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 tips of the commerce with regards to 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 primary steps are: cleanse, hydrate, nourish, defend. {through}

The ‘glass pores and skin’ look is all the trend proper now and after seeing Jamie and following the routine she gave me, I’m right here to inform you 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 give attention to any areas of congestion or heavy make-up. 

(30 sec) Slowly add water to emulsify the oil, it can flip right into a white milky consistency. Be sure to completely emulsify and at last rinse clear

In case you’re new to double cleaning now we have 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 & Dwelling Libations. Additionally, LOVE HOP Step 1.

Cleanse:

HYDRA Exosome Cleanser (PM)

(30 sec – 1 min) Apply second cleanser to dried face, a couple of dime measurement. 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 just lately bought in hassle for ‘not’ doing by Staci Christie. Extra on that right here.

For AM cleaning, rinse face with heat water or use a clear tender face towel with heat water. Jamie makes use of clear pores and skin membership towels for this.

Exfoliate:

Le Mieux Good Renewal Pads. (PM solely) – Dump whole bottle into pad container. Let pads take in exfoliant fully.

2-3 instances per week after cleaning, swipe exfoliation pad all through face. These pads are very skinny so make sure 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 desires to soak up. Permit face to soak up till virtually fully dry, when pores and skin continues 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. Permit face to soak up till virtually fully dry, when pores and skin is cheesy apply subsequent step.

Defend: 

Melavita-C Lotion (3-5 pumps) 

Apply moisturizer to lock all the pieces in. Observe with SPF for daytime. 

SPF: Great thing about Joseon

Apply 2-3 fingers price 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 possibility. It is 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 wish 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 nearly on a regular basis, you’ll be able to skip the make-up as a result of it provides you this good glowy tint.

There you have got it, my newest Korean skincare routine. In case you’re in Austin and in want of the most effective facials you’ve ever had, take a look at Imaje and guide with Jamie. All of the merchandise she advocate for me are 10/10 (for me- do your personal analysis). And in the event you ‘re in want of another choices, make sure certain to take a look at my newest skincare routine which I nonetheless do on a regular basis too.
