1.  Koreans Always Follow the 10-Second Rule

Korean Beauty experts say: "After taking a hot shower, you have to apply your toner within 10 seconds,"

You will lose your natural moisturizer as the longer you wait, the more dehydrated your skin becomes. So the faster you can lock in that moisture and keep your skin protected, the better way. 

2.  Korean Rice Moisturizer

By Korean Beauty experts:  "Rice is a natural moisturizer that helps slow aging, reduce dark circles, fade age spots, and brighten your skin".

Just soak rice for about 10-15 minutes, swirl it roughly, and then use that milky water as a pseudo-toner. If you'd rather go with a ready-made rice product, try Primera's black rice mixture or Innisfree's rice sleeping mask pod to get the same brightening and moisturizing effects.

3.  Double Cleansing

Prep and Pre-Cleanse: Double cleanse method involves removing the day's BB cream and blush with a nutrient-rich towelette to erase every trace of eye makeup with a liquid remover. Next, draw out sebum and bacteria using a gentle oil cleanser and lukewarm water.

 Cleanse Again: Korean women believe, that proper cleansing is the key to a radiant, acne-free complexion, which—is with a mild cream or foaming cleanser.

Cho says "Don't rub, Soft circular motions do the trick."

    4.  Tighten Up With Toner

Korean variation toner always helps to remove any residual residue from the prior three steps, while soothing and restoring your pH balance.

5. Add an Ampoule

"Ampoule is basically a strong, vitamin-rich version of the essence with much slicker consistency".

 "Its purpose is to directly deal with any existing or potential anti-aging issues, like dulling skin, uneven tone, or loss of collagen and elasticity."

6. Koreans Give Their Face a Steam Massage

 Koreans use circular motions with fingers and tapping in rotating motions while starting on the forehead, then the cheekbones, and cheeks, and working down to the jawbone. Massaging increases circulation and creates a dewy skin texture. For added benefit use an oil cleanser to maximize hydration.

7.  Use an overnight sleeping mask

 During sleep, your skin cells turnover and this is the best time to hyper-moisturize. So, Koreans like to apply an intensive sleeping mask to correct any dullness.

8.  Koreans use the charcoal sheet face mask

Charcoal detoxifies and exfoliates your skin, and all you have to do is let the sheet sit on your face for 15 to 20 minutes while you relax.

9.  Drink barley tea

Ever gone to a Korean restaurant and gotten a nutty-flavor tea? It's probably roasted barley tea, which is served to Korean babies from birth to fortify their skin and overall well-being. Barley tea is rich in anti-oxidants and one study showed that drinking it can improve blood circulation. Some suggest it may even double as a weight loss drink.

  10.   Koreans use Ginseng in their Diet for skincare

"Ginseng is one of the ingredients in Korean beauty for a really long time, and really kicked off the Korean skincare market," 

 "It's really good for detoxifying your skin and getting rid of any pollutants, and there are a lot of antioxidants,"
