South Korea is undeniably one of the countries that leads when it comes to men’s skincare. In fact, this movement has become so mainstream around the world that you can regularly spot Korean male celebrities endorsing various popular Korean skincare brands.
Are you curious about how Korean male idols and celebrities achieve flawless skin? Look no further, here are some of Korea’s most popular male celebrities’ skincare tips:
“Use sheet masks, but not longer than 20 minutes”1
Song Joong Ki has eternally radiant and youthful glowing skin by using sheet masks daily. However, he takes special care not to wear them beyond 20 minutes each time, as the mask would start drying out – drawing away moisture from the skin and resulting in a drying effect instead!
“Use plenty of foam cleanser and be gentle”2
He sings, writes songs, and acts. It seems kind of unfair that Seo In Guk also has flawless skin to go with that. His secret is, surprisingly, a ready-to-use foaming cleanser that already comes lathered up, paired together with him not applying too much pressure when massaging it all over his face. He uses seven pumps of cleanser each time (yes, seven!), and claims that it deeply cleanses his face and makes his skin feel revitalised at the same time.
“Practice a daily 5-step cleansing method”3
The amazingly talented leader of the boy band Super Junior, Leeteuk, swears by a daily five-step cleansing method that keeps his skin flawless and camera ready. His method starts with the a makeup remover, followed by cleansing oil, foam cleanser, and a deep clean with a facial cleansing tool before finishing off with the application of essence and moisturiser.
“Keep the skin hydrated with toner and double the lotion”4
While the Bangtan Boys are busy setting airwaves on fire with their music, Kim “V” Taehyung still takes the time to make sure his skin is properly taken care of with one of the most important aspects of skincare: hydration. He keeps his skin hydrated and moisturised by using cotton pads that are damp with toner and gently dabbing them all over his face. A bonus tip: he uses twice as much lotion to keep things moist and supple!
“Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen!”5
Ever tuned into Twenty-Five Twenty-One, and wished you had skin that looks as good as Nam Joo-hyuk? The secret behind this model-turned-actor’s amazing looks is that he emphasises the use of sunscreen! That means using enough sunscreen every single day, and even applying it every few hours to make sure his skin is adequately protected. He definitely takes sun protection very seriously!
