I Tried A 10-Step Korean Skincare Routine For A Month
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ก.ย. 2017
- I have always been curious about the 10-step korean skincare routine, so I tried it for an entire month to see how it was & if there were any noticeable benefits! I tried a oil cleanser, water-based cleanser, scrub, toner, essence, moisturizer, eye cream, night serum, and SPF every day and night for 31 days to see if they live up to the hype!
To clarify, I stopped using the sheet masks after the first week and I used the scrub 3-4 times a week! So I guess it was more like ~450 applications a month. I got my kit here: sokoglam.com/products/10-step...

HELLO FRIENDS!!! i just wanted to clarify, i know ur not supposed to put on a scrub every single day, i used the scrub like 3-4 times a week! i had a line in the video about it and i think we cut it for some reason. so i guess my math was wrong and it was more like ~450 applications!
thanks & sorry for the confusion!!
saf
Safiya Nygaard I love u so much
Literally three! Definitely want to try this!
Safiya Nygaard I love you
i dont have any lol
Safiya Nygaard i use my cleanser, toner, serum, and moisturizer:)
Saf doesn’t even have to come up with clickbait titles, her content is just so amazing that the titles are interesting enough
Eva ikr??!
Eva I just kept reading this as titties lmao
dana9aree7a i agree with you! she puts lots of work into her videos, she doesn’t just film the content but she researches it and gives us a great well rounded video. she’s better than any other youtuber honestly.
Hello, I'm DANI, a beauty youtuber in Korea, 🇰🇷❤️When you come to my channel there's a korean secret where your skin can become gloss skin.
Do you know Kimchi?
Do you know GangNam style?
Do you know GinGiRin?
Tip: Don't forget your neck,when doing your cleansing routine.
I always forget and then realise I have foundation on my neck still like 3 days later. Wash your necks kids
@@jaybehkay2438 bruh please shower
A They didn’t say they didn’t genius. Makeup doesn’t always come off with a regular shower. It stays on your skin so you need the products specifically designed to take it off.
Mizako 96 makeup that can last 3 showers must be really bad for your skin. I’m just hoping that was hyperbole.
@@astrea4020 bro makeup should not last two showers? yeah make up cleansers/wipes get make up off quicker but washing once with soap and water will still remove most foundations, especially repeated use. someone sounds a lil defensive here lmfao
it's a miracle that her skin don't have any reaction from trying all of the products at the same time. if it was me, my skin will be angry (aka a lot of acne).
yeah, but thats why u make skincare routine for yourself so u just would buy products that prevent/fight acne and your face would look after 10 times better and yet no reactions that cause acne so
Same here... My skin would have killed me by now , if I use all these products...
i thought so too, but it didn't
Not necessarily, if these products generally have good ingredients, your skin would absorb it well. I have moved to a longer skincare routine and my skin loves it.
@Death Omen Dermatologists say physical scrubs like walnuts are bad for your skin, as they cause micro tearing. Your skin on your face is a lot more sensitive than the skin on your arms or legs. Highly recommend Origins. I think the pricing is fair and is clean.
Unfortunately, a lot of Western guides on Korean skincare gush over the whole "ten step" part of it and fail to mention _when_ those steps should be used, then people make videos derived from those guides using the full ten steps every day.
When you choose to use a step will depend on your skin goals and also the time of day (of course). For example, many people don't use oil cleansers in the morning. Some people don't cleanse at all in the morning and only do a rinse, while some might opt for a gentler (e.g. maybe not foaming) water-based cleanser in the morning.
Then your specific serums might not be used daily. For someone with hyperpigmentation concerns using a highly-concentrated vitamin C serum, they might only use it a few times a week in order to avoid continuously exposing their skin to such high concentrations of vitamin C.
Similarly, sheet masks vary greatly but generally are recommended to be used two to three times a week. For one, it's incredibly expensive to use a high quality sheet mask every day, and you run the risk of clogging your pores or overexposing your skin to the ingredients in the essence. There are masks with less essence that are meant to be used daily, but generally these are hydrating masks for people with significant dryness concerns, so someone with normal or oily skin is just going to break out by using a hydrating mask every single day and trapping all of that into their skin with a moisturizer.
Then your exfoliator is used two to three times a week, just like the sheet masks. It is far too harsh on the skin to be exfoliating daily.
Realistically, the famed ten-step process shrinks down to about five to eight steps depending on your skin goals, product ingredients, and time of day. It is unfortunate that so many Western guides just say "do these ten things every single day and you too can have Korean glass skin," when doing all of those steps twice a day every day could be harmful to your skin, and many Koreans would advise against doing so as well.
Well said 👍
Best comment.
Chrysus that’s what I thought 💭
Chrysus you’re a straight up god
seriously, this is such a helpful informative comment. i am very conscious about my skin and already knew these things but it’s still important that people understand the process and what ingredients they’re using on their skin. you wrote that so well and i wanna give you a standing ovation
Even though it’s called a 10 step routine, you don’t need to and shouldn’t use them all everyday. Sheet masks can be used once every 1-2 weeks. Exfoliating should be done 1-2 times a week.
