We continue to explore the beauty routine of Korean girls and test products and tips from Asia. Some of them turned out to be strange and inconvenient (like the "jamsu" technique), and some proved to be effective. BeautyHack has chosen the most interesting and useful techniques that improve skin condition and help make a cool make-up!
Two-step make-up removal system
Korean girls use two makeup removers: an oil-based cleansing gel and a lather. Massage the gel onto the skin until the cosmetics "melt", rinse off the product with warm water, and then apply the foam, removing the remnants of the makeup. Important: use gels with oils in the composition (shea, rose, sweet almond, citrus seeds). They moisturize and restore natural balance. We liked how cremorlab brand products work together.
Make the serum yourself
The trick of many South Korean brands is the creation of products that solve one problem, whether it be moisturizing, eliminating dark circles under the eyes or signs of aging. For greater effectiveness, many Korean women mix several products and apply the finished serum to the skin. You can safely mix the funds below into one product.
Massage the serum
Korean massage technique is a real miracle! On the official youtube channel of the largest cosmetic store in South Korea Wishtrend.com, watch a video on how to properly massage your face and hands.
Use moisturizing night masks
Night masks are another innovation from South Korea. They look more like a dense gel and are applied over a night cream. Their task is maximum hydration. Best of all, the funds work from 22.00 to 2.00, when the skin actively absorbs all the beneficial components. Use masks a couple of times a week.
Apply a finisher before applying makeup
To make the faces of Korean women literally glow with beauty and health, they use a finisher before making a make-up. Many people confuse a product with a primer. The finisher is a skincare product and prepares the skin for the application of tone and other products. It helps to achieve that very "no make up" effect. The brands Missha, Su: m-3, Skin Food have finishers.
Look for products with rice extract in the composition
In South Korea, this ingredient is often found in face creams. Look for the phrase - Oryza sativa Extract on the packaging. Rice extract stimulates the synthesis of filaggrin (a protein responsible for the structural integrity of the stratum corneum) and collagen, making the skin firm, elastic and increasing its protective function.
Honey mask for dark circles under the eyes
Honey Mask from the I'm from brand is one of the most popular products in Asia. Korean women often use the product to reduce dark circles under the eyes. They mix a spoonful of honey mask with a couple of drops of their favorite oil, apply it to the skin, leave the mixture for 20 minutes, and then wash off with warm water. The product consists of 37.8% natural honey, the rest is water, sunflower oil, jojoba (another very popular ingredient in South Korea), extracts of propolis, grapefruit, pomegranate.
Once a week - volcanic clay mask
This is the favorite mask of Korean girls. Innisfree contains 6.020 mg of Jeju volcanic clay. The mask solves several tasks - it reduces pores, deeply cleanses, evens out tone and exfoliates dead cells.
The 10 second rule
If possible, apply toner and moisturizer within 10 seconds after showering - this is the message of Korean researchers. The theory is explained very simply: at this time, the pores are open and the skin is receptive to funds.
Use toner instead of a towel
Towels are also very bacteria-laden and not 100% likely to wash out all the chemicals after washing. Korean girls tip: Dry your face after cleansing, then apply toner and wait for it to dry.
