Don’t worry! There are ten categories that products fall into which corresponds to 10 steps. You don’t have to use every single step and if you do you probably shouldn’t do all ten steps every day, but that depends on the kind of skin you’re working with. Plus you get some products that are 2-3 steps in one for those who don’t have time to sit and wait for products to be fully absorbed before applying the next layer.

Great! So you’ve probably got some existing products and we don’t want to waste resources. I would recommend getting one or two products that you don’t currently have, or products from categories that you’ve finished up. This is to make sure you’re slowly introducing products to your skin because it may be overwhelming for your skin if you slather on too many different new products. 

You can also start by double cleansing and using sun protection – I would say these are the two most important principles in J and K Beauty. 

Both focus on effective skincare – to thoroughly cleanse and layer on high quality ingredients. Either would be a good choice for those who want to start understanding their skin needs and treating concerns. 

There are some differences though, K beauty generally is fast changing, it is driven by competition and innovation. While J Beauty is based on traditions, ingredients that have been proven to work for centuries and keeping it simple. We will be doing a more in depth blog post on the differences between the two so keep an eye out for it!

Yes, as long as the ingredients are compatible, you can have your different steps coming from as many different countries as you want. The point is to understand your skin, what the problems are, the ingredients that target those concerns and figure out which products contain those ingredients.
