In your youth, when your skin looks firm and smooth, not many people think about proper care. At 20-25 your skin can withstand multiple layers of makeup, sleepless nights, and inappropriate skincare products. But for mature skin, such treatment is unacceptable!

As we age, cell renewal and repair processes slow down. The skin simply can’t function in the same way it used to. The consequences of improper care and lifestyle are visible on the face in the form of wrinkles, puffiness, and age spots. Natural thinning of tissues, reduction of collagen and other structural elements of the skin also contributes to this.

Alas, it is impossible to stop aging. But it is quite possible to return younger-looking skin and slow down aging! First of all it is necessary to build a proper system of care and to conduct obligatory home procedures on a regular basis.

In the Korean system of care there are 10 stages. Among them only 7 are compulsory, two of which – exfoliation and mask application – are performed only once a week. Let us explain each step in more detail.

Step 1: Removing makeup

If you put on makeup even occasionally, in your arsenal must be a special means to remove makeup. Makeup removers, hydrophilic oils, cleansing balms and creams are the only oil-based makeup removers. It is as if they dissolve heavy particles of makeup and remove impurities to the surface. Then all that remains is to wash away the dirt with a foam or gel in the next stage of care.

Step 2: Water Cleansing

The second step is the familiar foams and gels for washing. The composition should foam with wet palms, distribute on the face and rinse. At the same time you can conduct a small massage. Just try to run your hands along the massage lines and do not stretch the skin, so as not to provoke the formation of wrinkles.

Step 3: Exfoliation

Exfoliation is often called exfoliation, but this is not exactly true: the term ‘exfoliation’ means a deeper exfoliation that only a cosmetologist can do. At home, exfoliation is much more gentle.

At this stage, the skin is cleansed of dead particles with the help of peeling pads or acid-based products. The procedure is necessary to free the surface of the skin from the layer of dead cells and accelerate tissue renewal. After exfoliation, the skin is soft and smooth and the complexion is evened out. Regular exfoliation also slows down skin aging and helps reduce wrinkles.

Exfoliate your skin no more than once a week. If you have dry or sensitive skin, exfoliation is recommended only once every two weeks.

Step 4: Toning

Skin should be toned daily after every washing. Running water strongly dries the skin, reduces the level of moisture in the epidermis and contributes to dehydration. Toner helps to quickly make up for the lack of moisture and prevent dryness.

Toners have a liquid or gel texture. The gel format is more suitable for ageing skin as it intensely moisturizes and plumps up wrinkles. However, look first of all at the composition, not the texture.

The toner should be applied by hand without using a cotton pad, regardless of texture. This way the product penetrates deeper into the skin layers and is economical to use.

Step 5: Essence

Korean essences were originally created for additional skin moisturizing. But today they are often used to eliminate specific imperfections: wrinkles, pigmentation, acne, etc. Essences are insanely light in texture and are absorbed in seconds, so the composition should be applied very quickly.

It is recommended for mature skin 30+ to use rejuvenating essences as a course of several times a year. Means can be alternated with serums, which act in the next stage of care.

Step 6: Serum or ampoule

Concentrated serums and ampoules address key issues and quickly restore the skin’s condition. Means are not mandatory, but in the anti-aging care they should be introduced regularly. Serums are applied daily for a month with 4-5 weeks intervals.

Step 7: Facial Mask

Tissue or alginate masks should be used at least once a week. They are applied immediately after the toner or serum: the mask adheres to the skin and helps the components of the previous products to penetrate deeper.

The masks are an excellent express-care product and give an immediate visible effect. With regular use 1-2 times a week the result of the masks is cumulative and lasts for a long time. To restore the skin it is possible to conduct intensive course of masks and use every day for a week or a month.

Also at the 7th stage there are hydrogel eyelid patches: these are the same masks, but they are applied locally.

Step 8: Emulsion

This emulsion is similar in texture and function to a cream, but lighter. It can be used as a supplemental skin care product or instead of a cream. Emulsions are especially recommended for women with oily and sensitive skin who are uncomfortable with dense creams.

Step 9: Eye cream

The area around the eyes ages faster than the rest of the face. This area is very thin and prone to dryness regardless of the main skin type. Therefore, the skin around the eyes requires special care. Special eye creams are designed with the peculiarities of this delicate area in mind, protecting it from premature aging and reducing existing wrinkles.

