Korean skincare has taken over the world of beauty but it can be quite expensive at times. Here is a Korean skincare routine you can follow at home:
Oil cleanser
Koreans follow the double cleansing method. You can use sweet almond oil or jojoba oil to cleanse your face of oil-based impurities and also to remove makeup.
Skin Brightening Face Pack
Liquorice root extract (Mulethi) is a common ingredient in Korean skin care. Brighten up your skin with a mulethi, milk and potato juice face pack.
Rice Toner
Rice is another important ingredient of Korean beauty rituals. All you need is the milky white residue left after soaking rice. Use it only three times a week to avoid dryness.
DIY Sheet Mask
Locking hydration is essential in Korean skincare. Use thick cotton tissue and make cuts for the eyes and mouth. Next, add some aloe vera gel into steeped green tea to soak your mask into.
Sunscreen
A non-negotiable step in Korean skin care is sun protection. Always apply sunscreen before you step out of the house and reapply if needed. It is also important to use physical sunscreen like an umbrella or a scarf.
Conclusion
Always do a patch test before trying out any of these home remedies. Additionally, you can also consult a dermatologist in case of any skin problems and seek a personalised treatment.
