So, What is "7 Skin Method"?
This is the KBeauty skincare regimen where you layer toner for 7 times. The idea behind the 7 layers is that the moisture level of the skin can be increased in an effective way without the heaviness or greasiness that may come from traditional creams and oils. It’s also a great way to hydrate all skin types, providing the optimal balance of hydration and skin’s natural oils with a subtle dewy glow and firmer skin.
How does it work?
Let's put it in this way. Let say your skin is like a plant that you haven't water for a month; the soil is very dehydrated, deserted and dry. Once you start pouring water into the soil, all at one; the soil is not going to absorb all the water. Instead, it will just be floating on the surface and staying in that flooded state. I used to have a very dehydrated and dry skin. And I combat with that by putting layers and layers of thick moisturizer, hopping that my skin will be more moisture. However, our skins are not able to soak and absorb it all at once. BUT, if you start layering toner, which is very easy penetrable and easily absorbed into your skin; it will actually going to soak up all those moisture and nutrients from it.
How do you apply the "7 Skin Method"?
- Use no more than a dime's width of the product when you poor it into your palm.
- The best way to start the first layer of toner is to wipe your skin with a cotton pad.
- The second, third, fourth, ... and seventh layers applied by gently patting toner into the skin with your palm. Gently rub two hands together to increase the temperature, then press the skin to complete each step.
- It's very important to give a wait time between each layer; this is to make sure that the toner is deeply absorb into the skin before apply the next layer. Otherwise, the toner is just going to float all over your skin instead of soak in. The ideal waiting time is approximately 2 mins.
- Make sure to seal all the goodies, all the time and effort with a good moisturizer.
- Last but not least! This treatment cannot be in your everyday skincare routine. This method only should used temporary. Once your skin condition go back to balance, you should go back to your normal skincare routines. Otherwise, if you keep doing this method every single day, your skin will be very vulnerable to the outside world and it will not act as a protective barrier as it should be.
The "Go To Toner" When You Apply the "7 Skin Method"
- Please Stay Away from the toners that contain: alcohol, and synthetic fragrances;they will dry out the skin or potentially cause irritation if layered more than once.
- You don't want the toner that too thick inconsistencies. The more fluid, more watery, the better.
#The result!
The thing that I like the most about this method is that I can instantly see the result. I can see that:
- My skin looks dewy, glowy, and extra plumpness
- My skin feel more moisturized. No more dry flakes, or patchiness when i applied foundation. The best thing ever! I used to hunt for the foundation, "the one", that do not make my dry skin look patchier when i applied. Then i realized that it is not all about foundation, it's about the way you deeply hydrate your skin.