Step 10: Face cream

At the end of care, all means must be overlaid with a cream. The cream protects the skin from external irritants and retains moisture in the cells. Also, depending on the formulation, the cream helps to combat specific skin imperfections.

Once a week, you can use an overnight mask instead of a cream in your evening grooming. Such masks resemble a cream, but denser and more concentrated. The night mask is applied 15-30 minutes before bedtime and is only washed off in the morning.

We don’t know how these tips leak onto the internet or even glossy magazines, whether on purpose or out of stupidity. But it’s definitely not a good idea to follow them! Here are the anti-top tips that “couch experts” in the beauty industry love to hand out.

Harmful tip №1. Wipe problem skin with alcohol-and more often

A great idea if you want to add oily shine, dryness and peeling to pimples and blackheads. Alcohol in high concentrations dries the skin too much and causes dehydration. The hydro-lipid balance is disturbed, it starts to feel “thirsty” and tries to compensate for the lack of moisture through the intensive work of the sebaceous glands. You end up with more problems.

Harmful Tip № 2. Flaky skin? Scrub!

Flaking is the ultimate in skin dehydration. The only way to get your skin back to normal is to moisturize it. Toners, moisturizing serums, masks, and creams can help. But not scrubs!

Scrubs have a different purpose: to exfoliate the stratum corneum and remove dead skin cells. It is better to use peeling pads, special discs with acids, delicate peels and scrubs with tiny particles resembling sand. Common scrubs with coarse abrasive particles scratch and traumatize the skin. Save them for exfoliating other parts of the body-legs, arms, and torso.

Harmful Tip №3. Wipe your face with micellar water and your skin will be clean

Micellar water is designed to remove makeup from your eyes, eyebrows and lips. No more than that. It is unable to dissolve tonal and powder products as only hydrophilic oils, creams and balms based on oils can do it. So it is hard to call your skin clean after micellar water alone. In addition, it is absolutely necessary to rinse the micellar water. If you use “micellar water,” you should always wash your face with foam or gel and only then go on to the main care.

By the way, South Korean cosmetics manufacturers rarely make micellar water – they just don’t see the point in it. The Korean system is based on a two-step skin cleansing system: demake-up with hydrophilic oil or removers and washing. Micellar water is not necessary here.

Harmful Tip №4. Give your skin a break from creams

This is a common sin for owners of oily and sensitive skin. It seems to them that their skin feels better without cream and other caring cosmetics. This is totally untrue.

Grooming products help your skin “work” properly, improve the metabolic process and cell regeneration. Without proper care, your skin will have to cope with everything on its own. At a young age, your skin can still put up with it, but after 25-30 years of age, help is REALLY needed. If makeup only makes you uncomfortable, it’s probably not the right cosmetic for your skin type or condition.

Harmful Tip №5. Found your perfect cream? Stay true to it for life!

No matter how much you like a certain product, don’t get attached to it. After a few months of using it regularly, it won’t have that magical effect. And it’s not just cosmetics. Your skin gets used to the same ingredients and gradually stops responding to them. That is why cosmetologists strongly recommend changing your entire skincare routine every three months. In addition, today there is such a huge range of cosmetics! Don’t you want to try something new?

Harmful Tip №6. Don’t use sunscreen-it’s bad for you!

Some of the chemical filters in sunscreens are understudied and can negatively affect your skin. It’s true. But the harm from ultraviolet radiation is still greater! The sun causes many times faster aging of the skin, pigment spots, and in some cases, cell mutations and melanoma. This, too, is true and has been proven many times by scientists. If you don’t believe it, read the article on the effects of UV rays on the skin.

Especially since there are mineral-based physical SPF filters available. They are perfectly safe for the skin and can be used even by children. The most common are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. These substances do not penetrate the skin structure, and play the role of a kind of shield. Mineral filters create an invisible barrier on your skin that the sun’s rays cannot penetrate.

If you want to protect your skin from wrinkles and age spots, make sure you apply sunscreen before going out every day. In the winter and in cloudy weather, too!

