Looking at some Asian women, you might be surprised at the discrepancy between the condition of their skin and their age. Korean and Japanese ways of taking care of beauty have been gaining more and more recognition in the Western world, including Poland, for some time. The whole idea of taking care of yourself comes down to thorough make-up removal and skin cleansing, as well as proper preparation of the skin to accept the cosmetics applied to the skin.
The first stage of Asian care is thorough removal of make-up, impurities and sebum. It is recommended to use special oils for this purpose, which gently and thoroughly cleanse the skin of fat and dirt, and thanks to their mild form, do not irritate our skin. Asian women often use BB creams in place of regular foundations, which contain smoothing silicones. Therefore, oils will be perfect for removing make-up.
Two-stage skin cleansing
The oil is evenly distributed on the face, then you should perform a gentle skin massage with circular movements, and finally, wet your hands with water and massage your face again. At the end, wash off the cosmetic with cool water. The next step is to apply a light foam that will remove makeup residue from the face. In Asian care, especially Korean, it is very important to perfectly prepare the skin for applying subsequent cosmetics. Light washing foams prevent the formation of blackheads and “cleanse” what the oil could not cope with.
Exfoliation of the epidermis
In addition to cleansing the face in the evening, it is also important to perform a peeling. It is best to do it every 3-4 days, using relatively delicate, non-irritating cosmetics. You can also make a homemade face scrub, for example, a combination of coffee grounds, cinnamon and olive oil, or natural yogurt, finely chopped almonds and a teaspoon of honey. Peeling is very important, because by exfoliating the epidermis, we regularly “pull” younger cells out, and the skin that is neglected in this respect becomes earthy, gray and is prone to the appearance of blackheads and pimples.
Protecting the skin from the sun
Asian women know perfectly well that avoiding sunlight is one of the most effective ways to keep your skin wrinkle-free for many years. Hence the often seen umbrellas and wide-brimmed hats that many women wear on sunny days. That is why it is worth choosing a high sunscreen every day, which not only protects against burns, but also blocks the impact of UVA waves penetrating deep into our skin and often causing irreversible damage. Use it all year round. The sun destroys the collagen and elastin present in the skin, which are the basis for keeping the skin without wrinkles and furrows for longer.
