Do you guys ever wonder why Koreans have flawless, poreless, and textured-less skin? It’s so supple and smooth, as if they have no struggles in life at all (just kidding, maybe!). And don’t even get me started on their hair, it’s so voluminous even though their hair type isn’t thick! And their makeup? To die for! Who wouldn’t want to look like an angel, am I right?
Well, you know what, it’s not impossible to be like them too! Just do what they do, and I did! Wait, what did I do exactly? Keep on scrolling!
- What You Eat Is What You Get
You know what they say, beauty comes from within and never underestimate the power of collagen! If you didn’t know, Koreans are renowned for their collagen-rich diets! If it’s not too obvious, their staple dish ‘Kimchi’ is high in vitamin C, which is essential for collagen production! But, as much as I’d love to eat like them, my Malaysian palate couldn’t handle it every day. So, what did I do?
I started consuming Korea’s No.1 Collagen Brand from Ever Collagen! Not only does it taste delicious, but it’s also incredibly convenient because I don’t need to dissolve it in water like other common collagen supplements I’ve tried. Within a month, my once dull skin isn’t so dull anymore! It’s glowing and radiant like never before!
- I Upgraded My Skincare Routine!
We’re not sticking to basic skincare routine anymore. Cleanser-moisturiser-sunscreen isn’t enough because Korean skincare involves extra steps that just make sense (for real!).
I started using this product become TikTok made me buy it, and let me tell you, it’s worth the hype! The product is none other than COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence. After experiencing severe breakouts, this essence saved my troubled skin! If you’re hesitant about trying it out, don’t be! It’s definitely a must-have if you want to improve your skin texture. I would apply this essence after using toner!
If you think I stopped at essence, then you’re wrong! I also added a dark spot targeting serum from Goodal to my skincare routine! Dealing with stubborn acne scars led me to this holy-grail, and it’s been a game-changer ever since! I never skip applying it now. For locking in moisture, I rely on a non-greasy, fast-absorbing moisturiser, and PINK BY PURE BEAUTY Bye Bye Pores Sherbet Cream is my go-to choice, it truly never disappoints! One thing you’ll never catch me without is sunscreen, and there’s a good reason for it. Sunscreen isn’t just a step in the Korean skincare routine, it’s crucial! It’s the key to maintaining youthfulness by shielding your skin from UV damage that can cause wrinkles. Plus, it’s your best defense against pigmentation, preventing it from even starting. So, never skip your sunscreen, arraseo? My favourite? BEAUTY OF JOSEON Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics SPF50+, always always.
- Voluminous Hair: It’s Not Just About Thickness!
This is for my thin-haired girlies like me who want to shine! Just because you have thin hair doesn’t mean you can’t have beautiful hair. Just look at your favourite K-Pop idol, IVE’s Won-young for example, her hair may not be thick, but it’s definitely voluminous!
Voluminous hair is all about that fullness, while thickness refers to the width of each hair strand. Koreans know the secret to fuller-looking hair lies in caring for the roots. And trust me, after using JENNY HOUSE Intensive Protein Ampoule for just a month, my hair has never looked healthier!
Before I started exploring K-Beauty, I never knew how important using a hair serum was! No wonder the old me had damaged hair (sob sob). But after including this MISE EN SCENE Perfect Serum Super Rich, my hair has become noticeably softer and healthier! Just remember not to use heat tools every day. Take it from me, who used to have fried hair! 😫
- Coral Blush Suits Every Skin Tone!
Despite Koreans mostly having fair skin tones, there’s one blush that suits every complexion: DASIQUE Blending Layer Cheek 01 Summer Coral Edition! My makeup routine isn’t complete without it! What I love most is how seamlessly each hue blends into my skin, giving me a natural glow with a silky texture that feels weightless and lasts all day! I would say, it’s perfect for daily wear, especially for achieving that beach-ready makeup look!
