From Jamsu Ice Water Dip To 10 Second Rule, 6 Korean Skincare Hacks For Glowing Skin
Ace your skincare game!
A few years ago, I was someone who’d wash their face and apply some moisturiser in the name of skincare. Something as simple as the CTM skincare routine was beyond my understanding. Fast forward to a few years later, I’ve got an elaborate 10-step Korean skincare routine with ingredients like snail mucin and birch juice that a 16-year-old me did not even know of. But just an elaborate skincare routine isn’t enough to achieve glowing skin like those K-drama stars. And that’s something I learnt from being a true blue beauty girl. If you want too want a glass skin that looks poreless and flawless, you might want to bookmark these Korean skincare hacks.
Korean Skincare Hacks For Healthy Skin
1. The Jamsu ice water dip was aimed at making your makeup transfer-proof and long-lasting, this hack can also work wonders for your skin. The hack entails dipping your face full of makeup in a bowl of ice water but you can also do this before you do your makeup in order to soothe your skin and reduce puffiness.

2. Use a coarse washcloth or hand towel and dip it in some warm water. Now, use the cloth to gently exfoliate your skin in upward circular motions. This can also reduce wrinkles and fine lines. But be extremely gentle or rather avoid this hack if you have acne-prone skin. The washcloth can spread the bacteria all over your face and worsen your acne if you already have it.
3. Instead of rubbing your skincare product on your face, lightly slap it on your face. This prevents product wastage as none of it is getting absorbed in your hands or smearing away. It also improves the blood flow and allows the product to get absorbed into the skin properly. Moreover, slapping products on your face can also stimulate collagen and make your skin youthful.
4. Follow the air-day + 10-second skincare rule. This means that you need to stop drying your skin with a towel after washing your face with a cleanse. Let your face air dry but apply your toner within 10 seconds of washing your face followed by the other products while your skin is still moist.
5. Facial exercise is the best way to keep your skin healthy and glowing. Apart from using face rollers and massagers to keep your skin looking youthful, the ultimate Korean skincare hack is turning to facial exercise to prevent wrinkles and sagging skin. Say the vowels out loud with exaggerated expressions to stretch your lips and skin as much as possible.
6. Steam is another Korean skincare hack that we all need to include in our skincare regime. Don’t just take steam when you’re sick, do it regularly to open up your clogged pores and cleanse your skin for a soft and supple look.
