Best Korean Skincare Tips for the Glass Skin
Two-step cleansing
According to the Korean skincare regime, it is important to thoroughly remove dirt, makeup, and bacteria. They wash the skin and remove makeup first with an oil-based cleanser followed by foam based one.
If you have dry skin you can use VLCC cleansing milk, new L’Oreal cleansing milk, or any cleansing milk you like. That’s your first step. You can also use the Garnier micellar water if you have oily skin.
The second step is to use any gentle foaming skin cleanser to wash the cleansing milk and remaining debris from the skin.
Exfoliation
Exfoliation is the removal of dead skin and debris. Exfoliating agents are of two types physical and chemical. Physical once like walnut scrub were used for a long time but recent reports have suggested that they cause micro-tears to skin.
Chemical exfoliants cause the skin to peel away without tearing. Salicylic acid and lactic acid are mild skin exfoliants that can be used twice a week. AHA and BHA are strong and should not be used more than once a week.
Sheet Masks
Sheet masks are the salon at hand. They are filled with all the goodness of serum and are extremely hydrating. Sheet masks are of various types and for various ailments. Pick anyone you want.
Hydrating Toner
Toners are a great way to lock the nutrition into our skin and to ensure that makeup sets up. Toners are known to be drying but not all. The trick is to choose a very hydrating serum like the one that has vitamin C or hyaluronic acid. The ones with rose water or milk and Chandan are good organic options.
Hydrating serum
Face serums are amazing, no questions. In the Korean routine, hyaluronic acid is a must. If you want that dewy skin that glows apply hyaluronic acid and pair it with vitamin c or any other favorite serum.
Light Moisturizer
Using a light moisturizer will effectively lock all the moisture in your skin keeping it clear and radiant. Make sure it’s not too heavy. Using a gel-based one like the Neutrogena super light moisturizer can be helpful.
Sunscreen / Tinted sunscreen (SPF 50)
Since the Korean routine focuses on exfoliation it is necessary to apply sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 50 or higher to protect the skin. You can also use tinted sunscreen if you want to skip another layer of foundation.
Keep following the routine for a few weeks. Let your skin soak in all the nourishment and care. Done? Now look in the mirror, you have skin as smooth as a glass.
