Any skincare expert or enthusiast will tell you the same thing: CONSISTENCY is key. As long as you can come up with a set of skincare routine that works for your skin type and stick to it, you'll likely to see result in as fast as a month or two.
MYTH: "Perfect" skin never acts out.
Yes, people with "flawless" skin can experience lows too. If you've achieved your skin goals and expects your skin to stay that way, you'll bound to be disappointed. So often people will get easily demotivated when their skin starts getting dull, develop redness etc when they think they've perfected their skincare routine.
Your skin will have its bad days too and it's important that you stay gentle to your skin and not press the panic button by piling up too much "healing" products.
MYTH: You need to spend extra $$$ for radiant, celebrity-like skin
Nah. Affordable skincare products can still deliver expensive results, no doubt. It all comes down to the ingredients: if a product has good concentration of skin brightening and skin renewal ingredients (like AHA, BHA, PHA for example), then it's going to work regardless of the price.
-| Now, back to our question: How do Kpop idols achieve their insanely glowing skin?
We may not have the budget of a Kpop idol, but we can still achieve Kpop idol-like skin! In K-beauty, moisture is a big thing in their brand. The famous Korean 10 step skincare routine and the various ways they'd label a moisturising product (toner, ampoule, essence, etc) alone could tell you how much they emphasise giving your skin its well-needed moisture.
It all makes sense, really: when your skin is well hydrated, it'll appear plump thus giving that porcelain, glowing skin that everyone desires. Combine that with regular exfoliation (because dead skin equals dull skin and we don't want that) and you'll be left with skin like kpop idols that's so glowy they can spot you from the moon!
-| What does a glowing skin skincare routine look like?
You can just keep it minimal, and here's a useful tip: keeping your routine simple with just a few staple products will likely make you stay motivated in doing your routine. Let's face it: some days you don't even feel like putting anything on your face so having a simple, low maintenance skincare routine will make sure you stay consistent.
If you have no idea where to start, here's a template you can follow:
Step 1: use a pore-refining daily cleanser (because having clogged pores is a no-no if you want glowing skin)
Step 2: use a moisturising toner
Step 3: use a gentle, exfoliating ampoule (like we said, dead skin is also a no-no)
Step 4: use a hydrating cream after to cushion the exfoliation so your skin won't get irritated
Step 5: use a sleeping mask every now and then to give your skin some extra pampering
