Exfoliation is a vital step in Korean skincare, focusing on removing dead skin cells to promote cell turnover and reveal a smoother, brighter complexion. This process enhances the absorption of subsequent skincare products and addresses concerns like dullness, rough texture, and clogged pores for various skin types.
