How to Build a Korean Skincare Routine for Mature & Sensitive Skin

Why Korean Skincare Works for Mature and Sensitive Skin 

If you've ever admired the glowing, dewy skin of K-beauty lovers and wondered how they do it, the secret lies in layered, skin-respecting rituals. But if your skin is mature, sensitive, or easily irritated, jumping into a 10-step routine can feel overwhelming.

Don't worry – we'll walk you through a simplified yet powerful Korean-inspired skincare routine tailored specifically for mature and sensitive skin. Bonus: we'll show you how to use Liv La Fay's products to get real results.

Step-by-Step Korean-Inspired Skincare Routine 

Step 1: Gentle Cleansing 

Start your routine with a non-stripping cleanser to remove impurities without disturbing your skin's natural barrier. Look for formulas free from alcohol, sulfates, or harsh surfactants.

Step 2: Exfoliation with AHA Pads (2–3 times per week) 

Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and improve texture – but mature and sensitive skin needs gentle exfoliation, not harsh scrubs.

Try: 

Liv La Fay Zero Pore Pad – Korean-inspired toner pads infused with Lactic Acid, Panthenol, and Sodium Hyaluronate. These soft, textured pads exfoliate gently while hydrating and soothing the skin. Safe even for daily use, but we recommend 2–3 times a week for sensitive skin. 

Step 3: Toner & Essence 

Hydrating toners and essences prep your skin for better absorption of active ingredients. Korean skincare focuses heavily on hydration – and that's key for aging or reactive skin.

Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, centella asiatica, or ginseng.

Step 4: Treatment – Retinol + Collagen Cream 

This is where the anti-aging magic happens. Retinol helps with cell renewal, fine lines, and firmness, while collagen supports elasticity.

Try:

Liv La Fay Retinol Collagen Cream SPF30 – A Korean-inspired moisturiser enriched with retinol, collagen, hyaluronic acid, ceramides & niacinamide. It hydrates deeply, reduces wrinkles, and protects skin from sun damage with SPF30.
Perfect for day & night use – especially for women over 35 with sensitive skin.

 

Step 5: Lock it in 

At night, follow with a moisturising cream or sleeping pack to seal in hydration. In the morning, always finish with SPF, even if your main cream already contains it. 

Final Tips for Glowing Skin at Any Age 

  • Start slow: Introduce one new product at a time

  • Always patch test – especially with actives like AHA or retinol

  • Don't over-exfoliate – 2x/week is enough

  • Hydration is everything for mature & sensitive skin
