For dry skin, keeping your skin cleansed but not stripped is vital. A low pH cleanser will help you do that, and K-beauty has some great ones that are super affordable. (You really should be using an oil cleanser, too, before your foam cleanser, a concept called double cleansing, a basic tenet of K-beauty. To learn more, check out the Dry Skin 5-step routine below.)

A good moisturizer not only softens your skin and provides a protective barrier, it can help treat a number of skin issues with the right formulation. For dry skin, look for ceramides and hyaluronic acid to help boost the skin barrier.

No skincare routine is complete without a good sunscreen with at least an SPF of 30 (but preferably higher) that also protects from UVA and UVB rays. (In K-beauty, that means look for the PA+++ sign!) Thankfully, Korean sunscreens are some of the best in the world — they offer light textures and no white cast, so you’ll actually want to wear sunscreen!
