Basic steps of Korean facial skin care

Perhaps it is difficult to find a woman in the world who would not want to look beautiful and attractive at any age. As for Korean women, for them facial beauty is simply elevated to a cult. Korean women start taking care of their skin very early. Even in adulthood, the skin on the face of Korean women looks young and toned. What is the reason for this effect and what affects the youth and health of the skin? It turns out that they use a multi-stage system to cleanse and nourish the skin, and it is thanks to it that they manage to look perfect for a long time.

Koreans claim that a beautiful face is to wear a minimum of cosmetics, and youth and beauty are maintained through constant skin care, which must be cleansed, nourished and moisturized. Korean women bring beauty much longer than European women. Many are accustomed to washing their face with plain water in the morning or wiping their face with a tonic, after which they apply cosmetics. For Korean women, such washing is clearly not enough. They take care of their skin more competently and do it regularly.

Korean care means that the skin must be prepared for the application of any cosmetic products. It needs to be cleaned of impurities to keep it shining all day. After going through the 10-step Korean skin care system, you can expect that the skin will be transformed and will be fresh and radiant, bags and puffiness will disappear.

For washing, Asians use a system called 424, which means that it takes 4 minutes to cleanse the face, apply the foam for 2 minutes, and wash it with water for 4 minutes.

From a young age, Korean girls begin to struggle with age-related imperfections on the skin and soon get rid of problems, and do not cover up acne with tonal means.

Several layers of preparations are applied to the skin of the face, due to which a deep and intense effect is exerted on it.

After sleeping on the skin, there are residues of impurities that are formed as a result of the work of the sebaceous and sweat glands. It is the morning cleansing that should be complete and include not only the usual washing with soap. Asian women pay special attention to moisturizing their face and protecting them from the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays. In Korea, it is generally not customary to sunbathe, women prefer to protect their skin and always wear sunscreen. In a Korean woman's cosmetic bag, you can see care products and quite a bit of decorative cosmetics. They believe that nothing can beautify a girl better than a young and clean face.

According to surveys, ordinary women, when caring for their skin, use only two stages - cleansing and applying a cream in the morning and / or in the evening. Japanese and Korean girls practice multi-stage skin care. Each step is important and fulfills a specific function. When applying funds, you must do it consistently. Korean girls prefer to take care of their skin to the fullest and go through all the stages.

The advantages of the Korean method include:

• Large selection of care products. Korean women prefer to change cosmetics frequently and do not choose a particular brand. Manufacturers regularly release new items. Due to the frequent change of products, the skin does not get used to them and remains receptive to beneficial components.
• UV protection. When buying a product, it is important that it contains components that protect from the sun.
• Minimal use of cosmetics.

Those women who have mastered the Korean multi-stage skin care method note that they have noticeably reduced the number of wrinkles, they managed to get rid of acne, and give the skin a radiance. Thanks to this technique, you can slow down the aging process and prolong youth.

Although this method has gained great popularity, it has certain disadvantages, which are as follows:

• It will take a lot of time to apply all the funds.
• The high price of beauty products. Korean women consider constant facial care the most correct, so they can spend quite a lot of money on it.
• Adverse reactions. As with all cosmetics, Korean cosmetics contain certain products that contain acids, which often cause allergies.
• May not suit everyone. The skin of European and Asian women is different in structure, therefore, such cosmetics can harm the owners of oily epidermis.

Korean face care requires certain rules to be followed:

• Visit to a beautician. It is quite common for Korean women to visit a cosmetologist or dermatologist once or twice a week. He will give advice on care, carry out procedures, adjust the system.
• Choosing a cosmetic product, Korean women choose cosmetics of any brand, without getting hung up on one. They will gladly take advantage of new products, and will not use the same product for a long time.
• Hydration is a prerequisite for care. Asians have dry skin, so they treat it abundantly with oils. They can apply them in several layers. Thanks to abundant nutrition, it becomes soft, like velvet.
• Apply the product in a thin layer, gently patting it with your fingers.
• Applying masks for Asian women can be considered a real ritual. If European women use masks 1-2 times a week or less, Asian women believe that there are never too many masks, and they do them every day.

• When using cloth masks, they must not be reused as this can lead to irritation and inflammation.
• It is extremely important for Korean women to take off their makeup before going to bed. You cannot go to bed with cosmetics, as during sleep toxins will enter the skin, which will lead to its inflammation.
• When applying products, you must first use a liquid texture, and then apply thick formulations.
• To moisturize and nourish the skin around the eyes, patches are used that are filled with glycerin, oils and vitamins. Thanks to them, you can get rid of expression lines, dark spots and bags under the eyes.
• Sunburn and UV protection. Asian women, unlike European or American women, will never sunbathe in the sun without protecting their face with a product from the harmful effects of UV rays. Almost all Korean-made creams contain SPF. It is especially important to apply a product with UV protection for women after 30 years.

