4 Korean Models Share the Secrets Behind Their Surreally Good Skin
Backstage at Seoul Fashion Week’s Fall shows, a group of fresh-faced young models sat chatting away as makeup artists hovered above them with concealer palettes and cushion compacts. Yet in most cases the girls required the most minimal of touch-ups, thanks to the near-flawless complexion and lit-from-within glow that a devotion to Korean skin care can bring. Here, five of the week’s top models share one beauty tip that they’re loving right now—from a hydrating alternative to oil cleanser to the low-key secret to a full pout.
“This is a brand-new tip that’s getting popular! To wash your face, take half cleansing cream and half moisturizing cream, and mix them together. It is super-hydrating and clears out your pores. Oil cleansers can cause problems for some people, so this is a good alternative.”
“When I’m not wearing any makeup, I only wash my face with water. Then I carefully use my fingers—not my palms—to apply moisturizer, so that the creams absorb well.”
“Mask packs, or sheet masks, are the most important beauty secret of my life! When I have a runway to walk or an important shoot, I always use a single sheet right before I go to sleep—your skin needs that time to heal itself, and a mask helps your skin become bright and shiny. It’s very common among Korean girls to throw one on before a job interview or even on their wedding day.”
“Since my skin is dry, I put coconut oil on right after I wash my face, do a quick massage, then apply my creams and the rest of my skin care after that.”