Amanda Yuka omg kero chan
That's what I was about to comment
her comment said that she understands that but the line was cut by accident
Okay. So what's the routine for oily sensitive acne filled skin?
@@ramshafatima7178 just use different products for moisturizing, never use oil based moisturizer, use water or gel based moisturizer
Is it just me or does anybody else also feel like her skin looked much better after that "Routine!"..?
Not just you, I felt it too.
it would have been better if she used a better toner suited for pimple prone skin, or better yet, all products suited for pimple prone skin because there are people with oily skin in korea. she should have used an organic apple seed sebum serum from whamisa or something similar
@@yoongs3878 what toner would you reccomend for me? I have acne and a high pimple prone skin
Keeping the mask in the routine might have helped. I think a weekly cleansing mask, something for blackheads, would have been good for unclogging her pores. Not every day, and definitely not twice a day. But she did look more vibrant & plump at the end.
@@ajasdeathdrop1556 is your skin oily or dry?
I think the last one was "serum"
Basically the steps are
1. Oil based cleanser
2. Water based cleanser
3. Exfoliator
4. Toner
5. Face mask
6. Essence (it's used so that your skin can absorb the products better)
7. Serum
8. Eye cream
9. Moisturizer
10. Lip balm
thank god someone who tries something for more than 3 days and actually commits to it...

Her skin does look different and her makeup looks better when applied.
Sooooo interesting video to me! As a Korean, I tried to do those steps often when I was young, but not anymore. New trend is to reduce the steps to keep your skin healthy with less sensitive products.
My current routine is:
1. Oil cleanser(with massage), use natural sponge when I wash it out
2. Water based cleanser
3. COSRX Original Clear Pad ; I highly recommend this one! Don't need toner step with it.
4. Snail Cream or Sheet Mask
I sometimes add or change steps depending on my skin condition, but these are enough to keep my skin healthy!
COSRX is sooo good, especially their low pH good morning cleanser is super nice, because it's not too harsh. I always use rose water after cleansing and those two combined work like a miracle
COSRX is like a miracle to me 😂 I finally fine the right skincare after some skincare that gave me nightmare or just wast my money and do nothing to my skin
where is the moisturizer ~ hyram ~
@@SodaPS102 I need a step by step and product listing please. I’m new to skincare, and I know this comment is a year old, but I need help!!
Honestly I’m just wondering how many videos you are shooting for at any one time. Props for the great organisational skills 👌🏼
I thought the exact same lol
she worked for buzzfeed before so maybe that helped
Loren E All i can say that its morr organized than my life. Fo sure
Loren E o
Loren E OMG, Saf should totally talk about how to stay organized!!!
FYI strawberries are a natural chemical exfoliant that's probably why it was tingling
Mandrake Fernflower oh that's what it's called. That's v nice to know. Thanks
Honestly, in that lightening, your skin is lighter, smoother and brighter

I'm spitting. like 3 weeks ago my mom bought like all of the products i can't believe she watched this and copied it
Lolx
Tell me how it goes
Lol
@@lifewithAysha yeah late reply sorry. i really enjoyed them...but i used them all at the same time at . once and my skin broke out really badly so i had to switch to something more gentle lol
@@katiemckenzie4972
Oh I see . I'm also trying to find a good skincare regime ,. Usually something gentle
I feel the need to put moisturizer on after this video
same brb

I feel like Cassandra rn . Any whovians ?? No? Ok.
Whitney I did actually 😂
Wow her skin looks so glowy,healthy,radiant,bright,flawless,dewy and clear
I am so glad she mentioned that the moisturizer was like fertilizer for the mustache... I experience the same issue, and I'm glad to know I'm not alone!! Thanks for being real, Saf!
My "skincare routine" is literally two steps: Washing my face and slapping on some lotion, oof
I wash my face with charcoal soap, soap specifically for acne, toner, sunscreen, and top it off with some aquaphor.
I have pretty nice skin for a teenager
😂😂😂😂 same and I just turned 29. I think I might need to bump up my skincare routine... or get botox. Idfk 😂😂😂😂😂
yo this is also me... but I have eczema and always had sensitive skin so the idea of getting too extra terrifies me... but I think I should definitely try
looks like it's time to make room under my sink
I use tea tree foam cleanser, tea tree anti- nonperfection pen and tea tree daily solution. That's my skin morning routine, I have barely to none pimples and acene except ofc my period pimples.
Am I the only one amazed at how Safiya schedules her videos like a pro, releases videos regularly AND the videos take like a month to film. TIME MANAGEMENT GOALS!
Nathan Melas buzzfeed was worth it
Eric LC They're goals! Not that I necessarily want to go into entertainment, but I wish I could have those time-management organizational skills! It's a great example of using education and experience to do something you love. I'd love to see a video about her video-making process!
