5 amazing KOREAN skincare techniques

Korean women never wipe their faces with a towel but have special tricks for perfect skin without much effort. Rarely does anyone invest as much time and love as Korean women when it comes to skincare... Check these tricks out!

1. Clean for one minute

Many Korean women clean their faces for exactly one minute. This can develop the full effect of the cleaning product - even if it is washed off later. And they don't do that in any way, but always apply cleansing products by moving the skin upwards - not downwards.

2. Face water

Korean women swear by “face water.” There are different face waters for different skin types, and sprays are not only used (for) fixing makeup but also for skincare. It will help to moisture your face and it is great preparation for makeup.

3. Tapping instead of rubbing

This is an old tip: everything you apply to your face should be applied by light tapping, not rubbing. In addition to ensuring better blood circulation in the skin, the product can later penetrate deeper into the skin. It is important that you do this as gently as possible. It is best to squeeze the product first on the skin, and then gently tap until it is absorbed.

4. Forget the towel!

After cleansing, do not dry your face with a towel, because rubbing the skin can react very quickly with redness. In order to irritate the skin as little as possible, and at the same time make it shiny, you should simply pat the remaining moisture with your fingers. In addition, if the face is still a little damp, the skin can better absorb the products.

5. Cocktails for skincare

The secret of Korean beauty is the following: skincare cocktails. Depending on what the skin needs, you can mix different serums and apply them all on the skin. Simply put all the products on your palm and lightly tap the cocktail on your skin. Every skin has different needs - sometimes just a moisturizer or anti-aging is not enough.

And of course, don’t forget a good layer of sunscreen!
