Iodase Korean Skincare: The Beauty Ritual Combining the East and Made in Italy

Skincare coreana Iodase: il rituale beauty che unisce l'Oriente e il Made in Italy

In recent years, Korean skincare has taken the cosmetics world by storm, becoming a go-to for those seeking radiant, hydrated, and flawless skin. In Korea, skincare is considered a daily ritual, a moment of well-being that goes beyond the simple application of a cream .
Today, even Italian cosmetics draw inspiration from this approach, giving life to skincare inspired by Korea, but formulated with Made in Italy products : a perfect fusion of Eastern innovation and Italian quality.

What is Korean skincare?

Korean skincare is a multi-step routine designed to keep skin healthy, radiant, and youthful over time. More than a simple sequence of products, it's a philosophy that emphasizes consistency and prevention, favoring gentle yet effective treatments.
Each step has a specific purpose: cleansing, rebalancing, hydrating, and protecting the skin, so as to preserve its balance and natural radiance.

Korean inspiration has also led Italian brands to develop increasingly advanced formulations, based on natural active ingredients, lightweight textures, and cutting-edge cosmetic technologies, perfect for the needs of European skin.

What are the steps for proper Korean-inspired skincare?

By following Eastern philosophy and their characteristic steps but with Made in Italy products, you can create a Korean-inspired skincare that is effective, complete and respectful of the skin.

Here are the basic steps:

  1. Gentle cleansing and makeup removal - This is the first step in every Korean skincare routine. Use a facial cleanser that removes impurities, pollution, and makeup without stripping the skin.
  2. Balancing toner - Refreshes, tones and prepares the skin for subsequent treatments.
  3. Concentrated serum - Contains targeted active ingredients to deeply hydrate, even out the complexion and combat the signs of aging.
  4. Nourishing face mask - Seals in hydration and forms a protective barrier against external agents.
  5. Body Exfoliation - Exfoliation is the heart of skin renewal.
    It helps remove dead cells and stimulate skin regeneration, making it smoother and brighter.
  6. Body Hydration - Hydration is the key step in the entire routine. It helps keep skin soft, supple, and protected from water loss.
  7. Sunscreen - Last but not least: sunscreen.
    In Korean skincare, SPF is considered the first and most important anti-aging product. UV rays cause blemishes, wrinkles, and loss of firmness: this is why it's essential to apply a face cream with SPF 50 every morning, even in the city and during the winter.

Step 1 - Gentle cleansing and makeup removal: double cleansing

The first step in Korean skincare is double cleansing.

It is a two-step method that allows you to eliminate makeup, impurities and excess sebum without attacking the skin:

  • Oil cleansing : An oil or butter dissolves makeup and impurities by affinity.
  • Foaming cleanser : A foam cleanser removes residue and purifies the skin.

This step ensures a deep yet gentle cleansing, perfect for maintaining skin balance.
For this step, we recommend ByMe Cleansing Butter: with natural oils, it cleanses and removes makeup in a single step. It eliminates makeup, sebum, and impurities, leaving skin clean and soft.


Next, apply a cleansing facial mousse to remove impurities, oil, and makeup. It transforms into a soft pink mousse that gently cleanses without drying the skin.

Step 2 – Balancing Tonic

In Korean skincare, toner (or skin) is considered a fundamental step.
Not only does it complete facial cleansing, but it also rebalances the pH and prepares the skin for subsequent treatments.

Modern toners are rich in hydrating and soothing active ingredients, perfect for giving the skin an initial wave of hydration.

Facial Toner with Hibiscus Flower Extract - is a gentle yet effective toner designed to improve skin's evenness and provide daily protection. Its formula includes hibiscus flower extract, rich in antioxidants such as polyphenols and flavonoids, which soften skin and give it a smooth appearance.

You can apply it with your hands or with a cotton pad, tapping gently on your face to stimulate microcirculation.

Step 3 – Concentrated serum

Serum is the active concentrate of your routine: it contains targeted ingredients to hydrate, brighten, or combat the signs of aging. In the Korean skincare philosophy, it represents the most personalized step in the ritual. Thanks to its light texture, it penetrates quickly and enhances the effectiveness of the following cream.
You can choose it according to your needs at the time, alternating it between morning and evening .

The ByMe 3-Serum Kit is specially developed to meet all your skin needs , so you can choose the right product every day. The package includes 10 compressed face masks (we'll need them later).

Step 4 - Nourishing face mask

Face masks are the epitome of Korean skincare: a moment of relaxation and well-being to dedicate to yourself. The best are disposable viscose face masks.

The material is perfect for enhancing the effectiveness of the applied serum as it adapts perfectly to the face, evenly releasing the chosen cosmetic active ingredients for optimal results.

Step 5 – Body exfoliation

Exfoliation is the heart of skin renewal: it eliminates dead cells, stimulates regeneration, and prepares the skin to best receive subsequent treatments.
Just like in Korean skincare, where deep cleansing is essential to maintaining radiant skin, dedicating a moment to exfoliation is also essential in your body routine.


Iodase Smoothing and Emollient Scrub is the ideal product for this step: its formula, rich in nourishing and regenerating active ingredients, smoothes the skin without attacking it, leaving it soft, smooth and ready to better absorb creams or oils . Used regularly, it helps even out skin tone and restore a natural radiance.

Step 6 - Body hydration

After exfoliation, the skin needs to be nourished and rebalanced.
Hydration is the step that seals the entire routine, keeping the skin soft, elastic and protected from water loss.

For this step you can choose between two Iodase products, both formulated with emollient and hydrating active ingredients:

  • the Iodase Body Moisturizing Cream, with a light and quickly absorbed texture, perfect for daily use;


  • Iodase Moisturizing Body Butter, richer and more nourishing, ideal for dry skin or after sun exposure.

Both provide immediate comfort, improve skin softness and leave a long-lasting silky feel.

Step 7 – Sunscreen

Last but not least, comes the most precious step: sunscreen.
In the West, we often relegate it to the summer period, but in Korean skincare, the SPF filter is considered the first and most powerful anti-aging ally , because UV rays are among the main causes of blemishes, wrinkles and loss of firmness.

Iodase SPF 50 Spray Milk is perfect for protecting the skin from UVA and UVB rays all year round .

Its light, fast-absorbing, and water-resistant formula applies easily and leaves skin soft, hydrated, and protected.
Use it every morning - even in the city and in winter - to prevent photoaging damage and keep skin bright and even over time.

By following these steps consistently, you can achieve the same results as Korean skincare, but with all the safety and quality of Italian cosmetics.
Skincare inspired by Korea but with Made in Italy products is the perfect synthesis of two worlds: the Eastern attention to rituals and the all-Italian quality of the formulations .

A new way to care for your skin, with the delicacy of Korean tradition and the safety of tested, natural, and innovative ingredients.
