Reader Query: Out of all the sweetness suggestions you’ve got discovered from Ok-pop stars, which of them have you ever really tried?

Over the previous three years, dozens of Ok-pop stars have entrusted me their skin-care secrets and techniques to me. At occasions, they make me cringe. (Sure, I am you, Rocky, and your contact-solution-as face-wash trick.) Different occasions, I readily incorporate their suggestions into my very own skin-care routine.

The highest trick is just not carrying make-up longer than you must. A number of idols, together with TWICE’s Jeongyeon, have instructed me they take off all their glitz and glam as quickly as they’re accomplished performing. I now do about the identical. As quickly as I step into my condominium after work, I am going to my toilet to double cleanse, which can be Ok-pop stars’ most well-liked technique of make-up elimination. I am positive lots of them have a pore-clogging ideology behind doing this, however for me, taking off my make-up is a calming ritual after an extended day.

Toner has additionally turn into an absolute important. Almost everybody I’ve interviewed has instructed me they seize their favourite toner proper after washing their face. Some, like SF9’s Hwi Younger and TWICE’s Nayeon, even skip drying off their faces and go straight to firming.

Like Monsta X’s Kihyun, I wish to pat on the Cosrx Propolis Synergy Toner. Or if my pores and skin is breaking out, I soak cotton pads in Then I Met You’s Birch Milk Refining Toner and slap them onto my hassle spots like a fast pore-clearing sheet masks à la KARD’s Jiwoo.

Reader Query: What do [K-pop stars] do after they have a shock pimple on an enormous day?

The best treatment I’ve encountered is stick on pimple patches. (I am a fan of Hero Cosmetics’ May Patch Invisible+.) As soon as, I used to be backstage with Pentagon, and one of many members had a cluster of pimples stickers alongside his jawline. As soon as he went on stage, you could not even see them beneath the intense lights.

Nobody has ever admitted this to me, however I’ve a sense many idols get cortisone pictures for shock pimples. Whereas in Seoul not too long ago, I visited a dermatology clinic many stars frequent and never solely get this intel but additionally bought a few pictures for myself after breaking out from the 14-hour flight. The injections have been extremely painful, however the cystic pimples on my cheeks have been gone very quickly.
