YOUR SKIN RITUAL
Nourish + Restore
Your skin is showing signs that it needs more nourishment and support. Dry skin naturally produces less oil, which can leave it feeling tight, rough or flaky and make it more difficult for the skin to retain moisture. Your ritual focuses on supporting the skin barrier with nourishing, replenishing formulas to leave skin feeling softer, more comfortable and resilient.
Your IKOU Skin Tips
- Choose nourishing products that help your skin feel soft and comfortable, including richer creams and facial oils that help replenish dryness.
- Gently remove your cleanser with a warm, damp face cloth. Take your time and avoid over-cleansing — your skin should feel soft, calm and comfortable afterwards, never tight or dry.
- Exfoliate gently and not too often. Once a week may be enough, especially when your skin is feeling dry or tight.

Hydrate + Replenish
Your skin is showing signs that it needs more water. Unlike dry skin, dehydration isn't a skin type — it can affect any skin, including skin that also experiences oiliness. Your ritual focuses on replenishing hydration, helping the skin retain moisture and supporting a plumper, fresher and more luminous appearance.
Your IKOU Skin Tips
- Look for hydration-focused products, including hyaluronic acid. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid can help your skin feel more hydrated, plump and comfortable.
- Choose a gentle, hydrating cleanser and cleanse morning and evening. After cleansing, your skin should feel soft and comfortable — if it regularly feels tight or dry, your cleanser may be too harsh for your skin.
- If your skin is feeling tight, dry or sensitive, take a break from exfoliating and focus on gentle, hydrating products until it feels comfortable again.

Clarify + Balance
Your skin naturally produces more sebum, which can lead to persistent shine, visible pores or congestion. The goal isn't to remove every trace of oil — healthy skin still needs its natural lipid barrier. Your ritual focuses on cleansing and refining while maintaining hydration and supporting a healthy balance.
Your IKOU Skin Tips
- Use a gentle cleansing gel to remove excess oil and impurities. Your skin should feel fresh and clean afterwards, rather than tight or dry.
- Be gentle with exfoliation. Exfoliating too frequently can disrupt your skin's natural barrier and leave it feeling dry, sensitive or irritated. Over-exfoliation can also contribute to an imbalance in oil production.
- Don't be afraid of facial oils. The right facial oil can help nourish your skin without leaving it feeling heavy or greasy.

YOUR SKIN RITUAL
Balance + Harmonise
Your skin shows characteristics of both oily and dry skin, typically with more oil through the forehead, nose and chin and greater dryness or tightness elsewhere. Your ritual focuses on balance — supporting hydration and barrier health while refining areas prone to excess oil and congestion.
Your IKOU Skin Tips
- Different areas of your face may need different things. Focus on balancing oilier areas while keeping drier areas comfortable and hydrated.
- Focus your cleanser on what your skin needs most. If you're oily through the T-zone but drier elsewhere, cleanse gently and pay a little more attention to the areas where oil tends to build up.
- Be gentle with oilier areas like your forehead, nose and chin. Cleansing or exfoliating too often can leave your skin feeling dry or uncomfortable.

Calm + Strengthen
Your skin is showing signs of heightened reactivity and may have a compromised skin barrier. This can present as redness, tightness, irritation or increased sensitivity to products and environmental changes. Your ritual focuses on nurturing the skin, minimising unnecessary irritation and supporting a stronger, healthier-feeling barrier.
Your IKOU Skin Tips
- Choose a gentle cleanser that leaves your skin feeling calm, soft and comfortable. If your skin feels tight or irritated afterwards, it may be too harsh for you.
- If your skin is feeling red, sensitive or irritated, take a break from exfoliating and focus on gentle, nourishing products until your skin feels comfortable again.
- Keep your routine gentle and nourishing. Moisturisers, facial oils and calming products can help your skin feel more comfortable and cared for.

YOUR SKIN RITUAL
Maintain + Protect
Your skin is naturally well balanced, with relatively even tone and texture and few ongoing concerns. Your focus is less about correcting imbalance and more about maintaining the healthy function you already have. Your ritual combines barrier support, hydration, antioxidants and targeted actives to help protect the skin and support it as its needs evolve.
Your IKOU Skin Tips
- Use a gentle cleanser that leaves your skin feeling fresh, soft and comfortable to help maintain your skin's natural balance.
- Apply your serum after cleansing and before your moisturiser. Choose a serum that supports what you'd most like to improve, such as hydration, brightness or firmness.
- Exfoliate regularly but gently to remove dull surface skin and help keep your complexion feeling smooth and fresh.

Renew + Firm
Your skin is showing visible changes associated with reduced collagen and elastin and slower renewal, such as fine lines, wrinkles, changes in firmness, volume or pigmentation. Your ritual focuses on targeted serums, hydration and renewal to support firmer, smoother and more resilient-looking skin.
Your IKOU Skin Tips
- Choose a serum that supports the changes you'd most like to address, such as visible lines, firmness, hydration or brightness.
- After cleansing, apply your serum before your moisturiser. Serums are designed to deliver targeted ingredients, while your moisturiser helps hydrate and nourish your skin.
- Add a facial massage to your routine when applying a facial oil or booster. You can use your fingertips or a gua sha tool to turn this step into a relaxing ritual.
