Get That Dewy, Radiant Skin With These K Beauty-Inspired Skincare Practices
Supplements Are The Next Big Thing
Beautiful skin truly starts from the inside out. If your diet is lacking in micronutrients, a skin supplement can help fill in the gaps. Hence, taking vitamins and supplements to maintain skin’s health is becoming increasingly popular in Korea. If you are not into supplements and you want to give your skin a hard hit of hydration, we recommend investing in this uber-hydrating essence.
Use A Product With Nail Mucin
If you’re familiar with Korean skincare, you’re likely to have crossed paths with snail-based face care that promises to tackle wide-ranging skin woes. From improving skin’s texture to giving a hefty dose of hydration and brightening the skin – this face serum does it all. It also helps boost collagen production to leave skin plumped, glowing, and youthful.
LED Mask FTW!
If you’re looking to give your skin some serious TLC during the quarantine, you need to call on an LED face mask. It’s like giving your skin a fancy facial by exposing your skin to different wavelengths of light. LED lights help in boosting skin’s health, promoting collagen and preventing fine lines. Want to light up your skin? Add this LED device to your cart ASAP.
Pat, Don’t Rub!
Yes, cheat days are for food, not for your skincare regimen. Make the most out of your skincare products by using them every single day and applying them the right way. When using skincare serums, try patting in your serums to help the formula penetrate deeper into your skin and boost blood flow to activate the cells.
Your Neck Needs Skincare Too
PSA: Your skin doesn’t end at your face but you need a dedicated skincare routine for your neck too. Remember to smoothen 5 to 6 drops of your face serum over your neck area. This will help you to keep your skin smooth, radiant, and youthful for longer.
It’s Time To Get Technical
TBH, There’s no shortage of viral Korean products and skincare trends under the beauty umbrella. From facial massager to sculpting tools – the payoff of these tech devices comes in the form of increased absorption of nutrients into the skin. All you need to do is use a facial device to give your skin a spa-like massage after applying the last layer of moisturiser.
