She owns Imaje Pores and skin Ritual and she or he gave me an unimaginable buccal therapeutic massage, lymphatic drainage therapeutic massage, salmon semen facial, and dropped some main methods of the commerce on the subject of Korean skincare. To say I’m obsessive about the routine and merchandise she gave me is an understatement. I’m noticing such a change in my pores and skin. However first, let’s dive deeper.
What’s Korean Skincare:
The entire idea of Korean skincare lies in respecting your pores and skin, taking excessive care of it, and utilizing merchandise and practices for the lengthy haul. It focuses on prevention and safety, which we’re all about. It’s true that Korean skincare can contain many steps (even 12) nevertheless it doesn’t should. The principle steps are: cleanse, hydrate, nourish, defend. {by way of}
The ‘glass pores and skin’ look is all the craze proper now and after seeing Jamie and following the routine she gave me, I’m right here to let you know my pores and skin is clearer, extra vibrant and positively wanting glassy.
On this submit I wish to break down Jamie’s precise directions and share all of the Korean skincare merchandise I’ve been utilizing.
My Korean Skincare Routine:
Double Cleanse:
Naked Magnificence Cleaning Oil (PM solely)
(30 sec – 1min) Apply oil cleanser to dry face. Work oil throughout face. Use mild round motions and deal with any areas of congestion or heavy make-up.
(30 sec) Slowly add water to emulsify the oil, it is going to flip right into a white milky consistency. Be sure to totally emulsify and eventually rinse clear
For those who’re new to double cleaning we’ve all of the detailed directions in this submit for you. Bear in mind to make use of your child wash cloths to maintain your pores and skin free from any gross reside or micro organism out of your regular physique towels.
Different cleaning oils/balms I like: Elemis & Residing Libations. Additionally, LOVE HOP Step 1.
Cleanse:
(30 sec – 1 min) Apply second cleanser to dried face, a few dime dimension. Unfold completely throughout face and neck. Add water to lather. Completely cleanse and rinse clear.
You are able to do this within the AM too, which I lately obtained in bother for ‘not’ doing by Staci Christie. Extra on that right here.
For AM cleaning, rinse face with heat water or use a clear smooth face towel with heat water. Jamie makes use of clear pores and skin membership towels for this.
Exfoliate:
Le Mieux Excellent Renewal Pads. (PM solely) – Dump whole bottle into pad container. Let pads take in exfoliant utterly.
2-3 instances per week after cleaning, swipe exfoliation pad all through face. These pads are very skinny so make certain you’re solely utilizing 1 at a time. I additionally love Dr. Dennis Gross peel pads.
Prep:
Melavita-C Toner (AM + PM)
Apply a beneficiant handful and press into face. Use as a lot as your pores and skin needs to soak up. Enable face to soak up till virtually utterly dry, when pores and skin remains to be cheesy, apply serums.
Deal with:
Melavita -C (AM) / Energy PEP (PM)
Use 1 dropper full and apply to face and neck and décolletage. Enable face to soak up till virtually utterly dry, when pores and skin is cheesy apply subsequent step.
Shield:
Melavita-C Lotion (3-5 pumps)
Apply moisturizer to lock the whole lot in. Comply with with SPF for daytime.
SPF: Fantastic thing about Joseon
Apply 2-3 fingers value for face/neck/decolletage. Reapply each 2-4 hours relying on solar publicity.
SPF: Klavuu
Whereas this does have some SPF it isn’t sufficient as a standalone SPF choice. This can be a pores and skin finisher or make-up primer. Use solely 1-1.5 pumps. Dab onto pores and skin and buff gently into pores and skin. It doesn’t totally cancel redness nevertheless it creates a extra rosy, even tone with it.
I prefer to therapeutic massage my face with TSC Face Massager earlier than I apply SPF or make-up. And if you use Caffeinated SPF, which is sort of on a regular basis, you may skip the make-up as a result of it provides you this excellent glowy tint.
There you may have it, my newest Korean skincare routine. For those who’re in Austin and in want of among the finest facials you’ve ever had, try Imaje and guide with Jamie.
