Slapping your face to following 10 second rule: 5 KOREAN beauty secrets you must adopt

Korean skincare has been getting so popular lately and we are not surprised. More and more people in our country are switching their skincare routines to a Korean one and are talking so highly of the effects. There are people who can afford to invest their time and money into buying too many skincare products, but if you're someone who wishes to keep it simple yet effective, you're in for a treat. Start adopting these Korean skincare habits and be sure to achieve gorgeous skin.

What we mean by this is that you're supposed to apply your products as quickly as possible. After you take a shower, you need to apply your toner within 10 seconds. The longer you wait, the more dehydrated your skin becomes. So, you need to lock in that moisture as quickly as possible. If you're at the gym and don't have a toner with you, apply your moisturiser within 10 seconds of taking a quick shower there.

Cotton sheet masks are the biggest Korean beauty craze of the moment. There are a variety of options available right from hydrating to exfoliating to brightening the skin. To get the most out of your sheet mask, you need to bring them to the steam room at the gym or spa. Once your pores are open, your sheet mask will help you seal the moisture in.

For Koreans, face massage is a daily staple. There are a few massage techniques that you can use but here's the gist: Use your knuckles or fingertips to massage the muscles and tissues under your skin. This increases the blood circulation and gets the oxygen flowing through your face. This keeps your skin glowing and radiant. Massaging your face daily helps fight wrinkles and prevents your skin from ageing over time.

Double cleansing is important. For Koreans, it's considered so necessary that no one ever washes their face just once. You must remove your make-up first and then wash your face again with a second product to get your skin deeply cleansed.

Yeah, this already sounds crazy! But it's a very popular technique in Korea. Women in Korea slap their faces at least 50 times after finishing their daily skincare routine to get the blood circulation going. It also firms up the face muscles. It might sound crazy, but when it comes to slapping, the more, the merrier and the harder, the better.
