K-beauty routines
Korean skincare is a method: cleanse, treat what you need, moisturize, protect. The number of bottles is optional.
This hub is for routine-building, not shopping lists. Start with a beginner sequence if you are new, then the layering guide if you want the order of jobs.
The 10-step article explains why that list is a menu. Glass skin stays an aesthetic idea. The simple 3-step and layering guides are for shorter routines.