As a Korean-American who knows a lot about Korean skin care, all 10 steps is not what you would do everyday. Some of the products you use everyday and others you use a couple or few times a week depending on what your skin needs.
Hey can u help me?which products should be used everyday and which not
Anyone else binge watching Safiya recently??
🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️
I find that Safiya and The Try Guys are really easy to binge watch. I say I'll just watch 1 video and before I know it I've watched the whole channel
Yep lol
i know that this is off topic, but i am hairy asf and seeing that another woman actually rocks having hair on their arms made me feel like i dont need to shave all the time.
honestly i dont even shave my armpits or arms or legs. only thing i shave is my mustache because it annoys me. but body hair isnt something to be ashamed of and i think people should be comfortable with their body hair cuz everyone has it.
You should just shave everything below the waist, and armpits. Everything else like hair on the arms, back, or stomach, just bleach those hairs
Nora Filmora People don’t HAVE to shave anywhere
@@grace1742 well shaving armpit and pubic hair is better for sanitary reasons, because when you sweat in those areas it gets "caught" in the hair, and it begins to smell because of the bacteria. You dont have to shave those areas, i have heard that some people that dont shave just trim it every once in a while but I'm not sure
Nora Filmora actually removing pubic hair can lead to issues like skin/hair follicle infections, higher risk of sexually transmitted infections, and even smellier and dirtier genitals (pubic hair serves as a ‘trap’ for dirt, odor, and debris, thus leading to a cleaner, better-smelling vagina). Also, you can’t ignore the fact that waxing hurts a lot and shaving is a hassle that can make things itchy and uncomfortable. Nobody HAS to remove any hair on their body and nobody should ever feel pressured to by anyone. If you want to remove it, that’s great, but it’s important that people know the risks of removing it and then make an informed personal decision based on the information that they have.
Here are the steps and their benefits:
1. Oil cleanser - to remove make up
2. Water/foam cleanser - to remove oil cleanser and to cleanse even more
3. Exfoliation (only once a week)- to remove dead skin
4. Toner - to bring the pH balance of you skin back to normal. Unlike to most of the toners sold in the Western the Korean toner doesn't contain alcohol or is used to cleanse your skin
5. Essence - It's the heart of the routine. It's most of the time the most expensive part as it contain a lot of amazing ingredients to repair the skin and to aid cell turnover.
6. Serum - to threat your individual problems. Use different after each other or at different skin areas.
7. Sheet masks - filled with serums to give your skin the extra kick
8. Eye cream - to prevent wrinkles around the eyes
9. Moisturizer - even more hydration
10 (morning). Sun protection - probably the most important part. Always wear sun protection at every time of the year. The Korean products smell very good and aren't as "oily".
10 (night). Sleeping mask - Like a thicker hydrating moisturizer which you leave on the skin over night.
My tip if you are confused about the order: start from most liquidity (toner) to the thickest (moisturizer/sleeping mask).
Manuelaorginal How do you know and where do I purchase this set?
French Vanilla I googled it and now I have years of experience.
It depends on where you live but most Korean online shops ship world wide and you get a lot of free gifts. Ebay is also good if you looking for one item. Overall I recommend yesstyle, w2beauty and roseroseshop. If you want to get a feeling for it just look for the bestsellers in each category. What is amazing about skin care products is that the good stuff isn't expensive. And it isn't a lie that Korean skin care is 10-25 years ahead of Europe and North America. The Korean women are very interested in the ingredients, therefore companies can't put bad or useless thing in there. For example they have a company called "Missha" mostly known for it's dupes for highend western skin care. And a lot of people, the company included, say that their dupe for the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair is better than the original because it has even better ingredients for less money.
French Vanilla btw the set she bought was from a website called sokoglam. Normally you don't buy the routine in a set, it's just for beginners. But if you look for the bestsellers on these shops I wrote you before you probably find your stuff cheaper and it gives you the opportunity to find out more about the brands. So, don't buy stets. Buy individual products from different brands they normally work perfectly together.
Girl, does Safiya wish you were there when she needed the help for the steps 😂
By the way, about the Korean toner. I'm using Korean toner and it smells kind of alcoholic? I still wonder if that's a bad thing 😕 I mean, maybe I just haven't known an alcoholic scent skincare that's good for the skin
As someone who's been doing a K beauty routine for a year I only do a few steps daily. Oil cleanser(if wearing makeup or especially sweaty), water cleanser, toner, moisturizer and spf. About once a week I'll do a BCA exfoliating serum, and if I'm feeling especially bad I'll do a serum and night cream. I've definitely noticed a difference over time. But each different skin type has different needs. :)
Also a good tip for skin and hair are when using oils for moisture: water based first, creams and then oil. Oil also acts as a barrier for protection so if you put something over top oils it won’t absorb and can build up :) friendly tip from a barber/ certified makeup artist 😘
Imagine one of these products not agreeing with your skin and trying to figure out which hahah
🤣🤣🤣
Oh boy lol 😂
Remembering when Isabella Barrett & Eden Wood played 'Guess Their Age'! th-cam.com/video/YZxt8hMsirI/w-d-xo.html
Welll true but u should add these to your routine one by one so u know which one is irritating the skin 😙
@@SurendraKumar-fc2ej and patch testing!