Harmful Tip №7. Wipe sensitive skin with ice cubes

A pleasant coolness refreshes the skin and creates a natural blush. Except that for thin, sensitive skin (which is usually the target of this “valuable” tip), ice can give you a bright vascular network and red “stars. And it is much more difficult to fight the manifestations of couperose than to cause them.

Hazardous Tip №8. Cosmetics from the fridge according to grandma’s recipe – the best thing that can happen to your skin

After all, everything here is natural, and in the bottles from the store is only chemicals! And I don’t care if cosmetics are developed by professional chemists and dermatologists. Just put a cucumber on your face and that’s the result! 🙂

But seriously, these products are made to be eaten. But not to smear them on your face. At best, it will only have a short-term moisturizing effect. No fruit or vegetable, even crushed into a “mush”, will not penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin, but will simply lie on the surface. Usually this brings absolutely no result. Some products can easily cause irritation and itching. Among them, mustard, mayonnaise, and vegetable oil are especially popular

Harmful Tip №. 9. Do you want to grow your hair out? Put a lot of mustard and pepper on your head!

If it stings and burns, then it’s working! And burns on the scalp and hair loss – well, just a nuisance. Beauty requires sacrifice…

Remember, only products that have been specifically designed for it can be applied to your scalp, just like on your face. Save the products for dinner.

Cushions are still considered a novelty to us. But trust me, it won’t be for long! The products are gaining popularity and at breakneck speed! Soon, cushions will become as familiar as BB creams, lip tints and other products that Korean manufacturers have given us. So, it is worth looking at the new product!

Couchons came to replace foundations and BB creams. The word couchon itself originated from the French coussin – “pillow”. This name indicates the presence of a soft sponge which is always included with the product.

Externally coussons resemble a compact powder puff. It is applied as powder: the content should be typed with a sponge and then distributed on the face patting or smearing movements. The porous sponge loosens creamy texture of the cushion and turns it into a light emulsion. That is why the composition lies evenly, does not accumulate and creates a natural tone.

At the same time, the couch lets you control the density of the coverage. If you only want to lighten the tone and make the face shine, it is enough to apply the cushion in one thin layer. To camouflage serious flaws like acne, age spots and scars, you need to layer the product until the desired result is achieved.

What are the advantages of cushion?

  • Convenience. It is much faster to create even tone with cushion than with foundation. A sponge helps to spread the product evenly without accumulation and smudges.
  • Compactness. The cushion case fits into any bag or even a pocket. Skin care product is always at hand when you want to refresh your makeup!
  • Skin care. Cushions always contain healthy ingredients that take care of your skin: they moisturize, nourish, reduce wrinkles, etc. The properties of each cushion depend on the composition.
  • Sun protection. Often the products contain SPF and protect the skin from UV radiation.

What are the disadvantages of cushion?

We found one disadvantage of the product – uneconomical consumption for dense coverage. This is faced by girls who hide problem skin under the couchon or just like to layer the tone. In this case, it is better to use conventional tonal and BB cream. To the same cushion can be resorted to quickly fix your makeup outside the home.

How to choose cushion?

Most cushions are universal for all skin types. But there are products that are suitable for dry or oily skin, for instance. Usually the seller specifies this information. On our website, each product comes with a description of its skin type and condition.

For normal to dry skin types, cushions with nourishing and moisturizing ingredients are great. Look for hyaluronic acid, collagen, ceramides, plant oils and extracts.

Owners of oily and combination skin need hydration and sebum control. Get rid of oily shine can help you such components as zinc, talc, Baikal skullcap extract, and pearl powder.

If you have problematic or hypersensitive skin, pay attention to cushions with soothing components. You’ll love products with panthenol, aloe vera, liquorice extracts and Asian centella.

For fading skin prone to wrinkles and loss of firmness, cushions with anti-age effect are recommended. They can contain peptides, antioxidant plant extracts and adenosine.

For pigmented skin care cushions with lightening ingredients such as niacinamide, pearl and mulberry extracts and arbutin can be very helpful.

What other cushions are there?

Cushions originated as foundation products for the face. But the form proved so handy that it spread to other types of cosmetics. Today, highlighters, blushes, eye shadows and lipsticks appear in cushion format. So soon it will be possible to collect the whole beauty arsenal from just cushions alone!
