Achieving youthful skin is not just about nighttime skin care. It is equally important to focus on your morning routine. Here are his six tips for creating the perfect Korean morning skin care routine.
1. Moisturize your skin with toner and cotton pad. If you don’t want to invest in pre-packaged toner pads, you can easily make your own toner pads. Simply take your favorite toner, dampen a few thin cotton pads, and place it on your cheeks and forehead to help your makeup adhere. This is something fellow K-beauty influencer Ava Lee does all the time!
2. It may take some getting used to, but just wash your face with cold water in the morning to prevent your skin from peeling. This is advice from Eva’s mother. If you aspire to youthful skin like her, be sure to try this tip.
3. Brighten up your day with plenty of vitamin C. Vitamin C is known to reduce redness and even out skin tone. Vitamin C is a great product to apply in the morning. If you’re looking for something good to try, I have a few recommendations, including Goodal’s Vitamin C Serum and Jumiso.
4. Just because you’re in a hurry doesn’t mean it’s best to apply all the products at once without letting them dry. It may take an extra 5 minutes in the morning, but allowing each skin care layer enough time to absorb into your skin is key to a smooth, flawless makeup look.
5. Of course, as everyone says, the earlier you start applying sunscreen, the better it is for your skin. Don’t forget to apply sunscreen before going out to maintain a healthy and youthful glow. Also, don’t forget to reapply your sunscreen throughout the day for maximum ongoing protection.
6. The best skin care comes from within. A healthy diet can completely change the appearance of your skin. Many Koreans actually drink a cup of barley tea in the morning to achieve glowing skin from within. If you brew it the day before and store it in the refrigerator, you’ll have a refreshing barley tea that moisturizes your skin the next morning.
Of course, everyone’s skin is different, but try these next morning skin care tips.
