Why Your Skin Will Love A K-Beauty Regimen

December 16, 2020

By now you’ve heard all the buzz about Korean beauty or K-Beauty for short. Have you tried it? Are you still confused about what K-beauty even is?

If you are, allow us to help clear things up, literally.

K-beauty is all about beauty products that originate in Korea. Korean skincare encompasses a slow and gentle philosophy at its core. The idea behind K-beauty is to nurture your skin back to health over time and maintain this with a consistent routine so you can yield long-lasting results. 

When it comes to your skin, quick fixes can lead to damage. So can one size fits all approaches to beauty. That’s why you may have heard that K-beauty involves a 10-step routine. The big takeaway from Korean skincare is designing a routine that’s unique to your skin. Then, being consistent and patient to reveal your best skin ever.

With individual ampoules, serums, and essences, K-beauty gives you the chance to really customize your routine to get the best results from the products you’re using on your skin. The ingredients are simple and often taken directly from nature, to gently nourish your skin without harsh chemicals that cause more damage than good. 

What Makes K-Beauty Different?

What makes K-beauty so different from any other skin care regimen out there? Firstly, it was one of the few routines to introduce the world to separating layers of skincare products. This makes your routine easily customizable to your skin’s needs by identifying the single ingredients that work with or against your skin. 

While there are amazing products out there that do double or even triple duty, it can be very beneficial for you to separate the steps and get to know which ingredients work for your skin and which don’t. Once you’ve isolated your favorite skincare ingredients and the ones that irritate your skin, you can move towards multi-use products if you choose.

The focus on hydration also sets K-beauty apart from other known beauty regimens. Depending on what your skin’s currently going through, you have the ability to layer on essences to deeply nourish and hydrate your skin. 

Finally, K-beauty also gave rise to the now popular sheet mask industry. Sheet masks are a great way to give your skin an instant glow with deep hydration and ingredients meant to repair your skin. They are also a good way to try new ingredients since sheet masks are relatively inexpensive. 

Nourishing Korean Skincare Trends

Popular K-Beauty trends include glass skin, dewy honey skin, and the dumpling skin effect. Each of these trends leads to smooth luminous skin that’s either reflective or soft and dewy. Achieving these results comes from using unconventional ingredients like snail slime and being consistent in your routine. 

You may have heard that K-Beauty relies on a 10-step process to achieve these amazing results. 

Don’t be deterred by the seemingly cumbersome process, you won’t need every step every time you go through your face routine. Once you know what ingredients your face loves and how to tell what your face needs right now, it literally takes just a few minutes from cleansing to sealing it all in. 

Think of it as your personal me time. It’s a loving act of self-care to nourish your skin, giving it the hydration and treatments it needs to reveal healthy skin so you can put your best face forward. 

That’s why you will grow to love everything K-Beauty. Because your skin will love the time you put into nourishing it each day.
