Just lately I went to essentially the most superb facialist in Austin named Jamie. She owns Imaje Pores and skin Ritual and she or he gave me an unbelievable buccal therapeutic massage, lymphatic drainage therapeutic massage, salmon semen facial, and dropped some main methods of the commerce with regards to Korean skincare. To say I’m obsessive about the routine and merchandise she gave me is an understatement. I’m noticing such a change in my pores and skin. However first, let’s dive deeper.
What’s Korean Skincare:
The entire idea of Korean skincare lies in respecting your pores and skin, taking excessive care of it, and utilizing merchandise and practices for the lengthy haul. It focuses on prevention and safety, which we’re all about. It’s true that Korean skincare can contain many steps (even 12) however it doesn’t should. The primary steps are: cleanse, hydrate, nourish, defend. {through}
The ‘glass pores and skin’ look is all the fad proper now and after seeing Jamie and following the routine she gave me, I’m right here to let you know my pores and skin is clearer, extra vibrant and positively trying glassy.
On this publish I wish to break down Jamie’s precise directions and share all of the Korean skincare merchandise I’ve been utilizing.
My Korean Skincare Routine:
Double Cleanse:
Naked Magnificence Cleaning Oil (PM solely)
(30 sec – 1min) Apply oil cleanser to dry face. Work oil throughout face. Use light round motions and give attention to any areas of congestion or heavy make-up.
(30 sec) Slowly add water to emulsify the oil, it’s going to flip right into a white milky consistency. Ensure that to completely emulsify and eventually rinse clear
Should you’re new to double cleaning we have now all of the detailed directions in this publish for you. Bear in mind to make use of your child wash cloths to maintain your pores and skin free from any gross reside or micro organism out of your regular physique towels.
Different cleaning oils/balms I like: Elemis & Residing Libations. Additionally, LOVE HOP Step 1.
Cleanse:
(30 sec – 1 min) Apply second cleanser to dried face, a few dime dimension. Unfold totally throughout face and neck. Add water to lather. Completely cleanse and rinse clear.
You are able to do this within the AM too, which I just lately acquired in bother for ‘not’ doing by Staci Christie. Extra on that right here.
For AM cleaning, rinse face with heat water or use a clear gentle face towel with heat water. Jamie makes use of clear pores and skin membership towels for this.
Exfoliate:
Le Mieux Excellent Renewal Pads. (PM solely) – Dump total bottle into pad container. Let pads absorb exfoliant fully.
2-3 instances every week after cleaning, swipe exfoliation pad all through face. These pads are very skinny so make sure you’re solely utilizing 1 at a time. I additionally love Dr. Dennis Gross peel pads.
Prep:
Melavita-C Toner (AM + PM)
Apply a beneficiant handful and press into face. Use as a lot as your pores and skin desires to soak up. Permit face to soak up till nearly fully dry, when pores and skin remains to be cheesy, apply serums.
Deal with:
Melavita -C (AM) / Energy PEP (PM)
Use 1 dropper full and apply to face and neck and décolletage. Permit face to soak up till nearly fully dry, when pores and skin is cheesy apply subsequent step.
Defend:
Melavita-C Lotion (3-5 pumps)
Apply moisturizer to lock every thing in. Observe with SPF for daytime.
SPF: Fantastic thing about Joseon
Apply 2-3 fingers price for face/neck/decolletage. Reapply each 2-4 hours relying on solar publicity.
SPF: Klavuu
Whereas this does have some SPF it’s not sufficient as a standalone SPF choice. This can be a pores and skin finisher or make-up primer. Use solely 1-1.5 pumps. Dab onto pores and skin and buff gently into pores and skin. It doesn’t absolutely cancel redness however it creates a extra rosy, even tone with it.
I prefer to therapeutic massage my face with TSC Face Massager earlier than I apply SPF or make-up. And once you use Caffeinated SPF, which is nearly on a regular basis, you may skip the make-up as a result of it offers you this good glowy tint.
There you will have it, my newest Korean skincare routine. Should you’re in Austin and in want of among the finest facials you’ve ever had, take a look at Imaje and guide with Jamie. All of the merchandise she advocate for me are 10/10 (for me- do your individual analysis).
