KOREAN BEAUTY SECRETS FOR ENVIABLE FLAWLESS SKIN

One of the biggest questions that come to mind when watching Korean dramas is: How do these girls have flawless skin? What is the secret to their porcelain skin?

We uncovered some well-kept beauty secrets that can help you achieve skin that looks amazing even as you age.

• Steamy, Hot Shower

Steam treatments and facial massages rejuvenate the skin to a great extent. They pamper themselves every morning by giving themselves a DIY facial in the shower. The steam opens pores and helps clear any dirt and grime that may have collected inside, and massaging damp skin keeps it glowing and looks younger. For healthy and dewy skin, take a hot shower and massage your face and neck. To maximize the benefits and hydrate your skin, use an oil cleanser or essence in a circular motion in an upward direction for 5-7 minutes.

• The Magic Potion is Tea 

Their tea culture goes beyond its taste. As well as being healthy and beneficial for the skin, it also contains antiviral properties. The list includes ginseng teas, green teas, and roasted barley teas. These teas are rich in antioxidants and help fight acne and other skin conditions, ensuring their skin remains clear and radiant. Besides helping you maintain a youthful appearance, these beverages are also beneficial for weight loss and blood circulation. Drinking any of these teas routinely can give you healthy, glowing, and flawless skin over time.

• Face-lifting Exercises

It is so important to them to have radiant skin that they will do anything to maintain it. The V-shaped jawlines are the result of face workouts. To preserve skin’s firmness and radiance, do brief mouth stretches. Exercises like puckering your lips and moving sideways, saying vowels exaggeratedly, smiling, and swallowing with your chin up can lift droopy and saggy skin and tighten it. Make sure you perform these facial stretches daily to see a difference in your face’s contours.

• Tapping is Vital

The correct application method, as well as a quality product, is crucial to skincare. When applying the products, ensure that you do it properly to gain additional benefits. When applying moisturizers or serums, do not smack or rub them on your face, but instead warm the product by rubbing it on the fingertips, then massage it all over the face in an outward motion. Tapping faces gently after applying products enhances results and makes the product easier to absorb. You can also pat your toner rather than swipe it for better absorption.

• Damp Cloth Exfoliation

They have taken exfoliation to a whole new level, resulting in beautiful skin. One of the favorite skincare hacks is to scrub the face with a soft cloth soaked in warm water. It is gentle on the skin and does the job well. Your skin will become smoother and brighter in minutes after using the nubby cloth. Additionally, this helps prevent wrinkles and fine lines. Soak a cotton cloth in warm water. Then squeeze the water out. To exfoliate your face, gently wipe it across your face in an upward motion.

• Don’t Forget Your Neck

According to a well-known adage, the key to flawless skin is taking care of it from head to toe.  They ensure that their skin is healthy and are vigilant towards wrinkles and sagging skin. The neck is as important to them as the face. However, there is one thing we must learn. The next time you apply neck cream, massage upwards to keep the neck as radiant and smooth as the face. After all, what’s the point of having glowing skin if your neck is wrinkled and dull?

• Overnight Masks Are Highly Beneficial

Nighttime is when your skin recovers and does all the repairing. It regenerates your skin cells, boosts collagen production, and revitalizes your skin while you sleep. That is why they are very particular about their beauty sleep. On top of that, they never go to sleep without putting on a moisturizing overnight mask. It retains and locks moisture in the skin, making it look more fresh and youthful in the morning. Furthermore, it reduces the appearance of aging signs and dullness while giving your complexion a refreshed glow.

• Rely On Charcoal

We all know charcoal helps clear skin and is trusted blindly to eradicate those annoying blackheads. But did you know that Koreans were responsible for inventing and popularizing charcoal face masks? Charcoal masks are now one of the most popular beauty products. It exfoliates the skin effectively and removes whiteheads and blackheads. As part of their blackhead-clearing regimen, they use charcoal sheet masks or prepare DIY face masks with activated charcoal and other natural ingredients.
