Are you fascinated by this oriental beauty ritual but don't know where to start? Do you know a little about K-Beauty, but are still afraid of making mistakes? Don’t worry… you’re not alone! Many have the same concern! That’s why we at 50 ml have decided to share with our Beauty Lover Community everything there is to know about face exfoliation done “the Korean way”: let’s discover together what exactly a Korean exfoliant for face do for our skin and how to properly perform Step 3 of the most beloved Beauty Routine ever! Ready? Let’s dive right into the Korean Skincare!
Let's start with a fundamental premise: both local and Korean face exfoliants do the same thing… exfoliate! This means they remove dead cells from the skin's surface. The difference lies in the fact that Korean cosmetic formulas (all of them: exfoliants, cleansers, or toners!) are particularly advanced, as interest in skincare has been established in South Korea for years, even centuries! It's clear that Koreans have authority in this field, from which we can only learn. Korean face exfoliants are numerous and varied, characterized by many innovative natural ingredients, designed for specific skin issues. Here's how they differ from each other and how they act differently on our face!
Let’s start with the basics: this step is performed right after the first two, and the , which together make up the double cleansing and aim to clean the face from makeup, sweat, smog, and any other external residue. Step 3, however, aims to deeply remove dead skin cells remaining on the epidermis, preparing it to absorb all the other cosmetics (Korean, of course!) that will be used during the subsequent steps. Let’s go into detail: how often should you exfoliate your face?
The technique for using Korean exfoliants depends on the form the cosmetic takes. Most often, Korean face exfoliants are light creams or liquid cosmetics like toners. Let's look at the recommended application methods for these cases.
Do you feel like you’ve applied too little product? Most likely, it’s a false impression: we are mistakenly used to using much more product than we actually need. That’s why today we invite you to discover the minimalist Korean attitude, which prefers using a small amount of each cosmetic… it’s the case to say: Less Is More! After application, wait for your skin to properly absorb the cosmetic (it’s just a matter of seconds, hang in there!), then move on to the next step of the K Routine, ! To conclude this "tutorial" on step 3, we want to share our skincare mantra with you: Always Listen to Your Skin! For example, if you notice undesired reactions on your skin, you’re probably doing something wrong, or your skin does not tolerate an ingredient you used well. If you suspect an allergy, do a test on a less sensitive area, such as the crook of your arm, before applying the cosmetic to your face. In case of undesirable effects, take a break for a few months and eventually try again with a different and gentler cosmetic. If you choose the right exfoliant for you and correctly (and consistently) practice the Korean Skincare Routine, you’ll see that – thanks to the third step – imperfections like pimples, blackheads, and sebaceous filaments will gradually be eliminated, and your skin will glow like never before!
