We all want healthy, glowing skin, but with so many different products and routines out there, it can be overwhelming to start. That's why we've put together this guide to help simplify your skin care routine and give you the tools you need to achieve your best skin yet.
Why you should look for skin care tips
Taking care of your skin is important not only for its appearance but also for its overall health. Our skin is the largest organ in our body and acts as a protective barrier against external elements. Neglecting your skin can lead to various issues such as acne, dryness, and premature aging.
By incorporating good skin care habits and following essential skin care tips, you can improve the appearance of your skin and maintain its health.
Our glowing skincare tips
1. Cleanse your face twice a day to remove dirt and oil
Cleansing your face twice a day is a non-negotiable step in any skincare routine. In the morning, wash with a gentle cleanser to cleanse off the dirt that has accumulated overnight. In the evening, it is advised to double cleanse to thoroughly wash off the day.
Double cleansing involves a first cleanse with a balm or oil cleanser to remove makeup and SPF. Afterwards, you can wash off with a water-based cleanser.
We recommend our Hit Refresh Gel Cleanser for your daily cleanser. This lightweight cleanser sweeps away impurities without stripping your skin of its natural moisture barrier. Formulated with gentle papaya enzyme, restorative adenosine, and seven different forms of hyaluronic acid, Hit Refresh has what it takes to exfoliate, hydrate, and smooth your skin every day.
2. Use a toner to balance your skin's pH levels
Cleansing your face can disrupt your skin's natural pH balance which can lead to dryness, irritation, and other skin issues. That's where toner comes in - it helps to restore your skin's natural pH balance and allows your skin to better absorb the rest of your skincare products.
3. Apply sunscreen every day to protect your skin from UV rays
Applying sunscreen every day is a must! Exposure to UV rays is one of the leading causes of premature aging, dark spots, and even skin cancer. So, make sure you're using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 in your daily skincare routine.
4. Moisturize daily to keep your skin hydrated
Our skin needs moisture to look plump, healthy, and radiant, and when we don't give it enough hydration, it can become dry, flaky, and dull-looking. By using a moisturizer every day, you're providing your skin with the hydration it needs and creating a protective barrier that keeps out harmful pollutants and other environmental stressors.
Our Glow Theory Gel Moisturizer is a good option for all skin types. Formulated in Japan, this innovative gel moisturizer is formulated with skin-replenishing ceramides, amino acids, and hyaluronic acid for long-lasting hydration. Glow Theory has a featherlight gel texture that effortlessly melts into skin for an instant healthy glow.
If you have dry skin and need more moisture, our Finishing Touch Facial Oil is the option for you. Formulated in Korea, this lightweight, antioxidant-rich facial oil combines age-erasing powerhouse oils like cranberry seed, meadowfoam seed, and camellia seed with moisture-locking jojoba and argan oil. The oil absorbs quickly and can be easily mixed in with your moisturizer.
5. Use products formulated for your skin type to avoid irritation.
Different skin types have different needs, and using products that aren't designed for your skin type can lead to irritation, breakouts, and other skin issues. By using products that are formulated for you, you're giving your skin the targeted care it needs to look its best.
6. Exfoliate once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells.
Exfoliating your skin once or twice a week is an essential step in achieving a radiant complexion. Our skin naturally sheds dead skin cells, but sometimes they can accumulate on the surface of our skin, leading to a dull, lackluster appearance.
By using an exfoliator, you're gently removing those dead skin cells, revealing smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin underneath.
Our Instant Edit Skin Exfoliant combines soothing, anti-inflammatory ingredients and potent age-defying acids that will sweep away dead skin. Developed over multiple years by expert chemists at a leading Korean laboratory, this formula leverages complex ratios of prestige ingredients to produce effective yet skin-friendly results for most skin types.
7. Use face masks to treat specific skin concerns.
Face masks are a wonderful addition to any skincare routine as they provide targeted treatment to address specific skin concerns. By using a face mask regularly, you're giving your skin an extra boost of nourishment and care.
8. Avoid touching your face to prevent the spread of bacteria.
As tempting as it may be to touch your face throughout the day, it's actually best to avoid doing so as much as possible. Our hands come into contact with all sorts of bacteria and germs throughout the day, and if we touch our faces, we're transferring those germs onto our skin. This can lead to breakouts, irritation, and even infections.
By keeping your hands away from your face, you're helping to protect your skin from harmful bacteria and keeping it looking healthy and radiant.
9. Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.
Hydration is key to achieving beautiful, glowing skin, and one of the best ways to hydrate your skin from the inside out is by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. When your body is dehydrated, your skin can appear dull, dry, and tired.
10. Get enough sleep to allow your skin to regenerate and repair overnight.
Restorative sleep is an essential part of any beauty routine. When you're sleep-deprived, your body produces more stress hormones, which can lead to inflammation and premature aging of the skin.
Getting enough sleep is very important to reduce inflammation, boost collagen production, and improve skin elasticity. So if you want to bring out your natural beauty, be sure to prioritize your sleep and aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night.
