How Do K-Pop Idols Take Care Of Their Hands?

“It is in your hands to create a better world for all who live in it.”

It is not a secret that K-Pop Idols have flawless skin not only on their face but in their hands also. That’s why it is not surprising that they have a skincare routine for their hands.

Your favourite K-pop idols know that even though hands are often overlooked they carry a lot of stress on them and they are some of the first to show signs of aging. Be like them and treat your hands to some regular TLC here is a fantastic hand care routine.

Step 1 Exfoliate

The most common cause of dry, cracked skin is a thick outer layer. Hands are constantly exposed to the sun, cold air, wind, dirt, chemicals, and more and this can damage this layer accelerating dryness and aging.

Exfoliation can help get rid of dead skin build-up. You can use Secret Key Lemon Sparkling Peeling Gel to slough off dead skin as it naturally exfoliates the skin without causing harm, stress, dryness, thinning or vulnerability. It can also be used on your face as it is perfect for sensitive skin.

It is important to exfoliate your hands at least once a week just like EXO’s Baekhyun does.

Step 2 Use a Serum

As you might already know Korean skincare routine is famous for applying anti-aging skincare products to the face, so you can massage those anti-aging serums onto the top of your hands too.

Try to apply a serum to massage into your hands that has vitamin C such as iUnik Propolis Vitamin Synergy Serum that is formulated with antioxidants and it helps protect the surface of your skin from the sun damage while also working to brighten dark spots.

Step 3 Get Rid Of The Cuticle Clutters

To have beautiful hands such as K-pop idol Red Velvet Seulgi is important to get rid of the cuticle cutter and use a cuticle cream oil instead. You have to keep in mind that cutting your cuticles would only make them grow tougher and more broken especially if it is not done properly.

Remember, if you want healthy and long nails, you need to start taking care of your cuticles, as they are like the root of your nail. To take care of them just use cuticle oil or cream and gently push back your cuticles occasionally.

Step 4 Apply Hand Cream

K-pop sensation EXID Hani number one tip for youthful-looking hands is to apply creamy hand cream or lotion. The difference between body lotions and hand creams is that hand creams are often thicker in texture to work on the rougher areas of your hands.

Your best strategy is to keep a bottle of Tony Moly Peach Hand Cream near your sink and apply after washing your hands. If it is possible to have one in your handbag and your office to make sure you are ever without moisture.

Tony Moly Peach Hand Cream is enriched with peach and apricot extracts that promotes skin elasticity and hydrated skin while providing powerful anti-wrinkle effects. Plus, it has a deliciously sweet scent that smells heavenly once applied, uplifting a beautiful fragrance for hours.

Step 5 Slip Your Hands Into Cotton Overnight Gloves

Once a week, after you exfoliate, treat your hands to deep conditioning by massaging a skincare oil such as argan oil and then seal the moisture by using overnight gloves. Using overnight gloves helps retain the moisture all night, so you can wake up with incredibly soft hands.

If you don’t have cotton overnight gloves you can wrap your hands in plastic wrap and cover them with a pair of fuzzy socks.

Step 6 Use Sunscreen

Don’t forget to ALWAYS use a sunscreen of at least SPF 15 or higher on your hands in the morning and throughout the day as needed. Re-apply the sunscreen every time you wash your hands. Applying sunscreen is very important, especially when you are driving as the sun is the number one cause of sunburns, sunspots, premature signs of skin aging and even cancer.

Apply Etude House Sunprise Must Daily Lotion. This highly protective formula comprising organic and inorganic UV filters that thoroughly shield your skin from harmful UV rays. Additionally, it also provides a soothing moisturising effect, hydrating dry and damaged skin from sun exposure.
