Let’s admit, Koreans are best at the beauty game while rest of the world wants to know the reasons for their“glass-like” skin. We all get mesmerized (and jealous) by their flawless skin while bingeing on our favourite Korean drama. That’s the first (and probably the last) thing we (beauty-conscious-women) care about.

While the world was busy practising 3 step skincare routine, i.e., cleansing, toning, and moisturizing. K- beauty companies enlightened us with the BB-Creams, sheet masks, and serums that worked wonders for women. There was a massive difference in real-life complexions, making them wear less makeup which was a dream before.

Korean women are trained since childhood for using remedies, tips, and tricks to get radiant skin. The list we have curated for you today consists of 8 Korean beauty secrets that have provided glowing skin to hundreds and thousands of women out there and can work for you.

Deep Cleansing is essential

There’s nothing better than a cleansed skin. To get better-than-great skin, you need to cleanse it in twice. Double cleansing is proven to give extra-ordinary benefits as it clears every last bit of makeup and dirt and preserves skin health.

The rule is to cleanse with a foaming cleanser along with an oil-based cleanser.

For a youthful glow, you need to apply a double eye mask. It is a must to protect your under-eyes from getting those ugly-looking fine lines.

This step will ensure giving ample hydration to your skin and providing to lock-in the moisture for younger-looking, soft, and smooth skin.

Never forget your neck

All your efforts will be in vain if you leave your neck while skincare routine. No one likes a wrinkly, dull-looking neck when your face is all glammed up.

If you think no one is going to notice the neck area, YOU ARE MISTAKEN. Treat your neck as equal to your face.

Korean beauty experts recommend massaging the neck in an upward motion with a neck cream.

You can count on k-beauty sheet masks that extend to the neck area.

When applying serums and other hydrating products to your neck, make sure to start from the chest area.

In addition to these, products that help treat hyperpigmentation; like glycolic acid and retinol can also be used on the neck and chest.

Slapping your face to improve blood circulation

This technique is as effective as weird.

No one has pleasant associations relating to slapping or being slapped. But this technique is proven to help in improving blood circulation.

The process will include a balance of gentle pats and extra-painful smacks. Don’t worry. Results are going to worth it! It will not just provide you with supple, plumper skin. But, on top of that, you’ll notice smaller pores and a reduced appearance of wrinkles.

This additional step after your skincare routine has some other benefits. It helps your serum, moisturizer to absorb more effectively to give radiant glowy skin.

This technique is not for you if your skin is super-sensitive and reddens just by resting your face on the hand.

Steam massage your face

Steaming does wonders for your skin. It is enormously beneficial and practised for centuries by beauty experts.

To recall some of its benefits, steaming helps in boosting blood circulation by dilating blood vessels. The process releases trapped sebum-oil produced by sebaceous glands for skin lubrication that causes acne and blackheads. Steaming also opens up the pores to loosen the dirt build-up in the skin, making it easier to extract blackheads.

Steaming can be done at home or by professionals (definitely your call). At home, you can steam over a hot-water bowl or sink or even with a warm towel. If you want more powerful steam, invest in a facial steamer.

You can have a professionally-done steam facial. The process will be done using a steam machine adjusted to your skin’s sensitivity level. Generally, estheticians steam during the cleansing step to provide a deep cleanse to the skin. However, some also steam during the exfoliation phase to achieve optimal results.

Blurring to achieve HD perfect skin

‘Blurring’ is a Korean Makeup technique to achieve flawless skin. Without any effort!!

It involves layering moisturizers, primers, and creams to reduce acne’s look, fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin.
