Here are some quick tips on maintain the well-being of your skin the Korean way.
- OIL CLEANSE: The first step in the daily skincare routine should be to remove all traces of prior makeup from your skin with an oil cleanser. Massaging the cleaner gently into your skin, and then dab some warm water on it, again massaging the wet skin and rinsing it off.
- WATER CLEANSER: Next, to remove the debris left behind after the oil cleanses, you need a water based cleanser, gently massage it in a circular motion and then rinse it off, leaving your skin fresh and clean.
- EXFOLIATION: Then, remove dead skin cells off the top layer of your skin by exfoliating your pores, which will make your skin smoother & more radiant. Follow up with a toner to refresh your skin and moisturise it, apply it with your fingertips or dab with cotton swabs in an outward motion, towards the ears and away from the nose.
- ESSENCE: Unique to the Korean skincare routine is the essence – a toner cum serum hybrid with watery consistency and skin healing properties, leaving it hydrated and rejuvenated. An essence restores the moisture balance to your skin, brightening it.
- SKIN REPAIR: The next step would be to repair any dark spots, uneven skin or pigmentation with the use of serums, ampoules or boosters, which target the problem areas and combat skin issues like wrinkles, acne, dull skin and large pores.
- SHEET MASKS: Follow it up by pampering your skin with sheet masks, another Korean specialty, that will nourish and pamper your skin’s requirements according to the skin type.
- UNDER EYE CARE: The skin under the eyes is usually delicate and as such requires extra attention, for which under eye gels or creams are ideal, as they work on dark circles and smoothen the skin, protecting and hydrating the under eye areas, leaving them brighter, younger and fresh.
- MOISTURISE: Moisturising the skin hydrates it by sealing the moisture in making the skin soft and supple. Using a moisturiser twice a day will help retain the softness of the skin.
- SUNSCREEN: The final step is to ensure you apply a sunscreen with a good SPF, which prevents premature aging and protects against skin cancer! ul>
Everyday Hacks for Korean Skincare Routine
Besides, the daily routine for skin care, some other tips you can take into consideration is to include plenty of fruits, vegetables and lentils, along with nuts in your diet; maintain a healthy sleeping pattern, like turning in latest by 10 every night, leaving you with ample time to rest and rejuvenate the skin. Work on a healthy balance between your mind and body by keeping a positive outlook towards life, staying active and exercising regularly. Avoid stress and incessant worrying by practicing meditation and choosing peace and happiness instead of indulging in negative emotions or thoughts. If you follow the skin care routine daily, it will work therapeutically and reflect better on your skin. All the steps in daily care aren’t essential. You can choose to use the treatment, exfoliation and sheet masks once or twice a week as opposed to daily.
