What is Korean Beauty and Our Favorite K-Beauty Products

Beauty Makeup Skincare

What is Korean Beauty and Our Favorite K-Beauty Products

written by Milana

Korea is the beating heart of beauty innovation. It seems like a new product emerges every month and everyone goes into a frenzy. With big retailers such as Costco and Sephora jumping onto the bandwagon, this trend is here to stay!

It’s not just all hype and no substance. K-beauty products are some of the most innovative makeup and beauty products in the market right now. They offer innovation, gentle ingredients, pleasing and often very fun packaging.

What do Korean beauty products do differently?

Skincare: Famous for their 10-step daily skin routine (seriously, there are 10 steps), Koreans take skincare VERY seriously. Maintaining a youthful glow is one of their top goals, and they’re owning it.
Innovation: The Korean market is super competitive, so they’re always coming up with new products that give consumers the most bang for their buck.
The adventure factor: Their target consumers aren’t afraid to experiment a little. So you’ll definitely see some products you wouldn’t normally find in the western market.
Eco-friendliness: Companies know that unpronounceable ingredients don’t hold much sway with the public, so they focus on making eco-friendly products with natural ingredients.
Versatility: Why buy two products when you can get the same results with just one? Top selling products often have two or more different functions.

Because these products are becoming more and more famous, you don’t have to search far and wide to find them anymore. In fact, a quick search on Sephora will bring up over a hundred Korean makeup and skincare products.

Here’s a run-down of our current favorite Korean beauty products:

Neogen Pink Cactus Hydramax Knit Mask

Prickly pear cactus and vitamin C in this thick, woven mask work to both hydrate and brighten skin in 20 minutes or less. The thicker fabric encourages deeper penetration of actives — and yes, feels more secure and less slippy that flimsier cuts. $6 (sokoglam.com)

M Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF 42 PA+++

Originally developed as a salve for patients after laser treatment. BB Cream’s soothing and regenerative properties were adapted for cosmetics to improve skin while providing coverage. The M Perfect Cover BB Cream is Missha’s most popular product with over 30 million sold worldwide. $13.20 misshouse.com

Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin Cream

Suitable for every skin type, this is one powerful cream that will change any cream any day. And it is without any of the harmful ingredients. $60.00 sephora.com

CLIO Waterproof Brush Liner

Lauded as one of the longest lasting eyeliners on the market, CLIO’s Kill Black liner is a force to be reckoned with. Club Clio’s Waterproof Pen eyeliner feels like writing with a felt tip—and goes on in one streak. What more do you need for an eyeliner? $22.00 birchbox.comToo Cool For School Egg Mellow Cream

This firming moisturizer works as a serum, priming moisturizer, eye cream, neck cream, and sleeping mask in one. It’s highly enriched with egg yolk extract, albumen (egg white) extract, and inka omega oil to provide intensive nourishment to the skin. It is also infused with collagen fiber to support the appearance of more elastic skin. $43.00 sephora.com

Elizavecca Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask

Bubble masks are taking over the social media! These masks fizz and foam and make bubbles. Carbonated water gives a soft massage to pores. A adsorptive power of Charcoal and mud removes excessive subum clearly. Clay mud and charcoal powder removes makeup dirts and tightens pores at the same time. Perfectly clear skin is result you will see quite fast. $10.10 amazon.com

Dry Brushing 101: Everything You Need to Know

Dry Brushing 101: Everything You Need to Know

written by Milana

Uncovering your skin can be nerve challenging after the long winter. We all know that feeling when summer is right around the corner and our legs are looking pretty dull after a winter spent tucked away.

Cellulite, lack of skin radiance and elasticity is just one of those things that usually bothers us.

Fortunately,

there is a great, affordable option that will get you in the summer clothes with no fuss – dry brushing.

It is the age-old trick models like Miranda Kerr and Molly Sims swear by for smoother skin.

Although there are many anecdotal benefits to it, dry brushing feels great, makes skin softer, and it’s incredibly easy to incorporate into your routine, so there isn’t really any downside to trying it!

What is Dry Brushing?

