Everyone wishes to have soft and smooth skin. When it comes to beauty skincare care regimes, Koreans are the experts! It is said that Koreans generally reduce the number of chemicals in their products and increase the number of organic ingredients in order to give their skin a boost. In addition to their great skincare regimes, Koreans also have a very healthy diet. The Korean beauty routine is a 10 step process that can do wonders for your skin. However, this routine requires some patience and diligence. Read below to know more about this Asian beauty routine.
1. Cleansing
Removing all your makeup and the dirt from your face is essential before doing anything else. Choose an oil-based cleanser and apply it directly to your face and your neck. Massage the cleanser into your face by making circular motions. Then, splash warm water on your face and continue massaging. This will help to remove all the dirt from your face all while keeping your face clean.
2. Tapping
Once you’ve finished with the cleansing part, tap your face gently. This can seem a bit strange, but the tapping will increase the blood circulation in your face. This will also help keep your muscles tight. If you don’t feel comfortable with tapping your face, you can massage your face instead; you’ll get the same results.
3. Exfoliating
Exfoliating means to remove all of the dead skin cells from the skin. Removing all the dead cells from your skin will brighten it. Wash your face with water and dry it with a clean towel. Take an organic exfoliator or a homemade one and start (gently) scrubbing it on your skin with circular movements. The particles present in exfoliators will eliminate the dead cells and will make your skin soft.
4. Toner
Toners have become an integral part of beauty routines. Toners help maintain the level of humidity in the skin.
5. Essence
It is a lotion that helps restore hydration to the skin and to keep it hydrated for a long period of time. Koreans think that supplementary humidity can balance the skin and can also maintain the Ph levels which in the end, makes your skin smoother and brighter.
6. Facial mask
Facial masks are essential because they are loaded with natural ingredients, vitamins and antioxidants that provide healthy nutrients to the skin.
7. Eye cream
The next step consists of taking care of your under eye area. The skin around your eyes is very delicate and needs to be looked after. Eye creams protect and hydrate the zone under the eyes. Use this type of cream every day so you have healthy skin.
8. Hydrating
Hydrating your skin will make your skin soft and smooth. Apply a hydrating cream twice a day.
9. Rice water
All you need to do is take some rice and leave it in a bowl filled with water for 20-25 minutes. Use the milky water as a toner and wipe it gently all across your face with a tissue.
10. Sunscreen
The last step consists of protecting your skin with a sun protector. Choose the type of sunscreen that works best for your skin type.
