press, and chipmunk cheek squeeze is the secrets of their sharp jawline and

3. The rule of Tap the product
The tap-tap technique is
very common for blending the foundation, but for Koreans, it’s the secret to
absorb the skincare product completely into the skin. The product absorbs in
the skin with more effectiveness by tapping instead of rubbing. The tapping
increases the blood flow on the face that makes the skin super young.
4. Two in one game of sleep with a mask on
Its everyone’s wish that
his skin gets healed and looks young overnight. So Koreans take a step ahead
for this wish and use the night masks while sleeping. During sleep, it’s the
time when glands secrete the growth hormones for muscle development. The cells
are also healed and get recovered during sleep. The night masks enhance these
processes and become cherry on top of flawless glass skin.
5. Ancient secret diet
Koreans emphasize what
they are taking in and their eating lifestyle is also the secret of their
anti-aging and flawless skin. From the ancient times, they have been eating
kimchi (the fermented cabbage), fish skin and taking the ginseng and roasted
barley tea. These all are enriched with collagen and antioxidants that in real
enhance the skin elasticity. For dessert, they never go for cakes and
sugar-based stuff and prefer to eat the fruits especially apples, pears, and
watermelons. One more tip is they take nothing too salty after 8 pm to avoid
the puffiness due to water retention.
6. Sunscreen and parasols
UV rays are one of the
prime reasons for skin aging. More exposure to the sun causes the skin thinner
because of less production of collagen. Koreans use sunscreen and parasols and
make sure that not a single cell can be exposed to the sun while going outside
to protect their skin’s elastic fiber and collagen. It’s the secret warrior of
Koreans against the Sun.
7. Korean beauty products
Koreans prefer the
skincare beauty products that are based on natural products like Honey, yuzu,
bamboo, tremella mushroom, propolis, cactus enriched with vitamin C, B12, E, D.
For makeup they use the technique of blurring for full coverage to avoid
looking heavy. They only prefer that lip colors and products like lip tint and
lip oil, that pop their own natural lip color and it’s their secret to looking
super young.
