Korean skincare trends are all the rage on TikTok and social media platforms. Bulletproof K-beauty trends have gained more popularity with the rise of Kdrama and Kpop. Almost everyone wants to achieve flawless skin like K-pop idols. Especially, people’s latest obsession with glass skin has put the K-beauty industry on the map.
With its innovative approach, advanced technology, and effective skincare formulations, Korean skincare is taking over Western skincare. Korean skincare trends 2023 are all about incorporating the right products into your skincare regimen. Often, it is wrongly assumed that the best Korean skincare trends are all about expensive products. Let’s delve deep and learn about some of the Korean skincare trends 2023
Glass Skin
It is not just a famous K-beauty trend anymore, instead, glass skin has become a phenomenon. This trend of super-glowing skin has changed the scene for the Korean beauty industry. In 2023, people are obsessed with this skincare trend and willing to do anything to get a dewy glow.
Achieving glass skin is a mix of skincare, makeup, and a healthy diet. Importantly, it involves using a lot of moisturizing products with antioxidants and hyaluronic acid to get glowing skin and reverse sun damage. Additionally, a little help from makeup goes far in achieving flawless, glass skin. For instance, use concealer to hide blemishes and hyperpigmentation and a highlighter for a subtle sheen.
Skip-Care
Most people misunderstand the Korean skincare regimen and shun it for its extensive steps. While the 10 and 12-step Korean skincare routines are still fairly popular, the Korean beauty world is experiencing a major shift with skip-care. Otherwise known as skin minimalism, this Korean skincare trend 2023 is all about skipping some of the steps and using multi-purpose skincare ingredients.
Korean beauty brands are making products with a combination of ingredients for people too lazy to do excessive skincare. These effective formulations combine several active ingredients and are proven to be quite effective. Skip-care is all about saving money and time as well as getting the desired results.
Waterless Skincare
Korean beauty brands are constantly researching to find new innovative ways to make products. Thanks to constant innovation, one of the new trends that hail from Korea is waterless beauty. Buyers can get value for money as the product with minimal water lasts longer. In regular skincare products, you may see ‘aqua’ written at the top of the ingredients list.
In contrast, waterless skincare formulations involve more efficacious ingredients instead of fillers and water. Waterless skincare products are often found in powder form or oils. While these are eco-friendly and effective, waterless beauty is not suitable for every skin type.
Double Cleansing
Double cleansing is not just a popular Asian skincare trend anymore, it is adopted by Westerners due to its effectiveness. As the name implies, it involves cleansing your face with two types of cleansers, oil-based and foam-based cleansers. At the start, cleanse and massage your face with an oil-based cleanser to remove makeup, skincare products, dirt, and oil-based impurities.
Subsequently, remove the remaining dirt, makeup residue, sweat, and water-based impurities using foam-based cleansers. Not only this K-beauty trend leaves the skin fresh, but it also enhances the effectiveness of the skincare regimen.
Sheet Masks
The Korean beauty industry has taught the world the significance of sheet masks. All those viral ‘me time’ self-care scenes in Kdramas feature the actress treating her skin with sheet masks. Korean sheet masks are known for delivering instant results. Usually soaked in essences or serums, sheet masks are applied to the skin for 20 to 30 minutes.
Since sheet masks contain a concentrated dose of active ingredients, they address skin concerns like dullness, dryness, and acne efficiently. Additionally, it provides an instant hydration boost as well as nourishes and brightens the skin.
Double SPF
Koreans do not take sun care lightly, they wear SPF even at home. Currently, Koreans have upped their game by doubling the SPF application. Besides the sun, the LED lighting as well as light from our laptops, phones, and screens is also damaging to the skin. Light emitted from the aforesaid devices also damages the skin barrier.
SPF formulations for sun protection are different from those offering protection against blue light. So, there is an emerging Korean trend that involves using two SPF products for ultimate protection from UV rays and blue light.
Jello Skin
This is the latest Korean skincare trend which involves achieving a bouncing skin similar to jello. Achieving bouncy, plump skin involves using a lot of collagen-infused skincare and a healthy diet rich in protein. This trend was started by the Korean influencer, Ava Lee, and now, many skincare enthusiasts are already following the trend.
With that said, jello skin can not be achieved overnight. It involves changing your diet and skincare to get the bounce you need. As they say, slow and steady wins the race, start making the needed changes to take a step towards jello skin.
