Korean beauty trends have taken over the skincare world by storm and to achieve a glass skin-like glow, here are a few steps you must add to your daily routine.
Korean skincare has gained immense popularity worldwide for its innovative approach and emphasis on achieving healthy, glowing skin. Rooted in a philosophy of prevention rather than just treatment, Korean skincare focuses on maintaining skin health through a meticulous and multi-step routine.
Double Cleansing: Start by using an oil-based cleanser to remove makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum. Follow this with a water-based cleanser to remove any remaining impurities and prepare the skin for the next steps.
Exfoliation: Exfoliate the skin 1-2 times a week to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. This can be done using a physical scrub or chemical exfoliants like AHAs or BHAs.
Serum/Ampoule: Serums and ampoules contain high concentrations of active ingredients targeted at specific skin concerns, such as brightening, anti-aging, or hydration. Apply a small amount and gently pat into the skin.
Sheet Mask: Sheet masks are soaked in concentrated serums and essences, delivering intensive hydration and nourishment to the skin. Leave the mask on for 10-20 minutes before removing and gently patting in any remaining essence.
Moisturizer: Lock in moisture with a moisturizer suited to your skin type. This helps to hydrate and protect the skin barrier.
Sunscreen: Finish off your skincare routine with a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from harmful UV rays and prevent premature ageing.
