K-beauty is a buzzword in the beauty industry already. Here are some Korean beauty tips that will help you get that beaming-like-the-moon skin.
When beauty editors are on the lookout for new up-and-coming trends, we mostly look for shifts in the Korean beauty industry. Think about it: Korea gave us BB creams, sheet masks, and cushion compacts.
The reason we hold these women in such high regard when it comes to beauty is that they have the flawless sort of skin we can only dream of. Seriously, we’re talking real-life complexions that look like they have been Photoshopped with expert precision and without a ton of makeup. In fact, Korean women are big fans of the ‘no-makeup’ makeup look. So, we set about trying to uncover the skincare and makeup secrets that Korean women rely on for that moon-like glow, or as they call it, mul-gwang.
Here are three ride-or-die mantras from the pages of Korean skincare novellas that’ll give you envy worthy skin.
Swear By Deep Cleansers Before Makeup
Cleansing is the cornerstone of a better-than-great complexion. It is important because it’s the excess oil, dirt, and bacteria on your skin that can lead to premature ageing, dark spots, and breakouts. It’s incredibly important to be proactive and keep your skin clean because without a clean base, makeup will also not look good
So go for a triple-cleanse routine daily and we are sharing the step-by-step guide with you.
- First cleanse: Use a cleansing tissue to gently remove stubborn impurities on your skin, paying close attention to the sensitive eye and neck area.
- Second cleanse: Massage an oil cleanser into your skin to remove oil-based impurities. Rinse.
- Third Cleanse: On a wet face, add a cleansing foam to remove water-based impurities. Rinse and pat dry.
Tone Your Skin Like A Pro
Toning your skin is an essential step that closes your pores after they have been opened by the cleansing step. It also nourishes the skin with ingredients and nutrients such as ceramides, niacinamide, rose water, and more to your skin.
Invest In A More Extensive Skincare Routine
We know that it is slightly intimidating and can seem a bit pricey, but it’s worth the investment in both time and money. Layering skincare is the biggest game-changer. Most people just stick to a face wash and moisturiser. However, never overlook the importance of steps like exfoliating, toning, essence, and sleeping packs. Go big on an extensive step-by-step skincare routine which involves layering skincare products to get near perfect glass skin.
