The K-Beauty skincare trend in Indonesia has been booming since a few years ago. This is because many Indonesian women want to have Korean girl beauty with smooth, soft, and non-porous skin that is so charming. Beautiful skin does not have to be white, we must take care of our skin to keep it healthy with of course there is struggle and use safe products. In Korea, it is said that most Korean girls have to go through 10 steps of beauty care every day.

Maybe you who don’t have much time or are too tired at night to do the steps will find it difficult. But don’t worry, you can shorten these steps to three basic skincare steps to still have beautiful and healthy facial skin.

 

1. Double Cleansing

The first step in Korean skincare routine is double-cleansing. This facial cleansing method involves two skincare products, namely oil/balm-based cleanser and facial foam. Oil cleanser is the first product that should be used to ‘carry out’ makeup and other oil-based impurities, such as sunscreen, sebum, and pollution. However, before applying the oil cleanser, to avoid sore eyes, you can remove eye and lip makeup using micellar water.

The use of an oil cleanser can be done in the morning and at night. You just gently massage your face until all the dirt is lifted, then rinse with water to emulsify the oil. Make sure your face is dry when you apply the oil cleanser. Another option for an oil cleanser is a cleansing balm. Both of these products have the power to clean the face thoroughly. The followed cleanser is facial foam that washes away any trace of oil.

The extract tip is you can use gentle alcohol-free cleanser that does not dry out your skin.

2. Essence

The next basic skincare among Korean beauty products is essence. Essence is the key to keep your skin supple and moisturized all day long. Essence also functions as an anti-aging and improves skin tone. The application of essence is usually poured directly onto the palm of the hand, then gently patted on the face so that the product can be absorbed.

3. Sunscreen

Most Korean women will not leave the house before applying sunscreen. Whether they are active indoors or outdoors, for them sunscreen is very important to use every day. Using sunscreen can function as a natural anti-aging product on the face. Protect your skin from UVA and UVB rays which have harmful effects on the face.

The more SPF contained, the better it will be to protect the skin. During the day, you can reapply again so that the protection remains maximum.
