Skincare is never one-size-fits-all. Your skin has unique needs, and understanding them is the key to building an effective routine. Whether you have oily, dry, combination, or sensitive skin, selecting the right products is essential for achieving a healthy, balanced complexion.
At Ferozia, we curate high-performance K-beauty products designed to work with every skin type. Here’s your guide to building a skincare routine tailored just for you!
Step 1: Identify Your Skin Type
Before choosing skincare products, you need to know your skin type. Here’s a simple way to determine it:
- Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat it dry.
- Wait 30 minutes without applying any skincare products.
-
Observe your skin:
- Oily Skin: Skin appears shiny, especially on the forehead, nose, and chin.
- Dry Skin: Feels tight, rough, or flaky.
- Combination Skin: Oily in the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) but dry on the cheeks.
- Sensitive Skin: Prone to redness, irritation, and reactions to new products.
Once you identify your skin type, you can build a routine using the right K-beauty essentials.
Step 2: The Essential Skincare Routine for Each Skin Type
For Oily Skin: Balance and Oil Control
If your skin overproduces sebum, your goal is to control excess oil while keeping hydration in check.
Recommended Routine:

Extra Tip: Exfoliate 2-3 times a week with COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patch to prevent breakouts and clear clogged pores.
For Dry Skin: Intense Hydration and Repair
Dry skin lacks moisture and needs products that provide deep hydration and nourishment.
Recommended Routine:

Combination skin requires a balance between hydrating the dry areas and controlling oil in the T-zone.

Sensitive skin reacts easily, so choosing soothing, non-irritating products is key.
Recommended Routine:
- Cleanser: Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil – A gentle oil cleanser that won’t disrupt the skin barrier.

Step 3: Testing and Adjusting Your Routine
Your skin’s needs can change with weather, stress, and lifestyle. Here’s how to adjust your routine effectively:
- Introduce one new product at a time and patch-test before full application.
- If your skin feels dry, add hydrating layers.
- If you experience breakouts, reduce heavy creams and focus on lightweight hydration.