Taking into account the fact that for each type of skin certain products are needed, it is important to know how to properly care for dry, oily, combination skin. There is a certain method, thanks to which you can choose an individual care for each type.

Many people think that oily skin with acne and rashes occurs only in adolescence, but this is not the case. More than 30% of people can have these problems for a very long time. Oily skin is characterized by enlarged pores, inflammation, acne. Facial skin often has an oily sheen, especially in the T-zone.

Those who have such problems should refrain from products that can dry the skin, as they can provoke increased sebum secretion.

Using the Korean method of caring for this type of skin, it is necessary to thoroughly cleanse the skin, but it must be done with care so as not to injure it.

Owners of dry skin often complain of tightness, peeling, and itching. To relieve unpleasant symptoms, it is necessary to moisturize the skin, and do not forget about exfoliation.

For cosmetics for dry skin, the packaging should indicate that the product is suitable for moisturizing. Given that there is not enough moisture in the upper layers of the epidermis, skin prone to excessive dryness may age earlier. Korean cosmetologists recommend using gentle essences that will not clog pores. They are used at night to moisturize and nourish the skin. Berrisom Essence is an excellent option for soothing flaky skin.

It is important to exfoliate regularly to avoid flaking. For this, it is recommended to use the Mizon peeling gel.

Owners of combination skin should be treated with a combination of several cosmetics. Often, girls of this type suffer from dry cheeks and fat content in the T-zone. To eliminate the shortcomings, it is worth carrying out regular cleansing. To do this, take a hydrophilic oil, which removes impurities, after applying it, the skin will be prepared for the assimilation of substances. Then the Saem toner is used, carefully working out the T-zone. You should take a toner with cleoma extract. Thanks to the properties of this African flower, the pores will be less visible.

With normal skin, it is important to properly care for it, maintain acid balance and moisture. This can be achieved by using Deoproce Collagen Moisturizing Toner. After its application, a kind of film forms on the skin that protects the face from the effects of the external environment.

Often, women with sensitive skin have problems in the form of tightness, itching, peeling and inflammation. Caring for such skin should be very gentle.To soothe sore skin, apply shea butter, aloe juice, or use green tea.

Korean girls often use all kinds of masks to get rid of peeling. You can choose any composition suitable for your skin type. Cosmetologists recommend opting for the Kocostar face mask. It contains coconut milk, which will care for inflamed and sensitive skin. The mask is recommended to be done at night in order to get a stunning result in the morning. The face after using it will be younger, fresher, the skin will become more elastic.

Korean manufacturers offer a wide range of cosmetics that are suitable for different skin types. It is important to make the right choice and find a tool that will satisfy all these requirements.

The Korean facial care system will work if it is carried out in stages. There is a ten-step scheme that allows you to put your skin in order in a short time.

Facial skin care in the evening:

• to cleanse the skin of the face, apply a hydrophilic oil and wash off the makeup with a light foam for washing;
• massage cream is applied up to 3 times a week, peelings and roll-up masks should also be included here;
• applying toner or mist;
• then a light and gentle milk or emulsion is applied;
• face cream is applied, with particular attention to the area around the eyes.

For European women, it may seem that this is a very long process, but thanks to such procedures, the skin is cleansed and restored.

The morning care for Asian women consists of the following steps:

• in the morning the skin is cleansed, for this they use a cream or foam for washing;
• then apply a toner or lotion;
• nourish the skin by applying a gentle emulsion, serum;
• cleanse the skin with milk;
• apply face cream;
• pay attention to the area around the eyes, apply a cream on it;
• after the cream, apply base products, a primer;
• at the final stage, makeup is applied.

Korean women do not use bright makeup, they think that this is how their face looks vulgar.

It may be difficult for European women to go through this multi-stage level and not break the sequence, but everyday procedures can improve the skin of the face, make them look 5 or 10 years younger.

