Korean soap is used in a similar way to any other soap. Here's a general guide:
- Wet your face: Wet your face with warm water to open your pores.
- Lathering: Rub the soap between your hands until a thick lather forms.
- Facial massage: Massage the foam onto your face in gentle circular motions, avoiding the eye and lip area.
Many Korean soaps, especially those used for body care, are designed for exfoliation. They may contain ingredients like charcoal, coffee grounds, or pumice. If your soap is exfoliating, you may want to use it with a Korean bath mitt to enhance the scrubbing action.
Tips for using Korean soap:
- Follow up with a moisturizer: Korean skincare emphasizes hydration, so after washing with soap, it's important to apply a moisturizer to help keep your skin soft and supple.
- Consider using a Korean bath mitt: These mitts are often used with Korean soaps for exfoliation.
- Look for specific instructions: Some Korean soaps may have specific instructions for use. Read the packaging carefully before using them.
