ASIAN BEAUTY SECRETS Korea Introduced the World to BB and CC Creans

Sheet Masks

Do you ever notice how Asian women have the most beautiful, porcelain skin? If you assume this is all because of genes then you are totally wrong. Asian women actually work quite diligently to achieve that perfect skin, and take a different approach to makeup than we do on the Western side. In Eastern cultures, skincare is a part of their culture, and while the American approach to skincare is more reactive (like, “Oh my god is that a wrinkle forming!? I need a eye cream!”), Asian women start being proactive from a very young age and treat their skin and complexion like the ultimate investment. It is not just financial investment but a time investment. So although you might be following a strict cleansing and moisturizing regime every night before going to bed, but you are still not even coming close to some important steps that Asian cultures use to help them achieve that spotless, beauty.

When Korea’s BB Cream craze expanded (or rather, exploded) into the U.S. in 2011, we were suddenly made aware of just how far ahead of the skincare game Asia was in terms of both innovation and technology. Since then, we’ve seen other Asian beauty products, like CC Creams and sheet masks, introduced to America..

The 10 Step Asian Beauty Routine 1.Pre­Cleanse: Using a makeup remover to take off makeup around the eyes 2. Cleanse: Using a gentle facewash 3. Exfoliate: 2 times a week 4. Tone: Daily after cleansing 5. Essence: Use a hydrating mist or B5 hydration serum after toning.

Sheet Masks: Skin Care’s Newest Beauty Obsession If you haven’t gotten on the sheet mask trend yet, they are facial masks usually made of paper, fabric or gel, and are infused with all types of hydrating, brightening and anti­aging ingredients. When placed on the skin for the designated amount of time, it gives the skin an insta­facial. The beauty of the masks is that they can be a luxury treatment in a spa as part of a facial or they can be applied at home While the trend of snapping selfies in a sheet mask is new (and really fun), sheet masks themselves have long been a staple in Asian skin care. It just took us a while to figure out how awesome they are. Now that we know, we're obsessed. They brighten, hydrate, and refresh skin like nothing else.

KEEP SMILING Article and Makeup by Ming (MUA) SMILES ARE CONTAGIOUS! REALLY!! SCIENTIFIC STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT PEOPLE HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME MAINTAINING A FROWN WHEN THOSE AROUND THEM WERE SMILING. THEIR BODIES REACT, THEIR FACIAL MUSCLES TWITCHING INTO SMILE OF THEIR OWN. IT ACTUALLY TAKES MORE EFFORT AND MUSCLES TO FROWN. * SMILING BOOSTS YOUR MOOD : STUDIES BY BOTH AMERICAN AND BRITISH DENTAL HEALTH FOUNDATIONS SHOWED THAT THE ACT OF SMILING DRAMATICALLY IMPROVED MOOD. IT INCREASES HAPPINESS NOT ONLY IN OURSELVES BUT IN THOSE AROUND US. ENDORPHINS COME INTO PLAY HERE, TOO! SMILING TRICKS YOUR MOOD INTO BEING MORE POSITIVE BECAUSE THE MUSCLES WE USE TO SMILE TIES INTO HOW THE BRAIN ASSESSES MOOD. * WE ARE DRAWN TO THOSE WHO SMILE: THERE'S AN ATTRACTION THAT HAPPENS WHEN WE SEE A SMILING, HAPPY, FACE! THE SMILE DRAWS US IN. WE WANT TO GET TO KNOW THE SMILER. WE WANT TO SHARE IN THE GOOD FEELING THEY POSSESS. * SMILING CHANGES YOUR VOICE: WHEN WE SMILE WE PROJECT A MORE WELCOMING WARMER TONE TO THOSE THAT ARE LISTENING. OUR VOICES CONVEY THAT FEELING, EVEN IF THE PERSON WE'RE TALKING TO CANNOT SEE US. SMILING WHILE TALKING ON THE PHONE ENSURES A MORE POSITIVE AND HAPPIER CONVERSATION.