Step care means:

• Purification. To cleanse the skin, Korean women use a foam for washing in the morning, and in the evening they choose a hydrophilic oil or foam to remove makeup. Cosmetologists recommend taking Holika Holika oil foam for washing. After applying it, excess sebum will be removed, the pores will be cleansed, and the skin will be moisturized.
• Cosmetic products for washing. After applying a hydrophilic agent, the skin is cleaned with foam or face soap, using a special mesh or sponge to create foam.
• Peels and scrubs. Thanks to them, dead cells are removed, the skin becomes renewed, black spots disappear. Peeling rolls are considered very popular in Korea, which are applied to a dry face, rolled into pellets, and then washed off.
• At this stage, Asian women are rubbing their face with an alcohol-free lotion. It is worth giving preference to mild sedatives that restore the acid balance of the skin.
• This step involves the application of the essence, thanks to which the skin will be prepared for the application of cosmetics. Korean women often prefer snail extract, which promotes skin regeneration. It is suitable for those who have sensitive and problem skin. You can also use a serum, that is, a serum that will be more concentrated than the essence, more useful, but also more expensive.

• Oil extracts. They are available in bottles with a pipette for easy application or in the form of a syringe.The oil base quickly penetrates deep into the skin, which provides good results in a short time. To achieve the effect, it is enough to apply 2-3 drops.
• Masks. Cloth and hydrogel masks are preferred by a large number of Korean women as they are affordable and easy to use. Their main advantage is high efficiency. They are made of cotton, clay, plant extracts, snail mucus, etc. are used for impregnation. Hydrogel masks have more active components, and when tightly adhered to the skin, they create a kind of greenhouse effect. Apply a fabric mask for 20 minutes, a hydrogel mask for 35-40 minutes.
• Application of the cream around the eyes. The area around the eyes is especially in need of care and proper care. The use of a gentle light cream will help fight the first age-related changes.
• At the penultimate stage, an emulsion is applied, which is a delicate cream. It is used for moisturizing. After 30-35 years, the skin begins to require increased attention, so age should also be taken into account when choosing this remedy. The emulsion can provide the skin with the necessary care. If the skin is oily, applying it alone is often sufficient. For dry skin, use a moisturizer.
• Applying sunscreen or a night mask.

At night, once a week, it is worth carrying out a deep cleansing procedure in the salon.

Korean women devote a lot of time to cleansing and nourishing the skin of the face, believing that this is its beauty, and that is why they try not to put on a lot of makeup. They usually do not use bright eyeshadow, rich lipstick, considering that it looks vulgar. For makeup, Asians use BB cream, delicate powder and an inconspicuous shine.

Having familiarized themselves with the Korean system, many may think that there is no need to spend money on such a large amount of cleansers, because only foam or soap was always enough. And besides, a bunch of applied products are immediately washed off from the skin. Often women buy the best and most expensive cream, thinking that it will solve all the problems. But without preliminary preparation of the face, any cosmetic product will not bring such a stunning result.

Korean women recommend cleansing the skin not only from the outside, but also to cleanse your body from the inside. To do this, you need to eat right, take antioxidants and drink plenty of green tea. Thanks to such cleansing, metabolic processes will occur faster, excess fat in the body will melt, and the skin of the face will become rested and young.

Reviews of girls who have tried the Korean method on themselves say that it will work if you regularly and consistently do all the procedures.

I was especially pleased with the result after applying the masks. Korean women use washable and indelible masks, they are applied at night, they are done during the day.

Such masks can be divided into types, which:

• help to moisturize the skin;
• brighten the skin and even out its tone;
• tightens and cleanses pores;
• restore and tone the skin;
• with a rejuvenating effect.

To achieve a greater effect, it is recommended to alternate masks and do them in turn.

It is worth applying masks on the face with massage movements so that the active ingredients can penetrate deeper into the skin. Korean women prefer cloth masks with cut holes for the mouth and eyes. The fabric is tightly applied to the face and kept for 10-20 minutes. After the procedure, the face is not washed.

Masks that are applied at night are especially popular among Korean women. It is recommended to apply them after applying a night cream to the face after 1-1.5 hours.

In addition to face masks, Korean women pay great attention to applying cream to the area around the eyes. A gentle cream should be applied to these areas by tapping with your fingers.

Korean creams are very different from the products of other countries, they are much lighter and more airy. After their application, there is never a film left on the skin. Be sure to familiarize yourself with its composition before buying a product. When choosing a day cream, it is important to make sure it has UV protection. Korean night cream has a thick consistency, it is applied in a thick layer.

When caring for the face, Asians never use sponges or other means. They apply cosmetics only with their hands. When applying tonic or lotion, they also pour it into the palms of their hands, then apply it to the face. Korean cosmetologists recommend using a light mist spray that is sprayed on the face.

It is up to everyone to use these recommendations or not, but the reviews of the girls after the application of the Asian system indicate that it works. Judging by the reviews, it is suitable for the care of any face skin. After applying the multi-stage system, many managed to get rid of acne, shrink pores, even out tone, remove excess fat in the T-zone. Products from Korea will cleanse the skin to a squeak.
