The Origin of the 7-Skin Method
The name "7-Skin Method" may sound a bit unusual, but it has its roots in Korea, where toners are called "skins" (스킨). In essence, it's a 7-Toner Method! It involves applying up to seven layers of toner between your cleanser and moisturizer—yes, seven layers! Crazy, right? But hear us out: with all that air conditioning and central heating zapping our moisture, our skin craves deep hydration. So, really, we're just doing our skin a huge favor!
The Magic of Layering
It might seem unconventional, but there's undeniable magic in this method. Many were skeptical at first, but the results speak for themselves. The concept is simple: when you apply multiple skincare products at once, your skin might not absorb them fully. This method flips the script! By layering on thin, hydrating layers of toner (or essence), your skin can gradually absorb each layer, maximizing hydration and achieving ultimate plumpness.
What is Toner and Why It's Important
Before diving into the nitty-gritty, let's talk toner. This liquid hero applied after cleansing helps balance your skin's pH, hydrates, and preps it for the rest of your skincare routine. The 7-Skin Method is basically a supercharged way to reap all those toner benefits.
Do's and Don'ts
For maximum glow-up potential, follow these tips:
-
Choose the Right Toner
Choose a hydrating and gentle toner, free of alcohol and harsh chemicals. Look for calming ingredients like hyaluronic acid. Avoid toners with heavy hitters like Vitamin C, Retinol, AHA, and BHA, as these can be too strong for multiple layers. Consistency matters too! If your toner feels rich, it might leave you greasy. Opt for a lighter, runnier formula if needed.
-
Customize According to Your Skin's Needs
Despite the name, seven isn't a magic number. Some might find their skin happy after fewer layers, and that's totally okay! As for frequency, you can incorporate the 7-Skin Method into your daily or nightly routine based on your preferences. The main rule is to tune in to your skin and adjust accordingly.
-
Ensure Proper Absorption Between Layers
Like the adage, “Patience is a virtue”, let each layer absorb before applying the next. Remember, it's about soaking up goodness, not piling on product. Rushing through the layers defeats the purpose and might overwhelm your skin.
-
Lock in the Moisture
After completing the 7-Skin Method, seal the deal by locking in all the moisture with a moisturizer. For nighttime routines, consider adding a facial oil for extra oomph.