Your skin did look lighter, brighter, and more even as far as texture goes. It also looked dewey and as if there was a natural glow.
I recently started korean skincare and I only do about 5 steps but already in the first week of using the products I noticed a big difference with my face. I’ve been using the products I have now for a month and my face has never been better. I can definitely vouch that Korean skin care is really great especially for very sensitive skin like mine.
What are the products that you are using? Please share.
The 10 step changed my world and made me love pampering and I look 20 years younger :D This video made me smile. My hubby joined me in the journey so watching your BF do it really got me smiling.
Hi! I'm korean and I really want to say that in korea we don't use all those products at once!! I think korean girls generally have many skincare products for sure but it's becuz your skin condition is not same everyday. For example, if you have dry skin, you don't do double cleansing in winter (very dry season in korea) and use peeling gel once a week .. etc. If you have oily skin you don't put all those moisturizers etc.. I don't know why this 10 step skincare is so popular but im worried that korean skincare looks difficult and complicated. It's all about your skin condition not steps or product.
I personally have 1. Cleansing water (it's just to take off fine dust from ouside when you get home 2.
Oilbased cleasing 3. Foam cleansing 4. Mist 5. Toner 6. TonerII 7. Emulsion 8. Cream l 9. Cream ll 10. Face oil mix with cream ll + once a week scrub and sheet mask in winter and in summer just 1. Cleansing water 2. Foam cleansing 3. Toner 4. Emulsion
Jina KIM so you use only 4 products in summer? i need to screenshot this. and how many products girls with oily skin use?
Aydan Qasanova Keep in mind that there’s a HUGE difference in climate by season in Korea. Summers are hot and humid, almost tropical... I used to have oily skin, and during the summer sometimes I wouldn’t even need to apply a moisturizer, my skin would just soak it right up from the air.
Aydan Qasanova In contrast winter weather is quite literally Siberian... the Korean Peninsula is dominated by air masses from that part of the world, so our winter temperatures are extremely low and the weather very dry. In that case, I would probably do everything Saf did here, except at the last / semi-last stage, that eye cream is going over my ENTIRE effing face.
Corbeaux08 oh cool its always nice to know information from the direct source. so i’ll save my skincare regime for cold seasons. because my typical summer is like the one in korea:)
Jina KIM towards the end she said she figured it out and got it down to 8 steps but I still think she used too many products or even used them unnecessarily.
how can you say it doesn't completely look different.? your skin looks way more lively and radiant! the dullness is completely gone too! xx
tlxna and she looks younger too
Like 500
Exactly my thought!!
Exactly
Just what i was thinking
I'm Korean, and my skincare routine is like...anywhere from 4~6 products, twice a day. I don't have clear skin because of hormones and puberty, but it def does help once your skin gets used to it!
The way you put your video together and the sense of humor you and Tyler have really makes my day. We need more you-tubers (or just people in general) like you. I like watching you. Go girl! Are you still using Korean skincare?
Can we just acknowledge how organized and creative Safiya is with all of these videos. Think about guys, she plans these videos weeks in advance and she still ends up with the most creative amazing videos. ❤️
Gaby Galarza she clearly puts SO much time and effort into her videos. I LOVE when she uploads 😍
true! and the consistency
Agree. Her content is better than Buzzfeed lol
Saf, the Korean in me is dying watching you not use the products on your face AND NECK haha (but seriously always apply all facial products on the face and neck) also, the oil cleanser, eye cream, and night serum are only for night. SPF for the day. sheet masks and exfoliator- NOT everyday- max like 2 or maybe 3x a week.
soogiexwoogie thats what I was thinking
soo true
Very helpful!
soogiexwoogie yesss omg i was dying
You dont do all of the steps every day
Its says in the description of that
What about the ingredients in most Korean products? I have to use 99.9% natural products because I have dry and very sensitive skin. Do Korean products follow natural or do they have additives like other products? :-)
thanks for being real about the blemishes that popped up and for your always honest review. Love all your videos, you are great :)
OMG you are HILARIOUS! You’re clever, witty, funny and informative. First time watching your videos and honestly you are so fun to watch. Thanks for your one month demo SO HELPFUL❣️
For anybody thinking about starting an Asian Beauty routine, please don't start with ten products at once. Do research on good products for your skin type, ingredients, and what sort of products are good to begin with, like double cleansing, moisturizing, and sunscreen. Building your routine over a few months is the way to go, adding new products every few weeks. Putting so much on your skin at one time will lead to breakouts like we saw above and it can also cause reactions that you don't expect if you don't patch test. If you test over time, you will be able to pinpoint what exactly is working and what isn't. Also, certain products might to nothing for your skin at all, which I think is what we saw above. I have oily skin and so products specifically for dry skin do nothing for me and they would be a waste of money. Just get informed before jumping in and spending hundreds of dollars on products that you don't know can work for you.
