Everybody is already responsive to the impact of the lengthy Korean skincare routine that ensures smooth, glassy and flawless skin. K-Pop stars are all known for their phenomenal skin, even-toned complexion and the way plump and glassy their skin looks. When it involves IU or Lee Ji-eun, popular South Korean singer-songwriter and actress who is thought for her enviable voice, acting skills and after all, skin, keeping her skin healthy is kind of simple. She who rose to fame at the tender age of 15 together with her album Lost and Found, is thought to stay to the fundamentals for her skin. Here are some IU Beauty tips to help you achieve your youthful and flawless glow!
Water
Use water to wash your face after you wake up. Do not use any cleanser. Water not only makes your skin feel refreshed, but it also removes impurities from your face that may have settled down on the skin during the night. It also keeps your skin hydrated.
Sunscreen
Somehow, IU’s skin always looks flawless, hydrated and glossy. This comes from the actual fact that the diva doesn’t step foot outside without slathering on many moisturizer and sunscreen to guard her skin from the cruel sun and free radicals. She also ensures she is usually hydrated by always sipping on water.
Toner
Remember the three-step rule: cleansing, toning and moisturizing? IU believes that toner does it all – evens the skin tone, soothes inflammation, closes up pores, hydrates skin and most importantly leaves it feeling and looking healthy. Her skincare routine is incomplete without toner in it.
Essence
An essence is a blend of serum, toner, and moisturizer and is a crucial part of the 10-step Korean skin care regimen. It hydrates and primes your skin and nourishes the skin cells. It also prepares your skin for the next steps. Pour a bit of it on your palm and gently press it all over your face. Do not sweep your fingers.
Sleeping Mask
It’s during sleep that your skin cells turnover and do their hardest work on cell recovery. This is often the most effective time to hyper-moisturize and work on a tired complexion. It is favored to use an intensive sleeping mask to correct any dullness. When you wake up, weeks of wear and tear will have come off of your face. Trust me.
Facial Oil
The latest beauty fad is sticking on for a reason – it works! All IU’s skin needs is simply two drops of facial oil to try to the trick. Pro tip: to shorten her routine, IU is thought to combine up her moisturizing and hydrating toner with facial oil on a cotton pad and patting this glorious mixture on her face for around five minutes so it can soak up all the goodness from this concoction.
And voila, her secret to smooth, clear and flawless skin is revealed! Are you visiting add these to your skincare routine as well?
