Want Glowing Skin Like Koreans, Try This Beauty Routine

Korean girls are very meticulous about their skincare and many of them follow a very strict, ten-step regime every single day. The result is that the ladies of Korea are renowned for their beautiful, clear, dewy complexion. You may not want to go as far as a strict ten-step regime, but there is a certainly a lot we can learn from the Korean beauty techniques. So, here are ten of the best Korean beauty tips that will help you achieve healthy looking and glowing skin.

Drink Ginseng Tea

Ginseng has been an important ingredient in Korean beauty treatment for some time. It is used topically in many different skin care products in Korea and Ginseng is also used in cooking and it is drunk in tea. Ginseng is said to be very good at fighting the signs ageing because it contains loads of antioxidants, and it is also very good for flushing toxins out of the body.

Exfoliating

Exfoliating is another important part of  Korean Girls regular beauty routine. When you exfoliate the skin, it removes the dead skin cells and lets the younger, cleaner looking cells show through. It's not something that we would suggest that you do every day, though, because it will leave you with red skin.

Slap Your Face!

You might think that this sounds like strange advice, but it's really popular in Korea. Slapping your face after you have finished the rest of your skincare regime increases the blood circulation and it keeps the muscles firm. It has the same effect that a face massage des, which is another regular skin care technique that Korean women regularly use.

Tones

Toner has become quite a common feature in western skin care regimes and it is designed to be used after you have cleansed your skin. In Korean, the toner is used as the preparation for the remaining steps of the skincare regime. A toner gives the skin an initial boost of hydration that makes it easier for other products to be absorbed. It's never, however, used as a cleanser, which is the way that some people in the west tend to use a toner.

Rise Water

As you can see, the Korean certainly do love their lotions, but they also like to keep things natural when they can as well, and that's why many Korean girls use simple rice water for their skin toner. Rice water is simply the milky water that you get when you soak rice in water for ten minutes, but it is said to be a very effective lotion for slowing the signs of ageing and for moisturising the skin.