Danica Brown the esthetician is a girl's best friend!
You are wise and a blessing, thank you!
I second CosRX. More than half my routine is their products. I love their honey ceramide full moisture cream and their good morning cleanser. For an oil/first cleanser I use banila co. clean it zero purity for sensitive skin. I also use some snail mucin products which you can check out but I know that's super weird sounding at first. It helps control the oil in my skin and keeps it moisturized. I can't recommend r/asianbeauty enough. That's where it all started for me.
Danica Brown Could you recommend product for oily skin?😅
Danica Brown Yess, this is so important!
Always do some research first before you try something like this, especially if you're going to spend this much money on it.
Koreans don't do 10 steps every morning and night, using sheet masks and exfoliants every single day is way too much for your skin. Most Koreans use very few, but good products.
You should always be as gentle as possible to your skin. Trying ten new products all at once is NOT gentle.
Safiya, I see the noticable difference on your face on day 31. Your face looks very bouncy and youthful and moisturized. You can see how flawless when you put on makeup. Bad skin shows patchy complexion no matter how good ur foundations are (I have dry skin). I notice if I took a diligent skincare regime, my fave would look bright and youthful but when Im being lazy (and lack of sleep), I got a dull face and my makeup makes it even drier. Its horrible.
Same with me!!!
I also noticed the increased moisture in Safiya's skin by the end! I agree that makeup applies smoother on hydrated skin. I have eczema/ psoriasis/ chronic hives (still getting diagnosed).
Literally me. My skin is dry, but also acne prone (yes, it’s a thing) so my face rejects everything, I swear.
@@some_metalhead I suggest Avene (Cleanance) products; they are intended to use on sensitive skin. The Cleanance line is developed for sensitive acne prone skin and helps alot. Especially their cleansing gel and exfoliating mask.
Lol that’s funny flawless skin after u put on make up
1. cleanser (if you don't wear makeup just use this)
2.toner
3.sheet mask (twice a week)
4.tap cold spoon around your face for 2min (especially ender the eyes)
5.eye cream
6.moisturizer
boom ! so much easier and it works
Face wash
Toner
Moisturizer
Eye cream
Lip Balm
Serums are good but like 1 or 2 😭 but idk how people wear them during the day I just look oily
This was an awesome video. I was just as confused when I started the routine but now I’ve pared it down to 6 products and my skin looks AMAZING.
Your face does look alot healthier in my opinion

supermegagirl2020 my balls have nothing to do with Islam dear. Let's not make this conversation XXX.
Anon Ymous I'm not a Nazi. What makes you think that?????????? Visit Yemen, come back and criticize it. Then I'll call YOU a Nazi and you'll be like...uh...no. I just think people should treat each other with decency.
Anon Ymous honestly the fact that you still support Islam or ARE Islamic and think hating Islam is Nazi just justifies what I'm out there doing. It really needs to be done.
Jack W that is the most ignorant thing I've heard in while. You should be embarrassed to have such an absurd perspective
safiya your skin before and after the routine looks like total goals...
Wow I can see the difference! Thank you for actually trying this for a month to see results and not like some other youtubers who do it for a week and complain they don't see a difference.
Speaking as a Korean, Im surprised that the rest of the world don't do this skincare routine. Btw, scrubbing is not recommended to use everyday, since it can disrupt your skin. I use it only twice a week.
Jenn Jenn all Koreans do this all the time and have been for years? Wow! I started 3 months ago. Love it!
Alicia Amiri that's the secret of their perfect skin I think 😂
I barely wash my face (with water lol) unless im taking off my eye makeup which I mostly dont tend to do and I still get compliments with how healthy my skin looks.
I'm pretty sure that half of these steps aren't necessarily daily (such as the scrub and the mask), but watching other people doing this is like huh.... right most of the world doesn't do this....
DeathNoteKiraluver Genes
The way she says hello friends, it gives me so much of sarcastic vibes😂😂😂
Mridushi Jain I'm guessing you're new
Not your typical beauty guru yeah😂
Super proud of you for diving in! I was intimidated for the longest time too but finally started a Korean Skincare routine at the ripe age of 25!
A good resource to check out is this channel called Beauty Within. They have fantastic product recommendations and visual graphics explaining what different products are even doing for you.
To remember the order of my skincare routine I use: “Can This Extra Stuff Make Do?”
C - Cleanser (double cleanse if wearing makeup)
T - Toner
E - Essence
S - Serum
M - Moisturizer
D - Day Stuff (Face SPF of at least 30)
It’s important to know what your skin type is first before buying any products, because certain products are great for one skin type and horrible/irritating for the next.
