Exfoliators

Many people assume that exfoliation is the first step of a dedicated Korean beauty routine when it sits almost more in the middle after cleansing. Post-cleanse, your skin is just waiting for something that can get in there, help get rid of dead cells, and allow toners to balance pH levels. Without a reliable exfoliator, your routine won’t have the impact you hope for.

What makes K-Beauty exfoliators special? 

Korean exfoliators help to clear out skin without being too harsh or irritating. We’ve all felt the roughness of a cheap exfoliator from the high street, and they can sometimes irritate the skin when we aren’t expecting it.

K-beauty exfoliators don’t do that, instead using natural ingredients which can help clean without affecting sensitivity. This is one of the reasons why we offer Korean exfoliators in different varieties like gels, creams, scrubs, masks, and peels.

What am I looking for from a K-beauty exfoliator?

People often make the mistake of using exfoliators too frequently or using them intensively like a full scrub. You want your exfoliator to remove dirt that cleansers help bring to the surface.

With any Korean exfoliator, you want to keep an eye out for products that provide hydration and moisturising properties, so skin isn’t fully dried out. If this is all new to you, a product like Klairs Gentle Black Sugar Facial Polish is a great place to start.

Can exfoliators help with deep pores?

Deep pores, especially on the nose, can be quite hard to deal with. We have a lot of customers, men in particular, ask us what exfoliators can help with pore density. COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid needs to be in your rotation if you have tried everything to deal with blackheads and they still won’t go away. It should be used 2-3 times a week to help pores look visibly smaller.