Dry brushing is exactly what it sounds like… brushing the skin in a particular pattern with a dry brush, usually before showering. The idea behind this exfoliation and massage combo is to get your lymphatic system moving, which helps your body metabolize and get rid of toxins lingering inside, which results in the soft and radiant skin.

Benefits of Dry Brushing

Lymphatic Support: Brushing the skin regularly helps stimulate the normal lymph flow within the body and help the body detoxify itself naturally.
Reduces Cellulite – Dry Brushing stimulates the cells which help with circulation & breaks down toxins beneath the skin.
Exfoliation: This benefit is often noticed the first time a person dry brushes. The process helps loosen and remove dead skin cells, naturally exfoliating skin. Cleaning oil, dirt, and residue from the pores helps skin to “breathe” and better absorb moisturizers.
Increased Energy and Blood Flow: Encourages the elimination of metabolic waste.
Supports Immune System: Dry Brushing helps to detoxify the body which in turn helps the Immune System.
Stress Relief: The act of dry brushing has been described as meditative (especially if you do it in a quiet space) and may reduce muscle tension, calm your mind, and relieve stress. Many compare it to a light whole-body massage.

How To:

Make Sure Your Skin Is Dry

Well, it is called dry brushing. The optimal time to do it is right before you shower. Due to its energizing

Use Gentle Pressure.

Quick and gentle motions are the way to go. Dry brushing is a hard exfoliator, and you should be careful if you have sensitive skin. So if it doesn’t feel good, your skin is too itchy and tingling afterward, apply less pressure next time. Keep in mind though that your skin will become less sensitive the more you dry brush.

Make sure you have a brush with natural bristles instead of synthetic.

Always Brush Toward Your Heart

Starting at the feet and the palms of your hand work your way toward heart/chest area where the lymph system drains.

Cover All Parts Of Your Body

Use a brush with a long handle so you can reach all areas of your body. Don’t skip on armpits and inner thighs, these are prime lymphatic drainage spots, so dry brushing will be extra helpful here in releasing toxins from your body.

Clean Your Dry Brush

Use an antibacterial agent(try tea tree essential oil) to kill any bacteria on the bristles and to remove any dead skin cells that have sluffed off your skin. You can do this once a month.

Support Your Skin Brushing With Other Detox Practices

Dry brushing will only do so much if you’re not combining it with exercising, drinking enough water, getting enough sleep.

We suggest if you are dry brush before a shower, to use powerful anti-cellulite jojoba oil, oil mixture or treatment for stretch marks to maximize the effect.

Best Homemade Face Masks

written by Milana

Face masks are very important part of skincare, and for the time when you are too lazy or don’t want to wander farther than your kitchen, to get your skin glowing before the night out or just to spend some time taking care of yourself, whip up some recipes for homemade face masks from below.

Embed from Getty Images

These nutrients are not only healthy option for breakfast, they are also super good for your skin. Definitely, try to get organic with all the ingredients, to avoid irritations. You can apply these masks as often as you want as they are for all skin types including sensitive skin. To prepare your skin before any face mask, pour boiling hot water in a bowl and stand above it letting the steam open your pores. And if you have time, massage your skin with ice cubes after any of this treatments.

Banana Mask

Banana is packed with some vital vitamins and nutrients that make banana face masks extraordinary beauty fix. Mash up a medium-sized ripe banana into a smooth paste, then gently apply it to your face and neck. Let it set for 10 to 20 minutes, then rinse it off with lukewarm water and then moisturize.

Plain Ol’ Yogurt

Yogurt is a great ingredient for getting rid acne naturally, as it contains anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties, so it is great for acne-prone skin. Use plain, unsweetened probiotic yogurt as sweetened and flavored types will cause skin irritations. Mix it with 1 teaspoon of honey until you get a creamy paste. You can optionally add a squeeze of lemon to help brighten the skin or blend in a few blueberries for additional antioxidants. Apply a thick coat to your face with clean brush or fingers. Let it set for 10 to 20 minutes, rinse it off with lukewarm water. And feel free to eat the leftovers. 🙂

greek yogurt for skincare

Lemon

Lemon juice is packed with so many nutrients and its citric acid gradually fades spots and evens your skin tone, but one must be careful with the appliance, so make sure you don’t exfoliate your skin before adding this mask because the lemon juice can make it sting. Mix 1/2 of a real lemon or a few drops of lemon oil (it has the same effect) with 2 teaspoons of honey. Apply all over your face, avoiding the eye area. Rinse it off with cold water and pat to dry with soft towel.

