1. The Absolute Basics of Home Care: Proper Cleansing
No matter how good the products you apply are, they're useless if cleansing isn't done correctly! Clean skin is the beginning of all skincare.
-
Double Cleansing is Essential:
If you've used makeup or sunscreen, you must first dissolve oil-based impurities with an oil/balm-type first cleanser, then thoroughly remove remaining impurities from pores with a foam/gel-type second cleanser. Choosing a cleanser that suits your skin type is crucial.
-
Low-Temp Cleansing & Foam Utilization:
Cleanse with lukewarm water rather than water that's too hot or cold, and use cleansing products after creating ample foam with your hands. Rich foam helps reduce skin friction, allowing for gentle removal of impurities.
-
Gently, Briefly:
When cleansing, relax your hands and gently massage your face. Finish cleansing within 1 minute to minimize skin irritation.
-
Residue-Free Rinsing:
Rinse thoroughly, including areas prone to cleanser residue like the hairline and jawline. Residue can cause skin troubles or clogged pores.

2. Tips for Boosting 'Skin Absorption Rate'
Even expensive cosmetics are useless if they don't absorb! Here's how to make your skin drink up products effectively.
-
'3-Second Moisturizing Method':
After cleansing, immediately apply a moisturizing toner or light serum within 3 seconds, before your skin dries. Applying the next step product when your skin is most hydrated significantly increases absorption.
-
Using Hand Warmth:
Dispense skincare products into your palm, gently rub them together to warm them with your hand's temperature, then press them onto your face for absorption. Warmth slightly opens pores, helping active ingredients penetrate deeper into the skin.
-
Layering & Absorption Time:
Instead of applying a large amount at once, layer thin textures multiple times, and allow sufficient absorption time between each step. Gently 'patting' or pressing can promote absorption.
-
Utilizing Ampoules/Serums:
Use functional ampoules or serums specifically tailored to your skin concerns for concentrated delivery of highly concentrated ingredients, helping to improve specific issues deep within the skin.
3. 200% Utilization of Mask Pack Effects
The easiest and most effective home care item, the mask pack! You need to use it correctly to get 200% of its effect.
-
Exfoliation/Skin Texture Refinement Before Pack:
Before using a mask pack, gently wipe your skin with a light toner or exfoliate once a week to prepare a clean skin base. This maximizes the absorption rate of the mask pack essence.
-
Enhancing Adhesion:
Apply the mask sheet perfectly to your face, removing any air bubbles with your fingers to ensure complete adhesion to the skin. Good adhesion ensures the essence is evenly delivered to the skin.
-
Adhering to Recommended Time:
Always follow the recommended time specified on the product (usually 15-20 minutes). Leaving the sheet on for too long until it dries out can actually strip moisture from your skin.
-
Utilizing Leftover Essence:
Do not discard the essence remaining in the mask pack pouch; apply it to dry areas like your neck, arms, legs, and elbows. It's even better to apply the leftover essence over the sheet mask once it's on your face.
-
Forming a Moisturizing Barrier After Pack:
After removing the mask pack, allow any remaining essence to fully absorb, then finish by forming a moisturizing barrier with a hydrating cream or face oil to lock in moisture and prevent it from evaporating.
4. My Own Special Care: Rollers & Massage
Self-massage and roller techniques can provide effects comparable to professional aesthetics.
-
Lymphatic Massage:
Consistently perform lymphatic massages to help drain waste from the face and brighten the complexion. Gently sweeping along the jawline, behind the ears, and down the neck is effective for reducing facial puffiness.
-
Utilizing Gua Sha/Face Rollers:
Use a Gua Sha tool or face roller to promote blood circulation in the skin, relax muscles, reduce puffiness, and provide a lifting effect. Storing them in the refrigerator before use can add a cooling effect.
-
Minimizing Skin Pulling:
When massaging or using rollers, ensure you apply sufficient face oil or massage cream beforehand to avoid direct friction on the skin. Skin pulling can cause wrinkles.
-
Consistency & Appropriate Pressure:
It's important to do it consistently for about 5-10 minutes every day, and to massage with gentle, consistent pressure rather than too much force.
5. 'Inner Beauty' You Should Never Miss
No matter how many good products you apply externally, radiant skin is impossible if your inner health is not good. True beauty comes from within.
-
Sufficient Hydration:
Consistently drink over 2 liters of water daily to provide ample hydration to skin cells. Water is essential for preventing skin dryness and maintaining elasticity.
-
Balanced Diet:
Consume plenty of vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, and reduce intake of processed foods, sugar, and excessive dairy. It's important to consume a variety of nutrients beneficial for skin health.
-
Adequate Sleep:
The hours between 10 PM and 2 AM are when skin cell regeneration is most active. You must allow your skin time to recover and regenerate through sufficient sleep.
-
Stress Management:
Stress is a major cause of skin troubles and aging. Relieving stress and maintaining mental and emotional stability through meditation, exercise, or hobbies significantly impacts skin health.
6. Expert's Advice: Consistency is Most Important!
The success of home care depends on 'consistency'.
-
The Power of 'A Little Bit Every Day':
Rather than trying to do too much at once, it's important to build small, consistent habits daily. Consistent effort, rather than one-time treatments, creates long-term skin changes.
-
Listening to Your Skin's Voice:
Skin condition changes daily. You need to flexibly adjust your care routine according to your skin's state, focusing on soothing care on some days and hydration on others.
-
Sun Protection is the Absolute Basic:
No matter how well you do home care, if you are exposed to UV rays unprotected, it will all be in vain. Always apply sunscreen thoroughly when going out, and use it indoors if necessary.
