In this article we share some of the essential tips that Koreans practice as part of their daily routine of facial care.
Layering (layer on layer)
The base of the beauty routine of the Koreans is the "layering". This system is to apply an over another, starting from the lightest to the thickest (waiting for them to be absorbed), with the aim of obtaining the maximum benefit and achieving a hydrated and healthy skin.
By carrying out this process at the bottom of the letter, the properties of the ingredients of each product are maximized, achieving spectacular results.
Deep cleaning
One of the fundamental elements in the beauty routine of Koreans is cleaning, which is carried out in two phases: superficial and deep. The first cleaning is carried out with an oil base, and the second, based on water. First you must eliminate all trace of makeup. This double system is recommended although you have not made make-up, because the dirt of the environment is deposited on the skin. For the first cleaning you can use some special product, or a natural oil, such as coconut oil. The second cleaning is done with a mild, aqueous soap.
Exfoliation
The exfoliation of the face must be carried out only once or twice a week. The objective is to withdraw any deeper dirt, and eliminate dead skin cells. This step provides luminosity to the skin and improves its texture. Likewise, it is a primordial step for the rest of the products that apply in the beauty routine, have a better absorption.
The essence"
The essence is the heart of the Korean routine, although it has not yet been popular on this side of the world. It applies after cleaning (and exfoliation, if this is the case) and before the Sérum. The essence is of light-based light texture, and has active ingredients of high penetration, so they are rapidly absorbed and with excellent results. He is able to duplicate the effectiveness of the rest of the products, and potentiates cell renewal.
The serum
The Sérum, despite being similar to essence, is a much dense texture and is designed for specific skin problems, such as spots, dehydration or wrinkles.
This product is characterized by containing very concentrated amounts of its active ingredients, so they are highly effective.
The Sérum also focuses on cellular renewal, giving luminosity to the skin.
Facial masks Monodose and Sheet Masks
The monodose masks are applied once or twice a week, and are left over the face 20 minutes on average. The variety of masks of this type available in the market is very spacious, for each specific need of the skin. Its effect is immediate and deeper due to the combined result of other products that nourish and prepare the skin for greater absorption.
On the other hand, the Sheet Masks are ideal for providing hydration. Its materials allow the mask to fit the shape of the face, and to be like a mask, the nutrients are perfectly absorbed, without risk of evaporating.
Eye contour cream
The skin around the eyes is much more delicate than the rest of the face, so it is necessary to treat it with specific products for that area. These creams usually decrease inflammation, the signs of age and provide luminosity to the skin. It is important to note that this product should be applied with the annular finger or little finger, softly and circular, and never too close to the eye, because it can irritate it.
