K-Beauty Tips
K-Beauty experts share with Lane Crawford the Korean skincare tips passed down from their mothers.
Christine Chang Sarah Lee
The duo spent 20 plus years in the Korean and US beauty industries as marketers and product developers before cofounding natural Korean beauty destination Glow Recipe.
tip one Avoid friction
The friction from the towel can irritate your freshly cleansed skin, says Chang. “Try patting your skin dry with your fingertips instead – which also keeps skin firm and supple. If you are super tired, one cheat is using a super soft towel to gently dab against the skin.”
tip two Time is of the essence
Apply your products as soon as you can after drying your face, suggests Lee. “You want to seal everything in when your skin is still soft. My mum used to tell me to apply my toner within 3 seconds of drying my face after cleansing.”
tip three Application is key
“My mother always gently massages her products into her skin with her fingertips in an upward motion, which she says is the equivalent of a quick sit-up session. For that reason, very liquid, lightweight serums or treatments work best,” explains Chang.
