Just lately I went to probably the most superb facialist in Austin named Jamie. She owns Imaje Pores and skin Ritual and he or she gave me an unbelievable buccal therapeutic massage, lymphatic drainage therapeutic massage, salmon semen facial, and dropped some main methods of the commerce in the case of 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) but it surely doesn’t must. The primary steps are: cleanse, hydrate, nourish, shield. {by way of}

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 inform you my pores and skin is clearer, extra vibrant and undoubtedly wanting glassy.

On this put up 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 mild round motions and concentrate on any areas of congestion or heavy make-up. 

(30 sec) Slowly add water to emulsify the oil, it is going to flip right into a white milky consistency. Be certain to totally emulsify and eventually rinse clear

If you happen to’re new to double cleaning we’ve got all of the detailed directions in this put up for you. Keep 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:

HYDRA Exosome Cleanser (PM)

(30 sec – 1 min) Apply second cleanser to dried face, a couple of dime dimension. Unfold completely throughout face and neck. Add water to lather. Totally cleanse and rinse clear. 

You are able to do this within the AM too, which I lately obtained 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 smooth face towel with heat water. Jamie makes use of clear pores and skin membership towels for this.

Exfoliate:

Le Mieux Good Renewal Pads. (PM solely) – Dump whole bottle into pad container. Let pads take in exfoliant utterly.

2-3 instances per week after cleaning, swipe exfoliation pad all through face. These pads are very skinny so make certain 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. Enable face to soak up till virtually utterly 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. Enable face to soak up till virtually utterly dry, when pores and skin is cheesy apply subsequent step.

Shield: 

Melavita-C Lotion (3-5 pumps) 

Apply moisturizer to lock the whole lot in. Comply with 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 possibility. 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 totally cancel redness but it surely creates a extra rosy, even tone with it.

I wish 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’ll be able to skip the make-up as a result of it offers you this good glowy tint.

There you’ve gotten it, my newest Korean skincare routine. If you happen to’re in Austin and in want of the most effective 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). And in the event you ‘re in want of another choices, make certain positive to take a look at my newest skincare routine which I nonetheless do on a regular basis too.
