SEASON STORY: Spring Freshness.

Fresh, Light and Protected: these are the three characteristics of healthy skin in spring. In fact, as we wrote last week, the skin changes so that it can respond to changes in the surrounding environment. So with the days getting longer, and the temperatures rising, even though we are still in full conscious isolation, it’s time to change our routine. Today we focus on refreshing the skin, before hydrating it with seasonal products and protecting it from the sun’s rays. The two words? Cleansing and exfoliation. But there’s so much more.

Cleansing and Exfoliation: a New Ideal of Freshness.

If we were to summarize Miloon’s approach to Korean cosmetics in a maxim, we would say that it consists of a routine of important gestures of love capable of reaching deep down… “from skin to the heart”.

 And the first of these gestures of love coincide with the step of cleansing and exfoliation, the key to always healthy fresh skin, and therefore by definition perfect. Fresh skin is skin that is deeply cleansed, radiant and well smoothed, ready to receive the products of the routine you are going to apply.

Washing your face once doesn’t get rid of all the dirt. You need to make sure that the layer of sebum, sunscreen and makeup separate, so that the ingredients of the products act. The best Korean dermatologists say that acne, excess sebum production and other skin problems could be eliminated with proper cleansing. Never forget these daily rituals with your skin, to make it always beautiful.

That’s why Double Cleansing or Double Cleansing, is one of those secrets that Korean women use to obtain the so-called Glass Skin, the legendary always perfect skin that resembles porcelain and has always distinguished these people. In fact, by alternating an oily detergent and then a water-based one, Double Cleansing pushes cleaning towards new highs, because it manages in two steps to get rid of the two macro groups of impurities: hydrophobic and hydrophilic ones.

Double Cleansing is a must in any beauty regime dedicated to healthy skin. Remember to do it at least twice a day, usually once in the morning and once in the evening, then continue with the other steps. During the cleansing, remember to use lots of sweetness. Massage dry skin with circular movements, add lukewarm water to emulsify and at the end, rinse everything.

But a total cleansing, however deep, might not be enough without a deep exfoliation, the second step of the Korean skincare routine. This is of paramount importance, as it helps to remove dead skin cells on its surface. Spring is the perfect time to renew and refresh the skin and let the skin be ready to react to the new warm and bright weather of the summer.

Exfoliated and healthy.

In fact, our skin continuously generates new cells from the lower layers that move to the surface as they age. As we age, our body takes longer to eliminate skin cells and generate new ones. When the old skin cells rise to the surface, they leave the skin dull, rough and dry. This accumulation of dead skin cells can cause an excess of oil that can clog pores causing blackhead blemishes and acne.

Restores the youthful, soft and luminous appearance by removing the dead cells that have settled on the surface and making the freshest and youngest cells hidden underneath re-emerge. This allows the skin care products of the next steps to penetrate deeper, helping to turn off skin tone even more,
