Comments on: 4 Things I Learned From Korean Skincare https://www.beautifulwithbrains.com/korean-skincare-hype/ Skincare Blog | Skincare Made Easy Fri, 23 Oct 2020 09:48:39 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.2.5 By: Gio https://www.beautifulwithbrains.com/korean-skincare-hype/comment-page-1/#comment-670956 Thu, 06 Sep 2018 20:32:46 +0000 http://beautifulwithbrains.com/?p=60638#comment-670956 In reply to Evelyn.

Evelyn, I wish! Remember that celebrities and actors need to care for their appearance so they have lots of treatments done. They just don’t tell you about it. Wrinkles and dark spots are mostly caused by sun-induced free radicals and moisture can’t stop them. But it can make those wrinkles LOOK smaller by plumping them up. Also, Koreans are religious with sunscreen. That prevents lots of the damage to begin with! So if you use sunscreen and hydrate well, you’re gonna age more slowly and look younger than someone who doesn’t. But, eventually, you’ll develop wrinkles and dark spots like everyone else.

As for eye cream, it depends. It’s true that for most people, eye cream isn’t necessary BUT if the skin under your eyes is a different skin type (i.e. less dry) than the skin on the rest of the face, then a separate (and in this case, lighter) eye cream would help. But if you have the same skin type all over, go for it. I wouldn’t use your eye cream as your facial moisturiser just because that’ll run out quickly and you’ll spend too much money buying it again every few weeks.

You can use TO HA both before or after sheet masks. They’re both hydrating products so in this case, the order doesn’t really matter much.

You can find my opinion of collagen supplements here: https://www.beautifulwithbrains.com/truth-collagen-drinks-work/

I’m a patter. I write about the reason here: https://www.beautifulwithbrains.com/skincare-products-work-better-pat-rub/

Does it mean that with sufficient hydration we do not need to worry about anti-aging?

I have other tons of questions if you could help.

Eye cream- I have dry and matured skin, and I read from your post that eye cream is not necessary. My products are usually in thicker texture because my skin really needs the extra hydration, is it safe to apply thick formula under our eyes? I do have a jar of eye cream, was wondering can I use it as my face cream?

HA- I have The Ordinary HA 2%, should I use it before or after sheet mask?

Supplements- What other ways can we take care of our skin health? Does vitamin C and collagen supplements have any impact on our skin?

Pat or massage- Should we pat or massage our products, and why? (I.e toner, exfoliant, prescription products, serum, moisturizer, sunscreen).

Sherry, I completely agree. They’re obsessed about sun protection and eat a better diet, too. Those things help A LOT more than any skincare product does.

I think Japanese and Korean skincare have some similarities in common. For example, they both recommend double cleansing and focus on hydration. But I think the Japanese tends to stick to the basics of skincare (ie what skin needs) whereas the Korean are more creative and constantly come up with new gimmicks.

Also why people in northern countries have better skin, less sun. Unfortunately for me, I live in the desert. I can’t use Korean skincare because they load it with fragrance and I’m allergic. Now, Japanese skin care interests me. They have a lot of fragrance free products. As for water, I started applying moisturizer while my skin was still wet, to trap the water. Complete game changer, my skin has never looked better, especially my undereyes. Thanks for the reviews!

Mo, I’m not a big fan of garlic, so I think that settles it. 🙂 But my father loved escargots.

Escargots are a fantastic meal. Done right, preferably in a “French cuisine” restaurant, you will absolutely love them if you like garlic. Garlic is a must when they are served in hot butter with herbs. Yuuuuuum!
