In order to have a healthy face and a toned body, Korean women strictly monitor their diet: they often consume cereals, vegetables and fruits. Sweet and flour products are excluded, they are practically not on the shelves in Korea. Any meat is welcome, but it is better if it is steamed. Also, Korean women drink a lot of pure non-carbonated and unsweetened water.

In Korea, every home and sometimes office has a humidifier. Dry air is harmful to the skin. Dehydration leads to flaking and deep wrinkles on the face, neck and arms.

Consistent application of care products

In the arsenal of many Korean girls there are about 17 products that she regularly uses: serums, emulsions, oils and much more. It seems that if all this is applied to the face, the skin will be overloaded, but this can be avoided by following a simple sequence. Products with a light texture are applied first, which are quickly absorbed into the skin. Then the products are dense in consistency. A thick cream or emulsion is applied last. Each layer is very thin and barely visible.

Often the cause of wrinkles is photoaging – exposure to ultraviolet rays on the skin. The epidermis thickens, it becomes dry and rough, age spots and moles appear on it.

But this habit is based on beauty standards that appeared in this country in ancient times. During the reign of emperors, only rich people could afford fair skin, skin lightening procedures were always expensive. It has become much easier for modern girls, because all cosmetics in Korea are SPF-protected, and you can whiten your skin in any beauty salon.

Masks give the most noticeable effect on the skin, and, of course, Korean women could not miss this fact. But we went a little further, and this is how fabric masks appeared. They differ from ordinary ones in that they help the skin to get maximum contact with the ingredients that the mask is impregnated with. The fabric does not allow all useful substances to evaporate, and due to this, it acts more efficiently.
