Get Unready The K-Beauty Way - Nighttime Skincare Routine

If a little bias is allowed, then we must confess that we love the nighttime skincare routine a tad bit more than the AM ones. They are much more relaxed, fun, and the feeling of going to bed looking like a glazed donut is one of the most treasured moments in skincare. And if you’re following a Korean unready nighttime skincare routine, then the aforementioned is bound to happen. Let’s see what goes into the making. 

Get unready in 6 easy steps

1. Double cleanse

We cannot even begin telling you the world of difference that double cleansing makes. But, we must. Massaging your face with an oil-based cleanser gets to the tiniest particle of dirt, pollution and makeup and makes skin super-soft. Using it daily will gradually add more sheen to your skin and make it glossy. After rinsing it off, the next step is to use a foam cleanser or water-based cleanser for a squeaky clean face. 

Quench Recommends: 

Double cleanse your face with our Mon Cherry Dirt Dissolving Cleansing Balm which contains a blend of moringa seed oil, salicylic acid, cherry blossom and grapefruit extracts that refine pores and lift traces of dirt, oil and makeup. 

Follow it up with Mesmerice Gentle Exfoliation Cream Face Wash that polishes skin to add glow, improve skin elasticity and revive dull skin. It has the goodness of rice powder, vitamin E, rice water and aloe gel that hydrate and soften skin.  

2. Essence

If there is one product that you should not trade for anything in the world, it is essence. These are game-changers. You can slap on an essence on your skin for upto 7 times for ultimate hydration (the Koreans do it that way). You will need to pat-pat a lot and your face might turn red, but it will all be worth it. Your skin will actually drink up all this goodness and leave you with glossy, dewy skin. 

Quench Recommends: 

Tackle large pores, acne, excess oil and reduce blackheads with the Mama Cica Intense Oil Control Essence. It’s a lightweight balancing essence that plumps skin and the blend of Korean botanical ingredients tackle acne and other skin worries. 

If your skin needs a kick of moisture and brightness, then place your bets on our Mon Cherry Intense Brightening Essence. It suits all skin types and works like a charm to reduce dark spots, blemishes and pigmentation.  

3. Sheet mask

Dunk your face in skin-loving, soothing ingredients for straight 20 minutes and the results will be addictive! Koreans do this once or twice every day without fail to get glossy and healthy skin. Depending on what your skin needs the most, you can pick a hydrating, purifying or a brightening sheet mask. Sheet masks are more of a restorative step that calm and relax your skin every night. 

Quench Recommends:

4. Ampoule

When you hit the Zzzz, your skin works extra hard to repair itself. Give it a helping hand by incorporating an ampoule in your PM routine. It is more potent than a serum and can take fast action against a plethora of skin issues. Use it just like how you would use a serum, by taking 2-3 drops on your fingertips and patting it gently into the skin. 

Quench Recommends: 

Target skin concerns like dark spots, acne, uneven skin tone, dryness and dullness with the Mama Cica Dark Spot Correcting Ampoule. It is much of a multi-tasker that is formulated with a high concentration of actives and natural ingredients that rapidly address skin concerns as well as moisturize the skin. 

5. Eye Cream

Don’t let dark circles and fine lines creep in. Reverse the existing ones and prevent new ones from forming with an under eye cream. They not only help reduce discolouration but also brighten and soothe the delicate under eye area. 

Quench Recommends: 

Minimize stubborn dark circles and under-eye puffiness with our award-winning Mama Cica Dark Circle Fading Under Eye Cream. With ingredients like cica, Korean ginseng, licorice root extracts, and hyaluronic acid, well-rested and refreshed eyes are guaranteed! 

Target under eye bags, puffiness, sagging skin and fine lines with the Yuzu Fine Revitalizing Under Eye Gel. It not only brightens skin, but also minimizes signs of ageing around eyes, visibly firms and smoothes skin texture. 

6. Sleeping Mask

It’s time to lock in all that goodness with a nourishing, skin repairing sleeping mask. Think of them like the big daddy of moisturizers that not only plump and hydrate skin but also target specific skin concerns. This will be your last step! 

Quench Recommends: 

Another layer of hydration never hurts anyone, right? Drench your skin in birch juice and hyaluronic acid with our Birch Please Intense Hydration Water Sleeping Mask.

Befriend our Mama Cica Oil Control Overnight Mask to reduce excess oil and prevent acne. Its clarifying formula unclogs pores, brightens and restores balance to combat blackheads, breakouts, and soothe damaged skin.
