Korean beauty routine for skin care. Korean skincare has been dominating beauty trends for years. Koreans are responsible for creating new skin trends. Glass skin, mochi skin, cloudless skin, BB cream—everything comes from this small country in West Asia. Koreans have always been a very health and beauty conscious nation. For this reason, the number of beauty companies in that country is also very high. Besides beauty products, their skin care routine is also very popular.
In the last five years, the demand for skin care products has increased more than makeup in the world. Of course, Korean beauty or K-beauty is responsible for this. Because, the motto of Koreans in beauty practice is 'Skin first, second makeup (Makeup)'. This is the secret of their healthy, beautiful, flawless, tight and glowing skin. Now the whole world is just as obsessed with Korean beauty products and their skin care routine as K-Pop. Korean 'ten step' skin care has become everyone's 'obsession' to get beautiful, flawless, healthy skin. Let's find out what these ten steps are—
Makeup remover and oil cleanser
The first step is makeup remover and oil cleanser. Here oil cleanser is used as a makeup remover. Sometimes you can remove the makeup with micellar water and then wash your face with a cleanser. This step cleans the face of 'makeup', trapped external dust, dirt, excess sebum, SPF. Natural oils like jojoba oil, macadamia oil, grapeseed oil, olive oil, coconut oil are mostly used as cleanser ingredients.
Water Based Cleanser
The second step is to wash the face with a water based cleanser. Water-based cleansers are used to remove impurities that oil cleansers cannot penetrate. It penetrates deep into the skin and cleanses the skin from within. The best ingredients are green tea, rice and pearl extract rich cleanser.
Exfoliator
Exfoliation removes dead skin cells and cleans pores. Regular exfoliation helps the skin absorb other skin care products. But this should not be done more than 1-2 days a week.
Toner
K-Beauty Toner is a skin care product rich in natural ingredients that balance the skin's pH level. Usually double cleansing and exfoliation results in dry skin. Using a toner restores moisture to the skin and increases blood circulation. It should be used according to skin type.
Our acquaintance with Essence
Essence is not long. Even though its name has been heard, many people do not know what it is or what it does. Essence is a very lightweight product that is a combination of toner and serum. Its main function is to moisturize the skin and make it glow from within. Most of the essences available in the market are plant based. Like toner, it should be chosen according to the skin type.
This step of treatment
is very important. As we take medicine when we are sick, in this step serum or ampoule is used to solve the skin problem. There are serums or ampoules available for everything from extra dryness, oiliness, acne, rashes, pigmentation, wrinkles. Serum is a very light liquid. And the ampoule is a little heavier than the serum and contains more active ingredients than the serum.
Sheet mask
Korean skin care cannot be thought of without sheet mask. Its popularity is skyrocketing in our country like other countries. One of the reasons is accessibility. Shit mask is also very easy to use. No need to wash it off after application. This mask made of various natural ingredients plays a special role in maintaining the health of the skin. Masks are available for all skin types. 15 to 20 minutes twice a week at night is sufficient. But there is no harm in using it daily.
Eye cream
is an essential extra care for eye skin. Because it is the most delicate part of our skin. Even those with oily skin have dry under-eyes. The first impression of age is under the eyes. To prevent wrinkles, dark spots, puffiness under the eyes, men and women should use a good quality eye cream containing Vitamin E from the age of 25.
Moisturizer
A good quality natural moisturizer should be used for skin nourishment and intensive care. There is no alternative. There are several types of Korean moisturizer. Like cream, gel, oil etc. Moisturizer should be used according to skin type and needs.
Sunscreen
is the last and most important step. To protect the skin from the harmful UV rays of the sun, one cannot go outside without applying SPF-containing sunscreen. Sunscreens containing titanium oxide and zinc oxide are good for the skin. Sunscreen should always be used during the day even if you don't go out.
This is the Korean skin care routine. By following these steps twice in the morning and at night, you will get the desired youthful healthy skin.
