Korean beauty secrets are like  “The Alchemist”. The treasure was here all along just waiting for the internet to be found. Not only the Hollywood but entire skin care industry is going gaga over it now. From Lady Gaga, and Chrissy Teigen to our own Arya Stark all these beauties are fangirling big time over K-Beauty Regime. However, you may not have time to exercise the elaborate 10-12  Korean skincare routine steps. However, we will explore a 5-step Korean skincare routine for age-defying and glowing skin.

Step-1 Double Cleanse

Double cleansing is the first step of the Korean skincare routine. Double cleanse is based on the saying the more the merrier. Do you really think washing your face once with the cleanser is sufficient to remove the pollutants, impurities, sebum, and oil? Well, Koreans believe first washing with an oil-based cleanser will remove all the impurities and second wash with a water-based cleanser will remove the dirt and sweat. These two steps ensure that your face is ready for the next step after a long day of makeup or exercise.

Step-2 Toner

While some dermatologists and estheticians are totally in favor of skipping this step, At Miracle Beauty Salon has an insider tip. Use a toner that doesn’t have alcohol content. Originally Koreans use toners that hydrate skin with ingredients such as rice water, aloe vera gel, and hyaluronic acid. After double cleansing, soak a cotton pad in toner and gently wipe your skin since the toner removes the impurities which are left unattended by the cleansers. Toners are the unskippable step while cleaning the impurities it also balances the ph level of the skin. So it doesn't strip away the moisture.

Step-3 Serum

Every woman wants to fight a war against common skin foes like fine lines, wrinkles, spots, blemishes, and acne, large pores. Serums are nothing but your deadliest war weapon packed with vitamins and antioxidants that fight against a variety of skin enemies. Ideally, as a beginner, you should use either Vitamin C serum or niacinamide serum to let it suit your skin. However, you may select any of the following serums based on your skin type and the benefits they entail in your skin

1. Vitamin C - To control breakouts and acne and prevent aging signs
2. Niacinamide - To correct uneven skin tone, improve skin textures and treat enlarged pores
3. Salicylic Acid - Absorbs access oil, and promotes deep exfoliation by gently breaking down the skin cells
4. Hyaluronic Acid - moisturizes dry skin, and reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and aging spots.

Step-4 Moisturizer

Your skin needs moisturizer to unlock the benefits of antioxidants and active ingredients in serums. Dermatologists always advise using a moisturizer, regardless of following a Korean skincare routine or not. As it acts as a protective guard for your skin against dehydration, skin flaking, signs of aging, and dark spots. For dry skin or oily skin, the skin care industry is flooded with many inexpensive options to suit your unique skin care needs. Needless to say, moisturizer a day keeps skin enemies at bay.
