Seems like everyone on the internet has the most beautiful and glowing skin ever and the thing is, most of us try to achieve that using products that we have no idea about and don’t do anything beyond that. Remember, achieving a goal for your skin isn’t just about using a specific type of product and hoping for the best. You need to change your lifestyle, try drinking more. 8-10 glasses of water to keep your skin hydrated. A healthy diet that is balanced with rich fruits, vegetables, whole grains and so on. Get sleep, I know it can be hard or it can seem like you get enough sleep in only 4 hours, but that’s not the case. Getting a good 7-9 hours of sleep can do wonders for you, not only for your skin but for you overall health aswell. You cant sleep? Start reading books during the night, or start doing exercises or move more, study more, go out more so that when it is time to sleep, you’ll be able to lay your head on the pillow and sleep immediately. Once you are able to do those things, we can also start using products that are going to help us achieve the look. In this case… a glowing and radiant skin.
01 Ginseng toner
The ginseng korean skin care brand has been trending recently and all for the good reasons. This toner helps dealing with oily or dry skin. The Ginseng toner contains 80% Ginseng root water which is known for its hydrating and anti-inflammatory properties, meaning that it reduces inflammation in the skin which in turn reduces redness and swelling and improves skin healing. This toner is also a very gentle formula which means that it is free of alcohol, artificial colors and fragrances making it suitable for sensistive skin and acne-prone skin.
02 COSRX aha/bha treatment toner
The Cosrx aha/bha treatment uses dual-action exfoliation. AHA is glycolic acid and BHA is betain salicylate which is good for exfoliating and penetrating deeper into pores. This also means that it is good for treating and preventing acne, blackheads, whiteheads and milia. Whilst AHA works mostly on the surface, BHA goes deeper into the pores. This toner is also great for sensitive skin since it has a low concentration of acids (0,2&). And lastly this toner is cruelty-free and paraben-free which means that it isn’t tested on animals and paraben-free means that it doesn’t contain paraben which is a group of preservatives distansing from potential health concerns that can be linked to parabens.
03 Beauty of Joseon glow serum
This serum has 60% propolis extract which means it is anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and has wound-healing properties and can help with acne, redness, and irritation. It’s also 2% niacinamide which helps minimize oil on the skin and minimises pores and lastly is helpful for brightening the skin tone. It is a good product but is not the most important thing on this list.
04 Naturium Vitamin C face serum
This product is especially good for anti-aging elements and uneven skin tone. The L-ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) is a potent antioxidant that helps neutralize free radical and potentially reducing visible signe of aging. Vitamin c is important for the skin for different reasons, its good for damaged skin cells which is good against wrinkles, fine lines, and uneven skin tone. Vitamin C is also an essential cofactor for the the production of collagen, the protein responsible for skin’s firmness, elasticity, and plumpness. As we age, collagen production naturally declines, leading to visible signs of aging. Vitamin C helps maintain collagen levels, keeping your skin firm and youthful-looking.
05 Pyunkang Yul Facial essence toner
This toner acts like a moisturiser (which means that you don’t need a separate product for moisturiser). It has 91,3% astragalus root water which is rich in betaine and minerals, this promotes hydration and deep moisture absoroption. It also has milk vetch root extract which improves skin elasticity and barrier function, and could be potentially beneficial for acne-prone skin. All in all, it moisturises and hydrates dry skin and reduces redness of the face.
Remember, be patient and consistent. These products are not miracle products that will give you glowing skin in less that 1 week, you are going to have to have dedication and you have to stick to your skincare routine daily to see results.
