As we trade off-shoulders, coral lipsticks and ice americano for leather jackets, burgundy lip shades and pumpkin spice latte, your skin is also urging for some intense hydration with the winter on the horizon. To avoid the itchy, scratchy misery, we have condensed the 10-step Korean skincare routine to 5 simple skincare steps with K-beauty brand primera, so you can get your skin Winter ready (perpetual dry skin, we’re looking at you). From double cleansing to lip care, here’s how you transition your skincare routine from fall to winter the primera way.

Step 1 - Cleanse

Cleansing is the backbone of any skincare routine so make sure you do it the K-beauty way — we’re talking about the almighty double cleansing step. First, go in with the primera Seed Energy Cleansing Oil which is designed to remove and emulsify waterproof, oil-based formulas with 100% natural oil complex seed, including your sunscreen, makeup and daily impurities.

After the oil cleanser, follow up with a water-based cleanser — the primera Micellar 5.5 Cleansing Water . This cleansing water is a mild, moisturizing formula that cleanses while soothing sensitized skin for a refreshing result.

Step 2 – Tone

After cleansing, you should go for toning, which does not only restore the pH balance of your skin, but it also helps hydrate and calm sensitive skin. That’s why, for your winter skincare routine, the primera Wild Seed Firming Water is a must-have to keep your dry, sensitive skin happy. This Korean toner is engineered with a rich concentration of flat beans to refine the overall skin condition with replenishing hydration deep into your skin, which makes it the perfect addition to your winter skincare routine. Apply this Korean toner day and night after the cleansing step and gently pat it onto your skin for better absorption.

Hydration plays an integral part in the K-beauty skincare routine, which makes moisturizer a can’t-miss winter skincare product in this 5-step Korean skincare routine. This winter we’re eyeing the primera Alpine Berry Watery Cream, which is formulated with proprietary Alpine Berry Complex that provides lasting hydration and nourishment. It protects your skin from blistering winds and other environmental factors that could put further stress on your skin. Perfect for a heavily-layering winter skincare routine, this Korean hydrating cream is carefully formulated to offer the right amount of moisture without leaving behind a greasy feeling.

Korean skincare routines are always about layering skincare products that target your skin concerns. (Of course, we cannot miss talking about layering hydration for the winter.) That’s why, for this skincare step, we go by this all-star trio combo for the ultimate replenishment: essence, serum, and sheet mask.

The primera Miracle Seed Essence is one of our team’s favorites when it comes to bringing tired, dull skin back to life. This Korean essence is packed with amino acid-rich lotus seeds which helps deliver instant hydration and protect your skin.

Follow with a powerful skin-quencher like primera Super Black Seed Cold-Drop Serum to really amp up the hydration boost your dry skin so desperately needs. This Korean serum also features antioxidant extract which helps freeze your age during winter. So in case you feel like indulging yourself with a self-care ritual, add primera’s Organience Hydro Gel Mask to lock in the moisture.

Of course, we need to talk about lip care for chapped lips in the winter. The primera Natural Berry Lip Mask is a leave-on lip mask formulated with a natural mix of conditioning butters and extracts to soothe and repair your lips for a flake-free result. Throughout the day, you can apply the primera Natural Berry Lip Balm to keep your lips soft and smooth. This lip balm is also slightly tinted for a healthy shine.
