Unlock the Glow with this Refreshing Korean Skincare Routine for Summer

Summer is here! It's time for sunshine, vacations, and...dealing with the effects of hot weather on your skin. Sun damage, sweat, and clogged pores can leave your face feeling dull and greasy. But fear not, fellow glow-getter! The secrets to radiant, healthy skin in the summer lie in a simple yet effective Korean skincare routine for summer.

Korean beauty is all about pampering your skin and achieving that coveted "glass skin" look – clear, plump, and dewy. Here's how to adapt their amazing skincare routine in summer.

Double Cleanse Like a Pro (Even in Summer!)

K-beauty swears by double cleansing, and for good reason. It removes sunscreen, makeup, sweat, and any other gunk that can build up and clog your pores. Here's how it works:

Oil Cleanser:

Start with an oil-based cleanser. Think of it like a magnet that attracts and dissolves oil, sunscreen, and makeup. Massage it gently onto dry skin, paying attention to areas like your nose and forehead.

Water-Based Cleanser:

Follow up with a water-based cleanser (foam, gel, or cream) to wash away any leftover residue and sweat. This leaves your face clean and refreshed, ready for the next steps.

Hydration is Key: Go for Lightweight Products During Summers

Summer heat can leave your skin dehydrated, but heavy creams can feel suffocating. The answer? Summer skincare essentials! Lightweight, hydrating products that quench your skin's thirst without clogging pores.

Toner:

Think of face toner as a refreshing drink for your skin. Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner gives solidity and firmness. From the first step it helps balance your skin's pH level (acidity) and preps it for better absorption of the products to come.

Essence:

This is a lightweight, watery liquid packed with nutrients and hydration. It helps plump up your skin and give it a dewy glow.

Serum:

Face serums are concentrated treatments that target specific concerns like wrinkles, dark spots, or acne. Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Serum restores balance and shields skin from losing moisture, keeping it healthy and hydrated.

Moisturizer:

Don't ditch face moisturizer entirely! The Black Rice Hyaluronic Cream is a light, nutrient-packed moisturizer that smooths your skin without any scent.

With this Korean skincare routine and a little bit of summer self-care, you'll be rocking that healthy, radiant glow all season long! 

Sun Protection is Non-Negotiable (Summer or Winter!)

Skincare in summers or any other season for that matter is incomplete without sunscreen. It is an absolute must-have in your skincare routine. Choose Haruharu sunscreen for your skincare needs, and here's why:

Stronger UV Rays:

Summer sun is harsher, so you need sunscreen with SPF 50  broad-spectrum protection (protects against UVA and UVB rays), and water resistance if you're sweating or swimming.

Reapplication is Key:

  Sunscreen breaks down over time, so reapply every two hours, or more often if you're sweating or swimming.

Remember to Exfoliate Once in a While  

Get rid of dead skin cells with a gentle exfoliator (chemical or physical) 1-2 times a week. This helps your skincare products penetrate deeper and gives you a brighter complexion.

Bonus Tips for a Summer Glow Up!

• Sheet Masks are Your Friend:  These pre-soaked clothes packed with goodness are perfect for a quick and refreshing hydration boost. Use them a few times a week for an extra summer glow.
• Diet and Lifestyle:  What you eat and drink shows on your skin. Stay hydrated with plenty of water, eat fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants, and get enough sleep.
• Don't Forget Your Lips:  The sun can zap moisture from your lips too! Use a lip balm with SPF to keep them soft and protected.

It's always a good idea to apply nourishing face oil after face exfoliation. Face oil helps to hydrate and protect your skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth.

Find the Right Products for You

With so many K-beauty products on the market, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. Here are some tips:

• Consider your skin type:  Do you have dry, oily, combination, or sensitive skin? Choose products formulated for your specific needs.
• Patch test new products:  Apply a small amount of the product to your inner arm and wait 24 hours to see if there's any irritation.
• Don't be afraid to experiment:  Have fun trying out different products to find what works best for you.

Korean summer skincare trends are leaning towards water-based serums with antioxidants, providing a refreshing and protective boost against the sun's rays and environmental stressors. Incorporate these simple summer skincare hacks into your routine to keep your skin looking and feeling its best even in the hottest months. Remember, consistency is key!
