What is Skip Care?
스킵케어
Minimalist routine approach
Skip care is the counter-movement to Korea's famously elaborate multi-step routines. It advocates for streamlining your routine to only essential steps — typically cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen. The philosophy is that using fewer, better-formulated products can be more effective than layering many products. Multi-functional products (like moisturizers with SPF or serums with multiple actives) are key to skip care.
