Korean skincare: Korean skincare techniques and products have found a fond audience in its neighboring South-Asian countries. Be it snail mucin or fermented rice water, we have bought the claims of Korean skincare, which were corroborated by their magical results. As Korean skincare extends its footing in the grooming and skincare world here are some hacks to swear by to have that promise of healthy, and glowing skin no matter what product you use.
Korean beauties never take the cleansing of their face lightly. Our face accumulates gunk and grime throughout the day, and washing it just with soap and water is hardly effective in washing away all the dirt. People who wear makeup regularly need to pay extra attention while removing it and letting the face breathe.
Double cleansing requires washing away the makeup completely using a gentle oil-based cleanser, followed by any foaming face wash.
While the majority believes skincare products should be gently massaged over the skin, Korean skincare relies on tapping its way in. Gently patting or tapping your skincare products on skincare is the best way to boost blood circulation on the face while also relaxing it. The tapping or patting movement also enhances lymphatic flow for healthy and clear facial skin.
Sagging skin is natural with age and time. Like to keep your body muscles working you exercise, your facial muscles also require some exercising. Facial lymphatic massages, face rollers or gua sha are a great way to put them to work to combat wrinkles, skin sagging, and fine lines. You can also practice exercises like saying vowels in an exaggerated way to stretch your jaw muscles for a snatched jawline and more.
While it is second nature to go for a towel to dry our face, Korean skincare thinks otherwise. Towels host large amounts of bacteria bad for the skin. So single-use paper towels may be an alternative by rubbing your face with a towel creates friction that can irritate your skin.
It is a truth widely acknowledged that using skincare products on damp skin makes it easier to be absorbed for best results as the pores are most receptive of absorption after a washing. So apply your skincare products within ten seconds of washing your face.
The Korean word for ‘submerge’ is exactly what it means. As you are done with your face makeup without the eye or lip makeup yet set the base with baby powder or any translucent powder. Next, dunk your face in a bowl of cold water. The technique works similar to baking, locking your base, and giving it a matte finish, while the cold water tightens pores.