Would love to see a follow up video if you wind up determining what makes the cut for daily use from now on!!!
Love your vids!!
I actually had never heard of the Korean Skincare Routine until this video. I've had really sensitive, oily, and acne-prone skin since I was 10 years old. After 2+ years of the routine, I don't produce a fraction as much oil as I have my whole life, my acne is rarely an issue, and my flair-ups of sensitivity are few and far between. I am so grateful for this video, because it helped me with 20 years of struggling with my skin.
I feel like for me, the 7 step routine works best for me. I've suffered with chronic acne for years, and using a routine like this has helped tremendously. I feel like this particular set of products is more for dry skin, and I've set mine to fit my combo/acne skin. It's definitely a lot of work, but if you're like me, it really might help. Joan Kim does a lot of videos about Korean skincare, so if you're curious, check her out.
it's time to hajima, I will look her up! My skin is a mess.
Joan Kim is a good recommendation if you wanna learn more about the 10 steps. :D
Same!! I have always had terrible acne for years, but once I got into the routine of daily facial care (mine is personally 12 steps for night, 11 for day), the amount of acne dropped to pretty much nonexistant. Any acne that does flare up goes down immediately the following day. I think the main key here is using the right products for the type of care you want. In Saf's case I agree with you in that she used a set made for dry skin, and she needed to likely use one meant for acne or oily skin. But then again, not all these steps are for everyone!
Agree. My skin has improved a lot thanks to this routine. And I will definitely stick to this routine for the rest of my life lol.
can you tell us what products you use or what type you use for each of the seven steps? my skin sounds like urs and id love some help!
4:40 "like most masks i'll wear it 15-20 mins"
*says 30 mins on packet*
lol wow...
She did what was rig for her skin... why does that affect you?
drove me nuts
I love how Sad can literally do anything and its entertaining.
I'm watching this video after not seeing it for such a long time and it warms my heart to see Crusty again :') rest easy sweet baby
Am I the only one that got motivated to wash my face?😂
lmao I am leaving the computer to do that right now
I actually got up to wash my face because it was oily and I realized when watching Saf lol
Just got done applying my rose face cream 😂
No.. i went ahead to scrub, put a mask halfway this video and then came back to watch it finish
theKateand Brookshow I'm running to scrub now.
I need some face cream really bad right now. And eye cream. Yes,eye cream is what I need.
idk how she has the patience for all these videos
adsense money
$$$
she worked at buzzfeed what do you expect
it's her job?
Girl, you are fun to watch!! Very informative and helpful as well!!
I’m completely in love with the fact of her “not exaggerating” about products.
i started a 3-4 step korean skincare routine about 2 months ago and my texture has improved so much!
just a tip for someone who's willing to try korean skincare but is relatively new to it, you do NOT need 10 steps, or at least right away lol :) look at your skin and what it needs, and start from there. introduce one new product every week to see how your skin reacts (i struggle with mild acne so certain products can break me out), and if your skin loved it, keep using it :)
a lovely youtuber named liah yoo provides amazing information on korean skincare and just skincare in general, i recommend checking her out!
Sophia yes ! :D
I love liah, she's great!
The dedication though 🙌
When u get paid to do something then ...
Ghulam Rasool She didn't get payed, because if she was she would say it. You must not be a common visitor to her channel if you think Saf is like that. Cause shes not. Rant over.
Right?? a lot of videos try this routine for a week, which is nice but it's better to check out what the more long term results are!
Art Girl She may not get payed to use the specific products, but she does get money from views and the activity on her channel. So yes, she does get payed to do this. Rant over.
safiya deserves every single subscriber and more bruh. she’s so wholesome. never problematic. a queen.
Hey I love you and your videos so much! You’re always making me laugh and I appreciate you taking time out of your days to make these videos! thanks for all your hard work ❤️
My friends actually came over for a sleepover (they are korean) and they were like : "lets try something" next day my skin was freaking smooooooooth
A.M. LMAO
what did they use???
Guys you're misunderstanding smth. The important part of this routine is the step not the product. You can use anything you find at your place but it needs to fit your skin type and the routine. Many Koreans use products from different parts of the world and it is the steps that make the difference. You might break out at the beginning because of too much product so I recommend starting with a good cleanser for makeup and some toner and lotion. U can add on the steps to target whatever problems u have along the way. It definitely has advantages and you'll experience the difference more as you age. The skin is very important ppl lets cherish it so that it'll stay young and healthy!
Totally agree with you !!
How about the skin on the rest of your body?
Joo Min Lee
Any product or actual korean websites you can recommend?
Me: Oh this looks pretty good maybe I’ll get it
Also me: *Checks the price* $199
Also Also Me: Oh ma gawd!!!
YourpalMimi Mia for the amount of products it’s a fairly decent price. It’s good for beginners who don’t know to start at all. Some products can be $199 alone.
