Top 5 benefits to a Korean skincare routine

Korean skincare (aka k-beauty) can help you to achieve the glass skin complexion you’ve always dreamed of.

The approach to Korean skincare is multi-level because each step has its specific purpose and benefits for the skin. First of all, the face needs to be cleansed twice a day, then layered with varying degrees of moisture and active ingredients. Whether the skin is young or mature, in the long run, following a Korean skincare regimen will definitely provide immense benefits.

There are many types of Korean skincare products available on the market. However, the key to success is understanding how to use active ingredients within these products correctly to address your specific skin concerns.

Korean skincare products are becoming more popular these days and for good reason. It is well known that Koreans use 8-10 steps in their beauty regimen; these steps may seem extensive, but they have the best skin in the world. First of all, they focus on moisturising, smoothing the skin, and keeping it radiant and youthful. Don't forget that double cleansing can remove any impurities and bacteria from the skin that may cause acne or pimples.

Products such as serums, essences, lotions, carrier oils and moisturisers are effective because you can choose different products according to your skin's needs. You may think that these layers will clog your skin, but layering is actually the best part. Compared with other products, the texture of Korean products is extremely light. Most are water-based and will be absorbed by the skin almost immediately. Only a small amount of each product is required to achieve an amazing effect on your skin.

1. It leaves you with dewy & plump skin

Hydration is the main focus of Korean skincare. You will notice that layering is the foundation of any Korean skincare routine; all products used offer some degree of hydration. One secret to achieving great skin is hydration. It makes you look younger, leaving you with supple and elastic skin. Due their lightweight texture, the products are well-absorbed by the skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth.

2. You can benefit from a simple routine

When starting out with a consistent routine, you do not need to follow a comprehensive 5-8-step skincare regimen, but there are three essential products you must use in your morning routine: cleanser, moisturiser and sunscreen. It is possible to achieve a beautiful complexion with a simple routine.

3. There are many products that can address your specific concerns

You can find a multitude of products that can address various concerns, such as pigmentation, acne or dryness. These are usually specified on the product’s packaging. For example, a cica cream targets redness and calms irritated/ sensitive skin. Look for an essence, serum or ampoule that is packed with the desired active ingredients.

4. It is affordable

Looking for quality skincare products but without the hefty price tag? Then you need k-beauty in your life! You can stock up on an entire 10-step routine (sheet masks, exfoliants and sunscreens included) for the price of a single “high-end” serum. Obtaining beautiful skin doesn’t have to be expensive!

5. It is innovative

Even though Korean skincare brands are creating a storm in the beauty world with their unique innovations, they are also quite affordable. Korean skincare products are known for their incorporation of non-conventional ingredients, such as snail mucin, horse oil, bee venom, and propolis. Although people from around the world may be attracted to these ingredients for their uniqueness, it is their magical effect that is precisely the reason why so many people love to use them.

Koreans invest so much money into their research and development and that’s why they are miles ahead of the rest of the world when it comes to innovative skincare products. Flawless “honey” skin is such an important part of their culture and that is why they invest so heavily in its research.
