K-Beauty Secrets for Glowing Skin: Trends you must know about
Korean skincare routines are renowned for their multi-step approach, meticulous attention to detail, and emphasis on skin barrier health, minimizing pores, and other key factors.
Let’s review the basics of k-beauty:
Secret #1 : Double Cleansing
Double cleansing is an absolutely essential part of any K-beauty routine. It's a two-step process that aims to clean every single pore of your skin.
First, pick a cleanser oil based or water based, according to your skin type. For example, if you have oily to normal skin, you'll love micellar water! It's gentle and removes makeup and dirt easily.
After that, it's time to use a face wash or cleanser to get rid of any leftover impurities. Here is when the magic of Face Reset Cleanser comes in, this product gives a deep clean while being gentle on your skin, making it the perfect second step in your double cleansing routine. It has a hydrating ingredients list like hyaluronic acid, coconut-derived ingredients, and squalane that provides moisture to your skin without causing dryness after double cleaning. You'll feel soft and supple skin in one wash!
Secret #2: Dewy Skin Look
It's so important to hydrate your skin to keep it healthy and glowing! Add some special hydrators to your skincare routine, like serums, lightweight moisturizers, and mists that contain glycerin and hyaluronic acid. These will help keep your skin soft and supple!
Try incorporating products that work together to seal and prolong moisture in the skin barrier, such as our Shine Bright Serum, which is packed with niacinamide and tranexamic acid that work together to lock in moisture, reduce hyperpigmentation and restore your natural glow. Then follow with our C-Bomb Moisturizer, which contains Vitamin C and Panthenol to soothe and hydrate your skin while giving you a clear complexion, free of blemishes and dullness.
Or you can choose our Post-Workout Gel Mask, a refreshing treat that reduces inflammation in seconds! It's packed with niacinamide, green tea and centella asiatica, making it the perfect choice for dehydrated skin.
Secret #3: Sheet Masks
Sheet masks are a total favorite in Korean skincare. These amazing masks are soaked in serums packed with nutrients for all your skin's needs, like hydration or brightening. Just apply one, relax for 15-20 minutes, and enjoy a fresh, radiant complexion.
Secret #4: Fermented Ingredients
Fermented ingredients are a cornerstone of K-Beauty, offering enhanced benefits for the skin. The fermentation process breaks down active ingredients into smaller molecules, improving their absorption and potency. Popular fermented ingredients include rice, soy, and yeast extracts, known for their ability to hydrate, brighten, and nourish the skin. These ingredients also promote a healthy skin barrier and provide anti-aging benefits. Fermented skincare products are praised for their ability to deliver visible results, making them a sought-after component in achieving a radiant, youthful complexion. The use of natural fermentation aligns with K-Beauty's emphasis on gentle, effective, and holistic skincare solutions.
Secret #5: Sunscreen is Essential
Sunscreen is a must in Korean skincare. It's vital for protecting your skin and maintaining an even skin tone. Make sunscreen your daily habit to keep your skin healthy and radiant. For reliable sun protection, use Let It Sun SPF 50 (refreshing gel texture) Sundrop Sunscreen Oil (silky serum texture). Both are white cast free, contain antioxidants and hydration properties!
Secret #6: Face Oils
Face oils are making a comeback, even for those with oily skin. Modern face oils are lightweight and non-greasy, offering hydration without clogging pores. They help enhance the skin's natural barrier and provide a smooth, hydrated touch.
K-beauty ultimate trends of 2024
The glass skin trend is here to stay, and in 2024, it's evolved with new formulations for different skin types and concerns. Many skincare brands are using botanical extracts, advanced peptides, and probiotics to improve skin clarity.
The latest ingredients, including bakuchiol, tranexamic acid, squalane, hyaluronic acid, aloe vera extract, and peptides, are being used to enhance skin elasticity and give a youthful look thanks to their hydrating and collagen-boosting properties.
No more copy-paste and basic steps, in 2024 people want a customized skincare routine. It is crucial to consult a dermatologist or skin specialist with a K-beauty approach to target individual skin needs, whether dry, oily, or sensitive.
LED masks, laser treatments, and microcurrent tools are also making an impressive entrance, enhancing the effectiveness of skincare products and improving skin texture and glow.
