Korean Skincare Tips

Many people envy the flawless skin of Korean women, and that glowing complexion does not come easily. Here are tips released from some of Korea's best dermatologists and cosmetologists.

Your hands are one of the best tools.
When your eyes are tired and sagging downwards, press your palms against your eye sockets and apply a gentle pressure.This will lift the eye area to make you seem more awake.


Use upward and outward motions while washing your face.
While you are washing your face, don't use vertical motions, as this will loosen facial muscles and cause the skin to sag. Instead use upward and outward motions.


Prevent aging prematurely.
You continue to age your whole life, so it is never too early to use anti-aging products and taking precautions against UV rays from the sun. It is vital you never go out into the sun without protection. Be sure to use foundation with SPF 20+ , or apply sunblock before hand. Many Korean BB creams also provide sun protection.


Embrace whitening products.
Korean women use whitening products to combat skin pigmentation problems due to hormone imbalance.
