CAUTION: Ultra smooth glowing skin alert!
There is no reason not to follow the very elaborate Korean skincare routine unless you’re suspiciously not into plump and healthy-looking skin! In the recent past, the consciousness around skincare has seen a rapid increase on a global scale, with people across the globe investing large amounts of money and time into setting dedicated skincare regimes for healthier skin!
The introduction of Korean skincare into the market has only accelerated this shift. Korean skincare has been the centre of attention for all the right reasons. The 10-step beauty regime never disappoints when it comes to getting that radiant glass-like skin. Korean skincare focuses on moisturising, keeping your skin hydrated, and correctly providing the essential serums and nutrients to your skin and also covers both am and pm routines that result in glow-up like no other!
This routine is relaxing and rejuvenating, and with the right products and ingredients within, you’re not far from glowing like the OG K-icons! A lot of celebrities and influencers across the globe are walking the K-Path, and here are 3 key reasons why you should too:
1. Minimal Approach
Instead of layering multiple heavy and cakey products on your skin, the Korean skincare regime is a process that’s focused on deep hydration using serums, toners and whatnot!
These products are of light formulations and do not clog pores and weigh down your skin. While the excessively (to some) elaborate 10-step routine might come across as extremely overwhelming and confusing, the products used in this routine are so easy on the skin with their gel-like texture and absorption capabilities. This way your skin also gets the goodness of multiple products from just a handful of essentials, decluttering your beauty cabinet and going easy on your pocket!
2. Natural Ingredients
The authentic traditional Korean skincare regime is entirely pro-nature and consists of ingredients that are known as age-old skin magicians! Skincare in Korea and Jeju relies heavily on natural, gentle ingredients that grow locally, including green tea, volcanic ash, and aloe vera. The authenticity of Korean skincare is only validated if it is naturally derived and cruelty-free. The perfect blend of natural ingredients and advanced technology is what makes Korean skincare so effective!
3. Tailored To Your Skin’s Requirements
All Korean skincare products are tailored to address specific skin types and skin problems. It’s very is its ability to address the root of the concern and tailor the treatment based on that. Therefore, this isn’t a skincare range that falls under the “one size fits all” category.
Considering Korean skincare consists of multiple steps, you can also customise these steps based on your skin’s requirements. You can add or deduct steps and products as you deem fit. You can even skip the entire traditional regime and use the one that combines cleansing, toning, hydrating serum, and a moisturiser to pack in all the hydration.
Although these 3 key points make for an extremely convincing argument themselves, we’ve got more reasons to share so why stop at just 3? Here are some non-technical and more fun reasons to switch to K-regime:
Some Relaxing Me-time!
Korean skincare owing to its elaborate process gives you the much-needed time off with yourself. It not only boosts your self-confidence with stunning results but also makes you feel mentally relaxed while engaged in it. Imagine lighting a lovely candle and practising a therapeutic 20-minute skincare session! Sounds like a self-care date!
Girls Night In Fun!
Sleepovers with the girls are the best and even better when paired with the Korean skincare regimen! The 10-step routine will feel like a breeze when done with the company of your friends. So grab some snacks and a fun movie while you wait out your new glow together!
Adorable packaging!
Cute packaging is the Korean expertise! Everything Korean that’s packed and sold is packed into the most adorable little user-friendly packages. The best part about the packaging of Korean skincare products is that their aesthetics don’t compromise their utility, making them the perfect pick!
Now that we’ve answered your WHYs, it’s time to adopt that routine ASAP for that Song Joong Ki-like glow!
