Double cleansing is the method that Korean women follow to cleanse their skin. This helps in removing all traces of makeup as well as the dirt that may collect on your face during the day.

• Pre-cleanse

Moisturizing:

Koreans use a light moisturizer on their face and this helps in giving them a soft skin. They take it on the tips of their fingers and massage on the skin in gentle circular motions. This helps in increasing the blood circulation and allows the moisturizer to blend well into the skin, so that your skin is not left greasy.

Fermented yeast, snail mucin and green tea are some of the common ingredients used for face masks. They apply this face mask two times in a week. This is followed with a facial massage. This helps in increasing blood circulation providing the skin a healthy glow.
