyaluronic acid or rose water], giving your skin an instant boost of hydration while reducing dryness and redness.

Step 3: Targeted Treatments (Serums)

This is where you can personalize your routine based on your skin goals. Whether you want brighter skin, fewer breakouts, or anti-aging support, serums deliver powerful ingredients deep into your skin.

👉 For example, our BEAUTYBYEARTH Face Serums contains vitamin C for brightening, niacinamide for reducing pores, or peptides for anti-aging. It’s lightweight, fast-absorbing, and beginner-friendly, making it easy to add to your routine without irritation.

Step 4: Moisturizing

No matter your skin type—oily, dry, or combination—moisturizing is non-negotiable. It locks in hydration and protects your skin barrier.

👉 Our Saranghae Hydrating Moisturizer is designed for all skin types. With Sang Hwang Mushroom Extract, Hyaluronic Acid, Ginseng Root Extract, and Sunflower Seed Oil, it keeps your skin plump, soft, and nourished throughout the day without feeling greasy.

Step 5: Sunscreen (Daytime Routine)

The most important step for beginners—and experts alike—is sunscreen. Without daily SPF, your skin is exposed to harmful UV rays, leading to premature aging, dark spots, and even skin cancer.

👉 Our Waxhead Sunscreen offers broad-spectrum SPF 30 with a lightweight finish, perfect for daily use under makeup or on bare skin.

Bonus Tip: Keep It Simple

One mistake beginners make is trying too many products at once. Start with these five steps, give your skin time to adjust, and then slowly add new products if needed.
