What does 7SKIN really mean?
Many of you might think that 7SKIN has something to do with seven layers of skin or something similar. But in fact, it’s much more interesting.
For those familiar with Korean beauty rituals, the meaning behind this name is well known. In Korea, 7SKIN is a classic skincare method designed to restore the skin’s natural moisture balance. The word “skin” here refers to a toner, which helps replenish hydration and prepare the skin for the next steps in your routine.
Our skin is exposed daily to external factors: wind, cold, heat, heating season, dry air. All of these lead to dehydration and tightness. It’s a mistake to think this problem occurs only in winter — skin loses moisture in summer as well.
The 7SKIN ritual is simple and effective: apply toner to cleansed skin in seven layers.
Why toner?
-
In Asian skincare, toners are the lightest products, often almost water-like in texture, and absorb very quickly.
-
Toners instantly replenish skin’s hydration after cleansing, balance moisture levels, and prepare the skin for the next steps.
How to do it?
Pour a little toner into your palms and gently pat it into cleansed skin. The first three layers are absorbed almost instantly. Starting from the fourth layer, absorption slows down, allowing deeper hydration.
In winter and spring, skin is usually more dehydrated and eagerly absorbs every drop of toner, while in summer the process may take a bit longer. Finish the ritual with a rich layer of cream to lock in moisture and prevent evaporation.
The benefits of 7SKIN go beyond hydration: it helps you relax, relieve tension, and even has a positive effect on fine lines and expression wrinkles.
