Bogotá, Quito, La Paz, CDMX: cómo adaptar tu rutina coreana a la altura

Living at altitude changes the skincare rules. Cities like Bogotá, Quito, La Paz, Cusco or Mexico City​combine two things skin notices:drier air and more UV radiation than at sea level, even when it feels cool. What communities in those cities usually recommend:

Hydration in layers, Korean style

• A hydrating toner or essence on still-damp skin.

• A barrier moisturiser (ceramides, squalane or similar).

• On very dry nights, a thin layer of balm on flaky patches.

Sun protection even when it's cold

• The chill is deceptive: sunscreen every day, cloudy days included.

• If you spend long hours outside or go higher, reapply​and protectlips and ears.

Worth avoiding

• Harsh cleansers that leave skin tight.

• Over-exfoliating when skin is already dry.

If flaking, redness or discomfort doesn't settle, see a dermatologist.
