- Honestly if someone told me rubbing cow shit
on your face would get rid of acne.
I'd be like, "Let's split the Uber to the nearest farm."
(edgy techno music)
- We're trying Korean Skin Care for a week.
- I am pretty obsessed with all skin care products.
I'd say most of my money goes towards that.
- I have combination skin.
Dry on my cheeks, and completely oily everywhere else.
- I have been getting random breakouts since
I was about 19, 20.
I just don't want acne anymore, come at me.
I'm ready to be a K-pop Star.
- I'm Dr. Annie Chiu and I am a dermatologist.
Korean women are very, very committed
to beauty and skin care.
Everyone's heard by now about these 10 to 12 step
Korean skin care rituals because they really enjoy
and feel like they're taking care of themselves
really inside and outside.
- Oh, oh.
- Oh shit.
- That's a lot.
- A two-step cleansing ritual or double cleansing
basically you wash your face,
first with like oil-based cleanser
which takes off eye makeup, eyeshadow.
- I'm Lauren Conrad in my home right now.
(Cissy laughing) (Sheridan sobbing)
- Then you follow it with a secondary step
that cleanses the more organic residues
that are on your face
while leaving it still really sort of
pH balanced and nourished
without stripping it of all its natural oils.
- Do you hear this?
- I know we're literally churning butter.
- I'm making butter.
- Oh my god you go crazy. - It's so foamy.
- Acne prone skin tends to run a little bit oilier.
You wanna look for exfoliating products
or products that have Retinoids.
These products turn over the skin a little bit faster
which prevents pore clogging, and dissolves dead cells.
- I feel like a puppy is just rubbing
its body against my face.
Time for toner, let's do this.
- Let's tone it up.
- They may be in Korean skin care as well,
but they tend to have slightly more gentle formulations
because Asian skin is more irritable.
- It smells so good.
Essence for you, serum for me.
- An Essence typically is a little bit lighter in texture.
It usually doesn't have a very high concentration
of active ingredients, but more it's
about rebalancing the skin.
- Mine doesn't smell like anything.
- Well you just got really good smelling ones
for the last two so just calm down.
- A serum is a super potent step in a skin care regimen.
- Oh.
- That's nice.
- Oh, that smells like, suede. - Yeah.
- You do end up stripping the skin of its natural pH
so they'll have multiple steps just to reestablish that pH.
- Bringing out the Baskin Robbins sample spoon.
- Should we go get ice cream, let's go get some ice cream.
- Let's get ice cream.
- We deserve it, this was a lot of work.
- There's also a much heavier emphasis on
sunscreens and SPFs which is probably why they
continue to maintain looking so fabulous.
- It's super like watery which I'm a fan of.
- That was long, but there's more.
Bring on the mask, thank you, thank you.
- Sheet masks are kind of a like a cheat way of getting
high quality ingredients in really quick
is based around an occlusive effect.
So whenever the skin has an ingredient on it
driving the ingredients deeper into the skin.
- I love this, it's gonna be like a nice solid 30 minutes.
- I'm looking forward to this week,
but if I ever wake up late this is gonna be a problem.
- Let's do it.
- Let go.
- The fact that the routine is so long
had its pros and cons.
I'm home, and I'm very tired,
and now I have to do like a
fucking 20 minute skin care routine.
- Let's talk about how long it takes
to double cleanse am and pm.
I literally can't, that's just too much time.
Definitely woke up late this morning
and I have to go through my entire Korean beauty routine
before I head out.
I'm going to be even more late than I am already.
So that' great, but at least I'm taking care of my skin.
You know.
- Loves the mask.
I was like a rave on my face.
Usually like sheet masks are very soothing and moisturizing.
It feels minty, my face is tingling.
- Pumping that little whipping maker every morning
was the most monotonous, but like weirdly satisfying
moment of my morning and night routine.
- I noticed how a lot of like my little bumps
started to clear up.
My face feels so glowy right now, that mask was bomb.
- One thing that I really am excited about using more often
were the sheet masks that we had.
The directions recommended putting it in the 'frigerator
beforehand so that it would be cold.
And it was the most refreshing feeling ever.
- It has been a week, it was a very long week.
Mostly because I suddenly had to do
like five hours worth of skin care.
- Definitely found out that my routine isn't as extensive
as I thought it was compared to the Korean version.
- I noticed as the week progressed
that a lot of my acne
was kinda going away.
- I've really noticed overall color correction.
The redness and the patchiness of my skin has evened out,
but I'm very excited to get back to my old routine
and just incorporate the sunscreen and the sheet masks
every once in awhile.
- I'm definitely gonna keep doing it.
My face has never been cleaner.
Oreo, do you think I look like J.Lo?
Say nothing if I look like J.Lo.
Oh.
I don't need a Halloween costume next year.
I'm just gonna go as a slutty bear.