At first I thought the same but I have been buying different skincare products individually and it’s a lot more expensive. My mother and sister ordered once like 5 products in a Korean skincare web and it costed 120€.
Buy from the Ordinary its much more budget-friendly yet effective
After all, you can make it easier. There are names and types of all products. You can also order them separately on other sites. Or maybe replace something with another)
Get on YesStyle (look out for discount codes) and Wishtrend. Both of these offer the best in Korean skin care at very good prices.
You can also build your collection over a period of time. I would say, as a starter, cleansers, 1 essence and a sunscreen are an absolute must. The final moisturiser is not too important, any drugstore will do. xx
You’re only supposed to exfoliate with a scrub 1 a week, 2 max if you have dry skin. Masks are about the same
wow! Saf's channel is growing so fast I can remember back when you had 300k
Gabby same here! I got so confused when I saw 3 million subs
Do Korean people have dry skin in general, cuz I always notice that their skincare routines use a lot of moisturizer. A lot.
Gabby same
Trine Watkins it's cold in Korea. Even during summer, the sun rays are much more gentle than those in the USA
buzzfeed video
Wtf!! I’ve been obsessed with you since buzzfeed and I haven’t watched TH-cam in like a year or two cause I’ve been so busy and you have almost 10 million subscribers now !!! Omgggg congrats 🥳
Omggg boo ur skin looks amazing afterwards ❤️ can’t wait to try mine too
the most impressive thing to me was the math she did in her head
jadah a haha the Indian genes are showing
Ok! So it wasn’t just me who was impressed by that the most? I feel a lot better about myself 😂
Lol Saf also went to Stanford along w/ Tyler
Yvonne L you don’t need to be good at mental math to go to standford... there’s plenty of idiots in Ivy League colleges... all you need is a high GPA, high SAT scores, a good application, and $$.
when my korean friend and I lived together I was 25 at the time and she FREAKED out when she found out I didn't wash my face every night and have a routine. She had all this cream and serums and crap from Korea. I started back then taking better care of my skin and glad I did.
Lick Jimin's Sexy Korean Abs BTS ARMY - Not every Korean listens to only BTS, and that very low-key sounded racist.
Diabolic Angel not really.
Diabolic Angel As a Korean myself I was not very offended but it is true that not all Koreans like bts
It's not racist, but it is generalizing. You kind of sound like a koreaboo lol. Having Korean friends for the sake of them being korean is weird. I wouldn't want to be friends with someone who only liked me for my nationality.
I don’t think they’re being serious anyway tbh
again, i am gonna say this - the results are amazing, you look glowing!
I congurlate you for doing this Every Day. You literally have sooooo much courage.
Not even a lot of Koreans do the whole ten yards and have a 10 steps in their routine but Saf it is always best to double cleanse when wearing makeup. Cleanse with an oil makeup remover then use your regular face wash
Rania B ARMY
I agree, especially if you are wearing waterproof/long lasting makeup
Yes!!! I usually use my makeup wipes and then have my gel cleanser for a deeper clean as well as to get rid of the residue from the wipes. I find that my skin is actually a lot better than when I only use wipes. And then a moisturiser and go to bed bc wHO NEEDS ANY LIFE BALANCE OR TLC WHEN YOU HAVE APS HAHAHAHA :')
Tyler: *licks face mask*
Also Tyler: *hates it*
Once Again, Tyler: *licks it again*
Also Tyler: *still hates it*
I love you guys. I was so happy to learn you're from Chicago. Me too!
Omg me too
*tyler is a mood*
I think they visited Chicago since they did say they were going out of town
*shock pikachu
They are from Illinois I think they just visited Chicago
I love the 10 steps hubby and I used to do them forever. It is amazing for you!
Your skin looks amazing! It’s like a natural facelift
Hi im Korean and just want to say that not everyone in korea does this and if we do we usually just take facials that people give. Most of these ten step things are done by K Idols or celebrities.
Does BTS use some of these and no I'm not a koreaboo
BTS lover Perhaps?
From what I've read, the guys all have their own facial routines that aren't actually too complex. The basics that they all do is cleanser, toner, moisturizer, and occasionally face masks. I think Tae and Kookie also use creams for pimples. There's an ARA post about it, or you can Google it like I did :)
@@sophieavalos5644 bts use them. Guess new to Kpop right?
나는이 10 가지 단계를 모두 수행하지 않고 그 중 하나만 수행합니다.
no matter how many skin care u use, when it comes to period, hormone rules! :'
Yeah... the hormones rule 😢
So truueee
yes sad a lot of women fight so hard against something that is literally got nothing to do with the outside can treat them with as mush skin care as they want its a waste of money time effort #hormonesrule.. we all suffer by them hormones monthly well most of us and we gotta just ride it out I have horrible breakouts on my chin each time hate it but just gotta wait it out like the rest of the sisters out here dealing with them hormones :(
Sad but true.
