In the ever-evolving landscape of beauty trends, discerning between fads and effective methods can be a daunting task. To shed light on the matter, we embark on a journey to explore various beauty trends, separating the wheat from the chaff. In this instalment, we delve into the Korean 7 Skin Method, a skincare technique that took South Korea by storm last year. Join us as we decipher whether this method lives up to its promise of achieving the coveted Glass Skin.
Understanding the 7 Skin Method:
The 7 Skin Method derives its name from the Korean term for toners, commonly referred to as “Skins.” This technique involves layering a lightweight hydrating toner or essence onto the skin seven times consecutively. The objective is to enhance skin hydration without the heaviness associated with traditional moisturisers. Advocates of the 7 Skin Method tout its ability to impart a plump, dewy complexion by delivering intense hydration to the skin.
Applying the 7 Skin Method:
- Begin with freshly cleansed skin to ensure optimal absorption.
- Using a cotton pad, apply the 1st round of toner, sweeping it across the face to eliminate any residual makeup or impurities.
- For subsequent applications (2nd to 7th round of toner), pat the toner or essence into the skin with your hands, ensuring that the skin remains moist between each layer.
- Voila! Your 7 Skin Method routine is complete.
Important Note: Select gentle toners or essences devoid of alcohol, as alcohol-based astringents can lead to dryness and irritation.
