Beautiful Skin Secrets. Cleaning, preparing, nourishing and protecting are the guidelines of the care routine with which Korean women achieve almost perfect skin.
Learn here the secrets of her effective and disciplined beauty ritual.
In addition to K-pop, fashion, and makeup, Korean women stand out for having flawless, bright, and radiant complexions.
In fact it is the best cared for and finest skin in the world. In short, it is every woman's dream.
But this fact should not surprise us, since their daily routine of care includes between eight and 10 steps that they perform in a disciplined and almost religious way in the morning and at night.
It is just a matter of being persistent and following each step to the letter.
1. Oil-based Cleaner
For the night care routine, Korean women resort to the so-called double cleaning.
This involves first using an oil-based cleanser to remove makeup, sunscreen, and other impurities.
So without much effort or mistreating the skin, they even remove the mascara against the water.
2. Water based Cleaner
It is the complement of the double cleaning with which the remains of oil and other impurities that cause breakouts are removed.
This also helps to eliminate sweat and dirt residues, leaving the skin supple and very clean.
The key, according to peachandlily.com, is to find a product whose formula is gentle and does not mistreat or dry out the skin.
Those that include green tea and rice or pearl extracts are very popular.
3. Exfoliates
This process is essential for the health of the skin, but it is not part of the daily routine.
Peachandlily.com suggests doing it two to three times a week with a non-irritating product, to promote cell turnover, unclog pores, allow better absorption of your beauty products, and keep skin looking young and smooth.
4. Tonic
Korean tonics are different because their job is to hydrate and balance the skin's pH level after cleansing, according to peachandlily.com.
On the other hand, sokoglam.com explains that these remove the remains of the cleansers and repair the skin so that they absorb the moisturizers effectively. Licorice and aloe are popular.
5. Essences
More fluid and less concentrated than serums, the essences function to hydrate the skin and make the most of the serums that are applied afterwards.
They may also contain anti-aging ingredients and others that help improve the appearance of the complexion.
Those with rice extract, hyaluronic acid and birch juice are widely used.
6. Serums and Ampoules
These products are skin perfecting, as they have specific active ingredients that solve problems such as acne, fine lines, loss of firmness, hyperpigmentation and dehydration.
Serums tend to have a higher concentration of active ingredients like ceramides, glycerin, natural ingredients (cucumber, aloe vera, etc.), and vitamins like C, K, and E.
The blisters promote collagen production and skin restoration.
Ingredients like soy, tea tree, and vitamin C are preferred by Koreans.
7. Sheet Masks
They are single-use products, which according to Peachandlily.com are formulated with the same active ingredients as serums, but are more of an “a la carte” version that can be used depending on the needs of the skin at a certain time.
The key to these is that the "leaf" in contact with the face allows the skin to absorb all the nutrients.
There are cucumber, green tea and roses, among many other varieties, they are also one of the best-selling in Korea.
8. Eye Cream
The skin around the eyes is the thinnest and most delicate on the face and, in the absence of sebaceous glands, it is an area without oil production.
For this reason, it is necessary to use a soft cream that helps when you have dark circles, swelling or crow's feet.
Honey and ginseng are appreciated in these creams.
9. Moisturizer
Moisturizer cannot be absent from the daily routine of Korean women, who also take advantage of its soothing properties.
There are moisturizers for all skin types, and another of its functions is to create a barrier that will keep all the beneficial ingredients of the products you just applied on the skin, instead of them evaporating.
Bamboo, hyaluronic acid, gotu kola and green tea are widely used.
10. Sunscreen
It is used by Korean women always in the morning routine, even if they will not be exposed to the sun.
This is the last step of the routine, and it helps prevent blemishes, the appearance of premature wrinkles and reduces the risk of skin cancer.
