Korean Skin Regimen! Part 2!

Hello to all of my amazing friends and followers,

As I previously promised I have put together a step by step kin regimen that is behind the flawless Korean Woman's skin. 


Step 1: Cleansing oil
This step is meant to mainly remove make up and and take the dirt off that has accumulated during the day. It is gentle yet very effective. The oily part of the cleanser allows for an easier removal of all types of make up from regular ones to water proof ones. 

Step 2: Foaming Cleanser
This step is more of a traditional western cleansing that we are used to. We tend to like that foaming soapy feeling and we are under the perception that it works better. This step can target a deeper pore cleansing which is essential to prevent breakouts and dirt accumulation in the pore which may lead to pores looking larger and skin looking unrefined. 

Step 3: Toner 
When we hear toner in the western world, we immediately think something that cleans the skin more and strips moisture and has astringent powers. For those of you who don't know the meaning of ASTRINGENT, its main purpose is to shrink the pores and give skin a more smooth appearance. A typical toner in the Korean woman's regimen basically means to replace the moisture that had been stripped during the cleansing steps.
I personally use rose water for this step. Rose water really works wonders for the body. After cleansing I spray my face with a ton of rose water and wipe it off with a cotton ball which further cleanses my face and adds a ton of moisture to my skin. In addition, rose water has a powerful calming and soothing effect on the skin. 

Products
From this step forward they usually start applying all of the skin care product that target each person's needs. one need focus on getting rid of acne and the other needs a more anti aging focused product. 

Step 1: Serum
As you guys already know my favorite serum is the Pevonia that I posted previously.

Step 2: Eye cream
This is something that e are also used to in the western world which is intended to add a ton of moisture as well as target puffs and fine lines.

Step 3: Spot treatment
Treating spots could mean, treating acne or treating fine lines. Whatever it may be that you need to secifically target, this is the time to apply.

Step 4: Emulsion
Korean women tend to apply an emulsion before applying the actually cream.

Step 5: Cream
Step 6: SUN SCREEN SUN SCREEN 
This step is very essential in every skin care regimen. Everyone should apply sunscreen to the face, neck, and hands. Do not forget your hands because the older you get the hands are what gives your age away regardless of what a flawless face you have. 

Happy Friday!
