K-Pop Skin Care Tips: How to Look Like Your Favorite K-Pop Idol

It's no secret that K-Pop idols are famous for their flawless skin and perfect makeup. Even without all the layers of product, their face still shines with hardly any pimples in sight. 

Read more on how you can get your skin looking shiny to perfection through these skin care tips shared by your favorite idols.

Korean skin care is popular for its double cleansing method and multiple layers of toner. 

To break that down, many Koreans, especially idols, start off with an oil-based cleanser and then a water-based cleanser ensuring all makeup, dirt, and any other residue is removed from their face. Some use a cleaning device to help wash their face. 

A toner is often applied next, which creates a hydrating base and balances the skin’s pH level. More often than not, essence is applied, which acts as a moisture primer helping the other skincare products work effectively. 

Moisturizer and facial oil follow this. You can’t forget the iconic face mask which helps the skin glow, hydrate and soothe inflammation or irritation.

Jihyo from TWICE starts her routine with a dedicated eye makeup remover followed by cleansing milk for its gentleness on dry skin making sure she avoids harsh oil-based cleansers. Instead, she opts for a refreshing water-based cleanser. 

Her priority is hydrating her skin using toner, essence, and moisturizer. To seal the deal, she throws in some facial oil for that extra plump and poreless glow.

Momo reveals that her nighttime skin care routine varies daily. 

She typically starts by cleansing her face with a cleansing device followed by wiping a toner pad all over her face, one that covers hydration, brightening, and smoothing in one go. 

She finishes off with lotion and indulges in a soothing sleeping mask, to ensure a night of deep hydration without the risk of waking up with redness.

Joy from Red Velvet begins her nightly routine with a double cleanse, opting for an oil cleanser and cleansing foam. 

After a moisturizing mask session, she takes it up a notch with toner and a trendy bubble toner, dabbing on a moisturizing ampoule and targeting breakouts with a spot treatment. 

Joy finishes strong with a layered application of moisturizer, barrier cream, and a sleeping mask for intense hydration.

Shuhua from (G)-IDLE is famous for her flawless skin even without makeup. 

She begins her nighttime skin care routine by washing her face with an electric cleansing brush followed by an at-home facial pressing a hot towel onto her skin to open up her pores. 

Now that her skin is prepped to absorb the rest of her routine, she pats on some toner and essence. Finally, she applies moisturizer and lip balm.

Baekhyun from EXO keeps it simple and begins his skin care routine by double cleansing. 

He follows with toner and then finishes with lotion and moisturizer.

Felix from STRAY KIDS double cleanses his face using an oil cleanser and cleansing foam. 

He then follows a three-step moisturizing process. He begins with a spray on acidic cream and then applies brightening and anti-wrinkle cream. 

Lastly, he puts on bubbling lotion and finishes it off with some face mist.

Of course, on top of all of these products and complex routines, K-Pop idols regularly see beauty clinics to get laser treatments and injections to ensure beautiful glowing skin. 

Don’t be discouraged if you’re not seeing results despite following their skin care tips. K-Pop idols have spent thousands to look perfect and flawless most of the time and often do extra work that goes into that. 

You can still apply their skin care tips to get that flawless-looking skin. Make sure to adjust your own skin care routine as needed to meet your glass skin goals.
