Male K-pop idols have flawless glass skin that makes girls envious. In Korea, "pretty" boys are a thing, since men also look after their skin. Today we share with you skincare tips from some of the prettiest boys in the industry.
These male K-pop idols share their secrets for achieving flawless glass skin:
SEVENTEEN Joshua
The SEVENTEEN member Joshua shared his secret for achieving flawless glass skin, and that's none other than sheet masks. Last time, we wrote an article about the beauty and skincare products used by BTS, and one of the things they always keep on hand is Medi-Heal's sheet mask.
Joshua also said that he never runs out of masks, and he always uses it cold. The singer keeps stocks of it inside his bedroom on a mini-fridge. After a long day at work and after events, he likes to relax by putting on the chilled sheet mask. It's also more refreshing. When asked what mask he uses, he didn't give out a brand, as long as it has aloe and snail mucin extract, he buys it.
- Try: Dermal Korea's Sheet Mask. They have collagen-infused masks with snail musin extracts and aloe vera!
SF9 Hwi Young
The SF9 member Hwi Young shared his secret for flawless glass skin, and that's keeping your face wet after washing it.
After the singer washes his face with a foam cleanser, he immediately pats it with toner and moisturizer. He doesn't dry it off. An American dermatologist, Dr. Friedman, also recommended this tip. He said that to lock in the skin's moisture and prevent irritation, you have to apply lotions and moisturizers while the skin is damp and not dry.
- Try: ETUDE HOUSE's Moistfull Collagen Cream. It's a gel-type moisturizer with 63.4% super collagen water and baobab water which will instantly plump the skin!
ATEEZ Yeosang
ATEEZ member Yeosang shares that he likes to splurge on moisturizers, but his golden tip is, "don't put it everywhere!"
The singer shared that he uses toner all over his face but skips his forehead when applying moisturizer. "I skip the forehead cause I get breakouts as soon I place moisturizer on the area." Some people also leave this kind of comment on product reviews, and this can be true to oil-based moisturizers. That's why if you have oily skin, you're better off with water-based ones.
- Try: Neutrogena Oil-free Moisturizer which is great for sensitive skin!
ATEEZ Wooyoung
Another ATEEZ member Wooyoung shared his secret. This tip dates back to the Joseon era and has since been popular among Koreans — rice water!
"After I wash the rice, I use its water to clean my face." Next time you cook rice, remember Wooyoung's advice, keep the water and splash it all over your face.
- Try: Skin Food Rice Daily Cleansing Tissue. Each wipes is soaked in Cheorwon Odae rice bran water which both refreshes and cleans the face. Whether you're at work, at home, or out in the sun, these no-wash cleansing tissue is perfect for quick cleansing.
ASTRO Rocky
You may have heard of weird skin care tips that work; this is one of those. ASTRO member Rocky shared that his secret to a flawless glass skin is washing his face with contact lens solution. It's a beauty secret that has been passed down in their family. Rocky's mom taught him this advice, and it seems to be working with the singer.
However, dermatologists don't recommend it, as contact lens solutions have different pH than the skin, so it may cause swelling and irritation.
- Try: COSRX Oil-free Ultra-Moisturizing Lotion with Birch Sap. This oil-free moisturizer provides extreme hydration to the face and contains 70% willow bark water or birch sap which contains tons of antioxidants and is safe on the skin!
