The Korean girls are known for their porcelain skin, particularly after the raised awareness regarding skincare and beauty. Many accredit genetics for beautiful skin, but it should not be unheeded that self-care also plays a great role.

The Korean skincare ritual comprises different stages. Here we have whittled down for you all the essential tips that are religiously followed by them.

Did You Know About the Snail Extract?

Having been one of the most famous ingredients in skincare and cosmetic products in Korea, the studies date back to the 1960 era. Snail mucus possesses a lot of benefits for your skin, with the secretion having special healing power. It also contains elastin and collagen which is essential for skincare and exactly what we all need!

The cleaning processes

Cleansing forms the most important step in skincare. Day and night cleansing both need to be emphasised on. It takes about 15 minutes for the evening cleansing which is normal.

The introduction of hydrophilic oils by Koreans has actually helped to remove the strongest makeup on your skin. The first and foremost step includes cleaning to remove all the makeup residue from your skin with the use of oil formulas.

Then comes the second stage when you cleanse your skin thoroughly using washable foam. After this you get to the third step which involves exfoliation. This removes all the dead skin cells and thoroughly cleanses the dirt accumulated in your pores. Thus, ensuring that your skin is completely renewed.

BB cream over foundation

As per Korean skincare, foundation contains a lot of unimportant ingredients and causes dryness on the skin. they prefer using BB cream instead which basically refers to  beauty balm. This skincare product conceals blemishes very effectively. It is available in a range of different shades possessing brightening abilities as it augments your skin with hyaluronic acid along with our essential skincare ingredients.

More so, it's enriched with vitamin C and glycerine which makes your skin tone even and hydrates your complexion. it possesses a very smooth texture, which renders it suitable to blend well with your skin to cover any fine lines.

Since it provides very light coverage, you can use it daily. So, if you want to go for a no makeup look, you can opt for bb cream with a little blush to achieve the ideal dewy look. A BB cream from a good brand also contains sunscreen, so for winter days if you are wearing your BB cream, you don’t need to apply sunscreen separately.

Seasonal change of products

Switching skincare products is considered a bad choice. Most of you girls tend to stick to that one product that you are using on your skin for life. but the trick is to not miss the new best seller that comes to the market.

The trend is such that every season a new skincare product  appears with enhanced quality to be replaced by the old one. According to experts, changing seasons calls for a change in products for your skin. When you keep switching products on a seasonal basis, your skin does not get used to specific ingredients but is amenable to different skincare formulas.

Moreover, your skin undergoes natural changes over time, this requires switching up products. For instance, if your skin unexpectedly appears oily from dry or it starts to break out, then you need to adjust the skincare products accordingly, rather than swearing by a specific few to help you deal with these issues.

Sun protective measures

Korean skincare is all about having flawless, dewy complexion. ensuring sun safety should be your top priority all year round. Sun tan is associated with a myriad of issues including collagen breakdown and premature ageing. It is for this reason you would often notice Korean women with hats and umbrellas.

You can also protect your skin by applying sunscreen to fill one shot at least half an hour before stepping out of the house. A lip balm infused with sunscreen to protect your lips from the sun is also suggested, an SPF 30 for lips should be fine.

Also make sure you keep yourself covered if you go outdoors like long sleeves, collared shirts, big hats that cover your face, ears and neck.
