The Truth about Korean Skincare

 

For decades, Japan and France set the standard for luxury skincare. What no one talked about, however, was that the vast majority of French and Japanese brands manufactured their skincare in Korea. 

That knowledge of and fascination with skincare has become a part of Korean life, and the Koreans have developed their own culture and rituals surrounding skincare. If you're familiar with BB creams, sheet masks, and double cleansing techniques, it might surprise you to learn that they were all developed in Korea. 

Korean skincare has become synonymous with multi-step regimens and an obsession with the newest skinceuticals. Korean skincare prioritizes extract-based ingredients that are enhanced to maximize their benefits to the skin's structure. Koreans believe that the best serums penetrate past the skin surface; they're constantly inventing ways to make molecules ever smaller so they can penetrate deeper.

The trouble, though, is that Korean skincare has been difficult to understand for English speakers, which has been a huge barrier for Western consumers. If you buy a Korean sheet mask, its ingredients and directions will be listed in Korean. Some brands aren't sold in America, and it's difficult to know which products are reputable, clean, and effective.

And there's another issue: time. The Western world is always in a hurry, and a 5, 10, or 15-step skincare routine isn't pragmatic at the end of a long day. 

That's why Soon Skincare exists: our aim has been to merge the best of Eastern skin innovations with the Western need for practicality.  

We believe that meaningful skincare penetrates past the skin's surface so it can affect change, repair damaged caused by sun and environmental stressors, and combat fine lines and wrinkles. But we also believe that setting aside 20 or 30 minutes every morning and evening for a skincare regiment just isn't practical. So we've compressed multiple steps into masks that stay on without requiring you to stop your day. 

Dark spots? Use a brightening mask. Parched skin? Use a hydrating sheet mask. Each Soon Skincare product uses ingredient-rich, potent, meticulously crafted serums that make a visible difference immediately and over time. 

We believe that Korean skincare is the best bet for making your skin look healthier and more vibrant. Treat yourself to a Mermaid Collagen Serum and a few masks, and you'll see exactly what we mean.

How to Keep Your Lip Masks Fresh As New | Soon Skincare #soonsociety

Why Micro-Hole Hydrogel Makes a Massive Difference

We formulate each of our products with concentrated ingredients designed to penetrate deeper into the skin, where they can get to work fighting wrinkles and evening texture from the inside out. 

But did you know the way those luxury serums are delivered to your skin is just as important as the formulas themselves? That's where our micro-hole hydrogel makes all the difference.

Adhesion

If you've ever used an inexpensive sheet mask, it probably didn't stick to your face very well. That's because most sheet masks rely on fabric-based materials, and that fabric wasn't designed to adhere to skin. Which means you'll have to lie on your back to keep the mask from slipping.

The micro-holes in Soon Skincare's hydrogel masks act as tiny suction cups that gently seal to skin. We also designed the mask in two sections so the mask wouldn't be as heavy, and by applying the top section after the bottom section, the bottom section of the mask is locked into place. That means you're free to live your life as you treat your skin: read a book, do chores, drive to get coffee, etc. The mask stays adhered to your face without sliding.

Evaporation

Aside from slipping, there's another reason micro-hole hydrogel masks are more effective at supercharging ingredients: they force ingredients deeper into the skin. That's vital for making the greatest difference to skin, since the deeper ingredients can penetrate past the skin's surface, the better they can affect change and improvement. 

Cotton masks, on the other hand, are extremely porous. Even if the serum has a great formulation, it's going to evaporate faster than it can be absorbed by your face. That's a waste of money and time, and it ultimately means, even if you see a slight improvement, that improvement is only on the surface of your skin. Remember that the surface of your skin is continually sloughing off, so improving that outer layer isn't very beneficial.

We spent hundreds of hours measuring faces to perfect the final design of our micro-hole hydrogel masks. They're highly adjustable and can be fit over or below the eyebrows to protect microbladed brows.

Once you've tried a hydrogel face mask, there's simply no going back. And once you've seen the way they improve your skin, you won't want to try anything else.