Egg

The nutrients in egg yolks work to hydrate, nourish, and moisturize dull skin. If you have dry skin that needs moisturizing, separate the egg and beat the yolk and mix it with a banana and a bit olive oil.

Egg white is great for tightening and toning skin. So if you have oily skin, beat the whites with a 1 tsp of honey and 1 tsp of lemon juice.

For normal skin, use the entire egg.

Apply your mask, relax and wait for 20 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm then cold water at the end.

You’ll love your new fresh face after any of these treatments! Let us know what is your easy skincare recipe!

Summer Makeup and Beauty Tips To Look Your Best On The Beach

Summer Makeup and Beauty Tips To Look Your Best On The Beach

written by Milana

Some beauty essentials and tips for summer makeup that you need to fully glow in the sun!

First comes first,

And in this case, that is sunscreen, with aat least SPF 15! So before we hit the beach, we want to make sure we protected our face, as sun damage is the main factor for deteriorating skin changes.

s1684729-main-hero

sephora.com

To even out your complexion, there are products such as BB and CC creams with SPF, or you can make your own by mixing your moisturizer with a squirt of your foundation or concealer(oil-free are the best for both moisturizer and foundation) and dab it all over your face with a sponge or a brush. The skin can breathe better when you are using tinted moisturizer compared to waterproof foundation. Keep it as natural as possible!

Curl your lashes!

Curling your lashes before applying mascara is a really important step, for me at least it makes all the difference. My by far favorite eyelash curler is the one by Shu Uemura. By lifting your eyelashes your eyes look bigger and happier, and then you need just a bit of waterproof or water-resistant mascara to enhance that look. And yes, there really is a difference between them 🙂 Waterproof formulas are resistant to complete water submersion(read: super smudge-proof) however, they also contain strong chemicals to make this happen causing lashes to become brittle and damaged, and are trickier to remove afterward. While water-resistant formulas won’t withstand a day in the pool, they will resist the moisture caused by sweating or crying. and are gentle on the eyes and easier to remove. Apply on the upper lashes only, as it can smudge on lower lashes even if it is waterproof.

Frame your eyes by lightly feathering in your eyebrows, following your natural shape. You don’t want to use too much as you don’t want to look as you have full face makeup. This NYX eyebrow pencil is flattering for everyone from blondes to brunettes, and the light pink highlighting end is used beneath the arches to lift and brighten.

nyxcosmetics.com

Lip and Cheek Stain is your best choice for adding some color to your face. Use a brush to dab color and apply it to your cheeks. It lasts longer than powder and cream blushes because formula absorbs right into your skin and also looks natural as if you were naturally blushing.

If you are not tanned yet, use a bit of bronzer to add more color to your face, or so-called sun-kissed glow. I am hyping over this bronzer and its airbrush packaging by Physicians Formula.

Lipcare!

You should apply lip balm first, with SPF of course, as your lips need protection too. Especially if you use lip stains as they do not contain as many moisturizing properties as lip glosses and lipsticks. Yo can apply the same tint you used for the cheeks. You can also find lip stain in form of a marker which is easier to apply onto the lips.

Summer makeup

One of the best part about beach beauty look is definitely the hair, volumized and textured by the salt, sun and air creating beautiful, sexy beach waves. You can recreate that look, by getting one of the products like Bamboo Beach Summer Ocean. Spray it all over your hair and let it soak in and then style it by crunching and twisting the hair. Once it’s dry it should give dreamy and natural beachy waves.

At the end, if you want to smell fresh and nice, use body mists as they are only light enough for extensive summer heat.
