Layering skin care products is a must

Although it may be hard to follow, many Korean women faithfully follow an 8 to 10-step skincare routine every day to maintain the beauty of their skin. The multiple-step method provides a clever approach to maximize your skin's ability to absorb the products by gradually layering them. This technique allows the skin to thoroughly soak up each thin layer, maximizing its hydrating benefits. Key Korean skincare steps generally include oil cleansers, water-based cleansers, exfoliants, toners, essence, serum, sheet mask, eye cream, moisturizers, night creams or sunscreens. Each product plays a specific and equally important role.

ASIAN PRODUCTS HAVE GENTLE INGREDIENTS

Asian beauty products use much gentler formulas thanks to their tradition of using natural, unique, and harsh-free ingredients. Their skincare products aim to use less toxic chemicals and synthetic components. Instead, Korean skincare is filled with unique ingredients such as snail mucin, ginseng, rice bran, and mugwort, Japanese skincare uses timeless ingredients such as soy, green tea, hyaluronic acid, and rice extract. The natural and gentle ingredients that make Asian skin care products are safe to use for even those who have sensitive skin.

Yuzu, also known as the Japanese grapefruit, can deliver 3X Vitamin C to the skin. vitamin C enriched with this nutrient helps increase cell repair, collagen production, and skin protection from sun damage.

Asian products are affordable

Compared to many American skincare brands, most Asian skincare products are pretty affordable due to various factors, including competitive pricing, efficient production methods, and natural ingredients. 

You'll be surprised to discover that most of the popular anti-aging products in America are actually from high-end brands, typically costing $70 to $150 CAD; but most Korean anti-aging products cost under $30 CAD. 

One of the main reasons is that Korean skincare uses natural ingredients and technologies that are not found in American products. Poremizing Fresh Ampoule from SKIN 1004 is an example. This powerful ampoule is formulated with Centella Asiatica (CICA) and pink Himalayan salt for hydrating and anti-aging benefits. Pink Himalayan Salt is enriched with clarifying minerals to exfoliate dead skin cells and provide a deep cleansing that clears your pores of impurities. CICA can repair the skin barrier and increases elasticity and collagen production. The result is a more youthful, radiant complexion with a firmer, and minimizes the appearance of skin pores.

The most surprising thing is the Poremizing Fresh Ampoule cost only $27.99CAD
