Koreans are known the world over for their flawless, luminous 'glass skin', and it is for this effect that more and more women are adopting Korean skincare for their faces. Beautiful skin is not just about cosmetics, it is a tradition from which young Korean women are taught from a young age about proper sun protection and a healthy lifestyle. In addition, laboratories, of which there are many in the Korean market, are always looking for new solutions, novelties, ingredients and applications, and are really ahead of other countries. The Korean women's diet is rich in pickles; such products have an anti-acne, anti-wrinkle and hydrating effect on the skin. This is followed by full-body scrubs performed with rough body washes and proper moisturisation.
Skincare for the face is 10 steps and, believe me, it is simple, well thought-out and, above all, effective. Why? Because I have been using it myself for 6 years and my skin has never looked so good, and for the last 3 years I have been faithful to OxygenCeuticals cosmetics, which are professional preparations used in over 600 aesthetic medicine clinics and spas in Korea and around the world.
- As a first step, a natural oil is used to wash away make-up and the first impurities. Ladies with oily skin can also use it, as it does not clog pores. It will thoroughly cleanse and moisturise. (Double Remover Oxygen Ceuticals)
- This is followed by a gel that turns into a foam on contact with water. This is how Koreans like it when products change their consistency or colour etc. This cleanser will remove any remaining impurities and deep clean the pores.(Purifying Foaming Wash). Proper cleansing will ensure that the cosmetics you apply to your face are well absorbed. The negative effects of careless make-up removal are pimples, a dull, grey complexion and, above all, an accelerated ageing process.
- We use an enzyme peel to exfoliate dead skin. On average, once a week.(Daily Botanicals Enzyme Peel).
- Tonify the skin, thereby restoring a healthy pH. (Nutrient Toner, Toning Gel). A healthy or slightly acidic pH (pH 5.5), its violation leads to excessive oiliness or flakiness of the skin. For those with a much higher - i.e. acidic - pH, such an environment is ideal for bacteria, which in turn leads to the formation of eczema.
- Pour on the essence. The essence prepares the skin for the absorption of the other preparations. Its composition is very rich depending on the needs, very moisturising, anti-wrinkle or vitamin.(Anti-Wrinkle Essence Forte).
- We apply a serum often referred to as a fluid in Korea, very efficient as just one drop is enough to achieve the desired effect. (Acell 300 Fluid, Serum 17, B5 Serum)
- We pat in the daytime face cream (more protective, anti-radical, oxygenating) Hydrating Cream, in the evening (regenerating and rebuilding). (Age Defying Caviar Cream)
- UV 50 P+++ sunscreen. It protects and blocks harmful rays very well, has a light texture and does not leave a white layer on the face. It can be overlaid with BB cream or foundation. (TP Sun Cream 50 PA+++)
- Eye serum with a light gel texture that can be applied to the upper and lower eyelids. Eye cream with a creamy texture, light and highly nourishing. These preparations can work wonders! (360 Eye Perfection Duo)
- A sheet mask used every 2nd day, with a very rich composition.(Oxygen PP Mask, Oxygen Ceutisome Mask, HA Gel).
And remember the face in a woman doesn't end at the neck, it's also the cleavage that ladies often forget about!