I had my first period this month and I already am having breakouts
Love the humor and tone of this video ❤
Her skin tone at the end is much more even. 💕 Whichever product did that seems very worth it.
I love how much work and effort Saf always puts into her videos. She deserves more recognition and subs ❤️❤️
Jillian.17
She got 2 million subs very quick
OPPS,I am your 666 liker...
I really like the Korean Skincare routine. I have very dry skin and the Korean Skincare routine helped to hydrate my skin and make my huge pore less noticeable. However, you aren't suppose to exfoliate EVERYDAY!!! You are supposed to do it only once (maybe twice) a week. Also you don't have to do the sheet mask everyday either. After doing the full routine (sometimes with more steps added in) for a couple of months, now I only do all the steps on Saturday. The rest of the week I do about 5 each night, switching which steps I do. It seems to work for me, but I guess YMMV. Thanks for the video Safiya! 💖
Yes, I think Korean products focus more on dry skin.
I've been using korean skincare (8step for me) for over a year and my skin has never been this good, I have very dry but acne prone skin so it was always so difficult to find something that works
liannangel2004 do you have sensitive skin?
liannangel2004 also which products do you use
Although I have had eczema, I have not had any problems on my face from using any type of skin care and I have tried A LOT!
Watching you put all these on without patch testing ANYTHING. The recklessness. The freedom.
Same! The breakthrough steps for me is the oil cleansing balm and eye cream. Although i use different brands, these steps now being my staple ones. The oil cleansing balm just take the makeup remover thing to a whole new level, and the eye cream, i regret for not starting it early.
I can barely get enough motivation to do one step
Dominic Ciccarelli 😂😂😂😂😂 fuxing me!!
hahaha same
I'm dying lol
Misbah Ahmer omg WTF I WAS GONNA COMMENT JUST THAT 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
WTH you are legit in every comment section of video that I watch and I watch a lot of videos,maybe we will be friends 😊😊😊
Safiya, try Cosrx products. They're a Korean company that specialises on making skincare products for oily skin. They also have this really good spot treatment product.
edit: you can also check Liah Yoo and Joan Kim for reviews and recommendations for Cosrx products.
Yes!
g0rc thanks for the tip!
Also klairs!
Is this also good for men?
Ben Dover ofc.
Step 1: Oil-based Cleanser
Step 2: Water-based Cleanser
Step 3: Exfoliating scrub
Step 4: Toner
Step 5: Mask
Step 6: Essence
Step 7: Lotion
Step 8: Eye Cream
Step 9: Night Essence/Serum
Sun cream
I'm just thankful your skin didnt go crazy after incorporating all of those products at the same time
I have been doing the Korean skincare steps for years and it has improved my skin so much. I can never go back. My skin is so much healthier. I do the double cleanse, add a toner, spot treatments, essence, sometimes emulsion, 2 different moisturizers and then a cooling spray. I only exfoliate a few times a week and add a sleeping pack on a few times a week too. All this takes me less than 5 minutes. As a lazy person myself it seems like a lot but it really doesn't take long at all and is doable. Just pick products and as many steps as you need. Adjust to your skin needs. The most important thing is to layer the products correctly.
Upvote upvote upvote! Glad to see another Korean skincare enthusiast ☺️
yet i barely have enough patience to wash my face and take my makeup off
Laura J. i dont even put on make up
Washing your face is easy and simple.
Untill you get soap in your frEAKING EYE
L 013 and get water EVERYWHERE (if you do it in the sink)
I hate washing my face🙃
Laura J. Same 👏👏
Whenever I need motivation to clear my skin I always go back to this video
the best spot treatment I have EVER come across is using watered down Aztec healing clay mask on your blemishes over night. Literally saved my skin
Essence it's like a combination of serum and toner with moisturizing and nourishing affects hope this helped some people
im the army who stole jimins jams ARRRMMMYYY!!!!🙌
Yeah I find that a lot of people don't know what essence is so they don't actually use it :(
I work at the body shop and they taught us a really good way to explain essence .
Basically it is a primer for your moisturiser , it allows serums and creams to sink into deeper layers of the skin and not just the surface . A really good way to explain it is how with sponges , putting soap on them while it's dry doesn't allow the product to sink into the skin yet when you wet the sponge it allows soap to sink in, this is what essence helps achieve in the skin .
Black pink in ur areaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Yas kpopers in your area
Lol kpopers
nmuvg Blink ❤️
JUst a tip for someone who uses korean skincare for a few years now! Be careful with the difference between brightening and whitening products and make sure all the products absorb into the skin before putting on the next also every product and skin is different so make sure you find the ones that work best for you :)
Oh my goodness. "Fertilizer for my mustache". You two are so funny. First video I've ever watched and need to watch more. I truly enjoyed this! 😊
SHE'S SO PRETTY WITHOUT MAKEUPPPP HOWWWW
