Double cleansing to exfoliation: Korean beauty tips to get radiant skin

When binge-watching Korean dramas, one question that always comes to mind is, "How in the world do these Korean girls have such perfect skin?" Korea continues to be at the top of the beauty game, even as the rest of the world marvels. 

However, it is not effortless for them either. To maintain their immaculate skin, they pay close attention to their skincare regimen, food, cosmetics, and other factors. Women are trained from an early age, receiving skincare tips and beauty advice from elders in the family. Check out these Korean beauty secrets that you may not be aware of to achieve the glass-like skin that Koreans seem to have naturally.

Double cleansing

Cleansing with an oil-based cleanser to melt away all the make-up, oil based impurities and dirt. Follow up with a water-based cleanser to ensure no impurities are left behind. Proper cleansing helps to prevent pore clogging and is one of the essential steps to achieving glass skin.

Hydration

A lot of people miss out on the importance of hydration. Proper hydration can instantly refresh and plump up dry, dehydrated skin and also help to take years off our face. Drink plenty of water as that’s the key to the right kind of hydration.

Exfoliation

Exfoliate with chemical exfoliants like AHA/BHA twice or thrice a week to avoid dead skin build-up. It also speeds up cell turnover, which in turn brightens skin.

Antioxidants

Give your skin an antioxidant boost to fight those everyday free radicals that cause us to age. Bywishtrend 21.5 pure vitamin C is a highly concentrated night serum with 90 per cent vitamins that can just do the trick.

Moisturise

Antioxidants helps fight free radical damage and using an antioxidant-based moisturizer to seal off everything gives skin an extra layer of protection and nourishment. Klairs' Vitamin E mask is a multifunctional cream that can be used as a mask, sleeping pack and daily moisturiser. It is fortified with vitamin E to remove wrinkles and prevent signs of ageing like niacinamide, and adenosine, and help brighten and firm up the skin.
