Less is not always more when it comes to skincare. Find out the secret to a glowing complexion, the Korean way.
It’s no secret that we all want perfect skin. How we set about to achieve it is an entirely different story though. While some of us have strict diets and elaborate routines, others are more the wash-and-go type. And as we’re still trying to figure out what works for us, South Koreans have already mastered the art of blemish-free skin. Venture into Seoul and you’ll be hard pressed to find a Korean woman who doesn’t have incredibly flawless skin. If you assume this is down to good genes, you’re entirely wrong. Koreans actually work diligently to achieve this and take a completely different approach to skincare than the rest of the world. This is known as the 10-step Korean skin care routine.
If the idea of doing anything more than the usual 3 steps has already sent you into panic mode, fear not. While the 10 steps might seem like a process that would take up your whole morning and evening, it actually only takes about 15 minutes, and leaves your skin glowing, healthy and supple. The routine basically boils down to cleansing, exfoliating, treating, intensely moisturising and applying plenty of SPF during the day.
