10 steps to skin care with Korean cosmetics
Many have heard about Korean cosmetics, someone even used one or more products with more or less success.
But Korean cosmetics differ from all others precisely in that they represent a harmonious system of skin care for the face and body, consisting of 10 stages.
In Korea, there is a centuries-old culture of skin care using natural products, which is primarily aimed at preventing and solving dermatological problems, and not at masking them.
That is why Korean women around the world are famous for their beauty and look younger than their years.
Consider this 10-step system for using cosmetics, adhering to which any woman will be able to experience the effect in full. It is important not to miss a single step - cleansing and preparing the skin, toning, if necessary, therapeutic effect, moisturizing, protection.
- Skin cleansing
Cleansing is one of the most important stages of care, one might say fundamental, since it is necessary for owners of any type of skin.
It would seem that you can just wash, in extreme cases, with soap. But Korean manufacturers suggest using the double cleansing method, which allows you to qualitatively remove dust, greasy secretions, germs from the surface of the skin.
For this purpose, it is proposed to use hydrophilic oil for oily and combination skin or a water-based cleanser. To completely cleanse the skin, it is first recommended to use oil, and then with foam, gel or a special stick.
- Exfoliation, or peeling
This stage is no less important than cleansing, since it removes dead cells from the surface of the skin. Means to exfoliate include natural scrubs, special masks, acid peels, after which the skin becomes soft and velvety, with activated upgrade processes at the cellular level. Specialists advise paying special attention to the T-zone (nose and chin), since it is there that the skin is fatter and black dots most often appear.
Well-cleansed skin is much better perceives the beneficial substances that are applied to it in the process of further care.
Important! Do not peel daily, just do it 1-2 times a week, depending on the type of skin.
- Toning
At this stage, the toner removes the remnants of previously used products, restores the tone of the skin, activates protective barriers and prepares the skin for further care.
- Essence Use
At this stage, therapeutic, functional cosmetics comes into operation . Healing essences accelerate cell regeneration, nourish the skin, help heal microcracks, and help restore acid balance.
- Serum
Here begins the most active effect on the skin, we can say the "heart" of the entire cosmetic process. The skin is actively moisturized, turgor is restored, cells are strengthened. Thick serum brightens and tightens the skin, fights wrinkles.
- Emulsions
At this stage, active nutrition and skin restoration continues, small wrinkles are eliminated.
If the serum is thicker and more viscous than the emulsion , then it is recommended that the fifth and sixth stages be interchanged.
- The use of masks
In the Korean skin care system, special attention is paid to masks , including fabric masks . A properly selected mask works with those problems that were not completely resolved by emulsions and essences. It is recommended to use masks 2-3 times a week.
Why are fabric-based masks good? The fabric holds nutrients and prevents them from evaporating from the surface or drying out ahead of time. Thus, the time of contact with the skin increases, the process of absorption of beneficial components into the deeper layers of the dermis is actively ongoing.
For many women, this is also an opportunity to relax for 15-30 minutes, combining the useful with the pleasant.
- Caring for the skin around the eyes.
This stage is undoubtedly important, because it is around the eyes that the first wrinkles appear. Korean manufacturers offer a wide selection of eye creams that fight dark circles, wrinkles, and sagging skin.
- Moisturizing
Moisturizing the skin is a protection against age-related changes, the ability to consolidate the effect of the effects of medical cosmetics. Most often, moisturizers are used before bedtime, often it is a night mask instead of a cream that is applied to the face and neck and is not washed off.
- Skin protection
It is very important to protect the skin from external factors: UV radiation, cold or hot air, wind. To protect the skin, you can use BB and CC creams , highlighters, day creams with UV protection .
The care program is selected individually after determining the type of skin, the presence of problems and individual characteristics.
