A lot of skincare problems can happen when your skin isn’t hydrated properly enough.

Think about it, oily, flaky and sensitive skin can all be a result of really dry skin. Oiliness in skin can occur because your body is trying to make up for the lack of moisture with even more sebum.

As for sensitive skin, lack of moisture thins the skin and prevents it from being able to protect the nerve endings of the skin. As a result, you’re more sensitive to environmental factors like the sun and wind chill. 

One of the essential parts of the Korean beauty regime, double cleansing not only helps to properly cleanse skin and remove makeup, it also helps to moisturize skin during the cleansing process. 

So how exactly do you double cleanse? Start with an oil cleanser to remove oil-based makeup. Next, use a water-based cleanser to remove water-based makeup and environmental particles. 

Every once in a while, we tend to forget to tone our skin but here’s why you really shouldn’t. 

Toning helps to get rid of makeup residue and prep your skin for the use of other skincare products. Some toners are formulated with ingredients that can help to even out skin tone too. 

No time to visit the spa for a facial? No problem! A sheet mask is a great way to pamper your skin and give it some tender loving care. 

How? Start by exfoliating your skin first. Afterwards, tone and apply an essence to help prep the skin and boost its absorption rate. 

Once that’s done, apply a mask as directed on the packet. 

There’s a reason Korean women love their kimchi so much. Kimchi is high in good probiotics that aids in digestion and helps you get really good skin too.
