Whether it’s a makeup routine or a skincare routine, K-beauty has gained huge popularity in recent years, and women across the world have become obsessed with K-beauty trends. Korean women have envious skin, and they always prioritize their skincare routine first and follow all the skincare steps religiously, which is why they don’t usually need makeup in order to make their skin look clear and flawless. They believe in improving the quality of the skin rather than adding layers of makeup to the face. Their simple and easy approach is what makes Korean skincare trends so sought-after.
While it’s always great to have your makeup by your side that helps to achieve flawless and glowing skin in no time, making your skin look naturally like this is a completely different feeling, and some women do everything in their power to achieve such beautiful skin but fail due to some reasons. Who doesn’t want their skin to look radiant and youthful? We are sure everyone does, and it’s not really too hard to achieve glowing skin, all it needs is some determination, dedication, and the right skincare steps, and there will be nothing stopping you from achieving the skin of your dreams. To make things easier for you, we have listed some Korean skincare trends that will help you achieve glowing skin.
Including Centella Asiatica in the skincare routine
One of the many things that make K-beauty different from others is their ingredients; Korean women are very particular about the ingredients they use in their skincare routine. They don’t stop at just one skincare ingredient, with constant innovations; they keep coming up with the ingredients that deliver effective and desirable results. Rice water and snail mucin are two very popular glow-inducing skincare ingredients, and these two rose to popularity because of K-beauty only. Another ingredient that is currently making headlines is Centella Asiatica, which is a potent antioxidant. This ingredient is best known for its radiance-boosting properties, and it especially works well for people with dry, acne-prone, or sensitive skin.
Cream skin
Just like a minimal makeup routine, a minimal skincare trend is also a thing, and this trend results in creamy, soft skin. The steps are pretty much the same, but you will need to swap your cleanser with cleansing or micellar water. And once you are done using that, you will immediately need to apply a lightweight, watery face lotion on your face. After that, follow it with your usual skincare products- serum, moisturizer, SPF, and makeup, just make sure to let the lotion get absorbed into the skin properly before moving on to the next step. This skincare trend helps you achieve intensely hydrated skin that remains super soft and creamy for a longer duration.
Jelly skin
What if we told you that you can achieve jelly skin with the help of a single skincare product only? Sounds unbelievable right? But this Korean skincare trend might make you think otherwise. The product in question is a toner, it single-handedly can help you achieve jelly skin, however, it needs to be used correctly in order to achieve the desired results. Instead of waiting for your skin to dry after cleansing it, you should apply toner on your face within 10 seconds of washing your face while your skin is still damp. This trend not only helps to close your pores and seal in moisture but also improves the skin’s elasticity and maintains plumpness, which in turn, leads to jelly skin.
Strengthened skin’s lipid barrier
One of the best ways to improve and strengthen your skin’s lipid barrier is by keeping it intensely hydrated and moisturized, which in turn, keeps your skin protected from environmental aggressors like pollution and UV rays. Certain ingredients like AHAs, ceramides, ginger, vitamin C, etc. are highly trending at the moment, and they definitely deserve a permanent spot in your skincare routine.
