You don’t need a sweetheart to get that “loved and cared-for” glow. Just pay a little extra attention to your skin and it will show in your complexion! Many of the elements practiced in the K-Beauty ritual, like layering products, the power of touch, and even some really cool tools, are both pampering and effective. So in honor of Valentine’s Day, we’re sharing our top 5 ways to show skin some TLC!
- Indulge in a Double-Cleanse: Instead of your usual soap-and-water routine, treat skin to not one, but two different cleansings and see how they give skin a deeper, more efficient cleaning. Use an oil-based cleanser first to lift up pore-clogging dirt, makeup, and even excess oil, then follow with a water-based cleanser to rinse all the impurities all away.
- Bask in a Sheet Mask: Sheet masks are a great way to re-charge the skin, and also the soul. Infused with different serums to target various skin concerns like aging, acne, dehydration, and uneven skin tone, while sheet masks work their magic and allow your skin to soak in all the ingredients, they also allow you to luxuriate in 15 to 20 minutes of peaceful downtime.
- Enjoy a Gua Sha Face Massage: Used for centuries in Korean skin care, this little heart-shaped beauty tool is big on skin-loving benefits. Fashioned from polished quartz or jade, Gua Shas are specially contoured to massage products like serums and moisturizer into your skin, while hugging all your facial bones and muscles to release tension, de-bloat and de-puff, and stimulate circulation and lymphatic drainage.
- Care with Clean Ingredients: Making the switch to clean skin care ingredients will help you glow form the inside, out. This is because skin is your body’s largest organ and eventually absorbs what’s put on its surface – so using products made with non-toxic ingredients from both nature and science, like Centella Asiatica, Hippophae Rhamnoides, Curcuma Longa, Deep Sea Water, Niacinamide, Polyglutamic Acid (PGA), and Sodium Hyaluronate, will help achieve a healthy, radiant reflection.
- Hydrate Skin On-Demand: Skin loves nothing more than to drink in hydration, so keeping a face mist on-hand will help give it the boost it needs, anytime and anyplace! Over-spritzing with water can actually be drying, so look for a gel-based mist to help seal-in the moisture.
These are just a few easy tips to give your skin some TLC – sure to help you glow this February and beyond!
