Coveted by many women, a glowing Korean-like skin is a dream come true. To achieve the right skincare routine, one must be able to distinguish between glowing skin and oily skin. Glowing skin means having a hydrated, smooth, healthy, and radiant complexion. Oily skin, on the other hand, is characterized by a lack of moisture and an excess of oil, resulting in a shiny appearance and enlarged pores. Korean women follow these basic skincare steps to achieve their desired glowing skin.
Use toner or moisturizer before applying serum
This technique helps provide moisture to the skin and creates a thin protective layer for deeper penetration of nutrients from the serum. Choose products that contain moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid or niacinamide to ensure skin hydration and a smooth texture.
2. Use exfoliating products 1-2 times per week
Exfoliating is an essential step in cleansing the skin, allowing better absorption of other nourishing products.
Blocked pores due to dead skin cells can make the overall complexion look dull and lifeless. Therefore, use a gentle exfoliating product 1-2 times a week to remove dead skin cells and brighten the skin.
3. Use vitamin C serum and sunscreen every morning
Vitamin C serum has the ability to reduce dark spots and pigmentation. Applying a small amount of vitamin C serum on the skin every morning before moisturizer and sunscreen helps protect your skin from the harmful effects of sunlight.
4. Choose a moisturizer suitable for your skin type
Select products that contain moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and glycerin. At the same time, avoid using oily or high oil content moisturizers to prevent excessive oiliness.
5. Finish your skincare routine with facial oil
Facial oil helps control excess oil while maintaining a healthy glow. Choose a lightweight facial oil that does not clog pores, such as almond oil or rosehip oil. Apply a small amount of facial oil to the skin after completing the previous skincare steps.
Don’t forget to maintain a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and ensure an adequate amount of sleep for your skin to rest and rejuvenate. Avoid direct sunlight and always use sunscreen when going outside to protect your skin from UV rays. Maintain a healthy lifestyle to support your skincare journey.
