This is where we can help; below is a list of our top ten Korean beauty secrets for radiant, healthy-looking skin. Continue reading for more information, whether you're new to K-beauty or want to pick up some new Korean beauty tricks for your everyday regimen.

Do Two Cleanses at Once at Night

The foundation of a traditional Korean beauty regimen is the double cleanse. Using this method, you wash your face twice: once with an oil-based cleanser and again with a water-based one. Try it with a non-stripping water-based cleanser like CeraVe moisturizing Facial Cleanser and a moisturizing, non-comedogenic oil cleanser like Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Botanical Cleansing Oil. 

Before moisturizing, mask

Even if you've never heard of K cosmetic products before, you've probably seen sheet masks before. These pre-made face masks are essential to a traditional Korean skincare routine and usually come in a pouch including a nourishing facial essence and serum. One of the main advantages of sheet masks is their extreme adaptability; you can find one to address almost any skin issue, from dryness to dullness. Apply your preferred sheet mask once or twice a week after cleansing your face, then take a seat and unwind for ten to fifteen minutes. After finishing, remove the mask, moisturize, and enjoy your newly discovered glow.

Consider using a sleeping pack

Sleeping packs are the term for overnight face masks in K-beauty. They usually cover the skin in a thick layer of concentrated, strong moisture and have a cream or gel consistency. When you think your skin might use a little TLC, you can apply a sleeping pack instead of night cream every evening. For a brightening boost, try the Youth to the People Hydrate + Glow Dream Mask, or use the Cocokind Resurfacing Sleep Mask Overnight Treatment to wake up with skin that looks plumper and more even-looking.

Make SPF a priority

As any dermatologist will tell you, wearing sunscreen every day is one of the greatest methods to maintain the healthiest possible appearance and feeling for your skin. Daily suncare is therefore an essential component of the Korean beauty philosophy. Furthermore, modern sunscreens are designed to offer a better user experience than their predecessors, which occasionally feel oily or heavy.

Make the move to the Cushion Foundation

To achieve a flawless Korean makeup look, begin with a cushion foundation. For the desired "your skin but better" look, these products usually feature a dewy finish and light to medium coverage. Many also claim benefits for the skin. For instance, the formula of YSL Le Cushion Encre de Peau contains 78% skincare elements for a feeling of freshness and moisture. 

Test Your Popsicle Pout Skills

Another Korean beauty trend that we can't get enough of is the popsicle pout. This gradient, stained lip style is called after the appearance of your mouth after eating a popsicle, and it's quite easy to achieve. To begin, softly apply concealer or foundation onto your lips' outer corners to obfuscate the vermillion line. Then, for the ideal just-bitten effect, apply a pigmented lip gloss, such as NYX Professional Cosmetics Duck Plump High Pigment Lip Gloss, to the middle of your mouth and press your lips together.

Think about Caramel Blush

If 2023's blush color was hot pink, then this year's color is unquestionably caramel—at least in K-beauty circles. Loved by Korean beauty lovers, this sweet, nutty color warms your skin tone without making you look overly bronzed. Maybelline Fit Me Blush in Buff is a deeper, toastier brown that goes well with darker skin tones, whereas L'Oréal Paris True Match Blush in Subtle Sable W5–6 has pinkish undertones that go well with light complexion. 

Get Your Face Exercises Started

Face yoga is one of our favorite ways to make the most out of our beauty routines. Beauty is self-care. This method, which was inspired by traditional Korean cosmetic procedures like face rolling and gua sha, entails carefully contracting the muscles in your face to help rejuvenate the appearance of your skin. But more significantly, it gives you a chance to take it leisurely. Face yoga has become a nightly ritual for several of our editors because we find that every time we take 10 minutes to appreciate the exercise, we feel more calm and aware. 

Take Out a Spatula for Base Coating

The next time you apply liquid foundation, swap out your sponge for a metal spatula. We promise that using a spatula to apply makeup is a game-changer, even though it may initially appear a little strange. The little metal tool facilitates easy product spreading and even base creation, so you won't need to use as much product. This small adjustment is one of our favorite Korean beauty tricks for creating that flawless-looking glass skin base. 

Consider Fermented Skincare

Not only can fermented ingredients add flair to your dinner, but they're currently a big thing in Korean skincare. Research indicates that fermented nutrients could be more effective than other options due to their faster absorption, which is a solid scientific argument. The key is to select the appropriate formula. Use Youth to the People Kombucha + 10% AHA Power Exfoliant to show a smoother, more even-looking complexion if you are trying to brighten your skin. Meanwhile, we love Benton Fermentation Essence for hydration, which you can use on top of your regular moisturizer.

Always Take Off Your Cosmetics 

There's a reason why you won't find a Korean beauty enthusiast dozing off while wearing their makeup during the day: it can seriously damage your skin. Thus, do a double wash to get rid of your makeup before going to bed, or, if you're not feeling that motivated, just quickly wipe your face with micellar water and then apply moisturizer. We especially love Garnier Cleansing Water All-in-1 Waterproof Makeup Remover because it leaves skin feeling clean and revitalized while gently removing makeup, grime, and other impurities.

Include Rice Water in Your Daily Routine

If you visit any Korean beauty shop, you will probably notice that many of the items there contain rice extract or water. Read up on the benefits and you'll see why it's so popular in Asia. You can use this ingredient in your routine with products like Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner, which features fermented Korean black rice, and SkinCeuticals Hyaluronic Acid Intensifier, which contains purple rice extract. 

Remember Your Neck

K-beauty enthusiasts are aware that skincare products should be used on your neck in addition to your face. Apply moisturizers, sunscreens, serums, essences, and oils down your neck and décolleté. Even sheet masks made expressly to be worn on the chest exist. The LAPCOS Hydra Collagen Chest Mask is now our top pick. Turn it on for fifteen minutes to have the ultimate self-care moment after your Sunday night shower.
