K-Beauty Tricks And Hacks To Add In Your Skincare Routine For Instant Results

Sheet masks, double cleansing, exfoliating – Korean beauty regime is a gift that keeps on giving. Over the past few years, Korean beauty has gained momentum in the Indian beauty market. While there are tons of products now available at your disposal, there are still some secrets and hacks that people are unaware of. In case you are a beauty enthusiast and missing out on the K beauty philosophies and secrets, we have got you covered. Here are a few tricks and hacks that you can incorporate in your daily routine for instant results.

Double Cleanse

While most of us include cleansing in our PM routine, you can tweak it a bit by adapting this Korean secret. Instead of regular cleansing, double cleanse all the way. The double cleanse is a cornerstone of a classic Korean beauty routine. The technique involves washing your face twice: First with an oil-based cleanser (to remove sunscreen and makeup), then with a water-based cleanser (to help get rid of impurities like dirt and excess oil). Try it with a hydrating, non-comedogenic oil cleanser for best results.

Facial Massage Techniques: Gua Sha And More

Don’t underestimate the power of a facial massage to stimulate circulation and promote lymphatic drainage. Use your fingertips to perform gentle upward and outward strokes. Start from the centre of your face and working your way outwards. You can also incorporate a facial roller or gua sha tool for added benefits. This helps in sculpting the face better and defines facial contours while enhancing product absorption.

Hydrating Using Hyaluronic Acid

A skincare superhero, Hyaluronic acid, is known for its ability to attract and retain moisture. This further results in plump and hydrated skin. Make sure you incorporate a hyaluronic acid serum into your daily routine to replenish moisture levels and maintain a healthy skin barrier. Apply a few drops on damp skin and follow up with your favourite moisturiser.

Always Remove Your Makeup

No beauty buff will ever fall asleep with their makeup on and there is a reason for that: Sleeping with products on your face can be extremely harmful for your skin. So before you hit that pillow, remove your makeup with a double cleanser. If you are feeling less motivated, give your face a quick wipe down with micellar water and just apply a moisturizer.

Add Rice Water To Your Routine

Whenever you visit a Korean store, you will see a lot of products containing rice water or rice extract. This is a very popular ingredient in Asia, and once you read up on the benefits, you will know why. You can incorporate this ingredient into your routine with products or you can make your own rice water and use it as a toner before you apply any other product.
