What's the fuss with Korean skincare?

Magazines and the internet abound with information about skincare innovations courtesy of Korea.  A big focus has been on the 10-step (or more!) routine that many women there follow on a daily basis.

When do I apply? How much do I apply? Do I have to wait?

With so many skincare treasures to use on our faces, I am often asked about the order in which to apply products, the amount to use and whether waiting between steps is necessary.  I thought it might be helpful to collate the information, so you have an easy reference point.

Hydrate your skin while you sleep

In the winter months, we often find out skin can become dehydrated easily thanks to chilly temperatures and dry air.  While a winter skincare routine is essential, sometimes we need an additional boost.  For this challenge, I like to apply a sleeping mask (or sleep pack as it’s called in Korean skincare).
