News India Live, Digital Desk: Whenever we see Korean women on TV or social media, only one thought comes to our mind, “Man, how come their skin shines like glass?” It is known as ‘Glass Skin’ all over the world. We apply many expensive products, yet that thing does not come. After all, what does she do so special?
The answer to this is not a very expensive cream, but a special way of washing their face, which is ‘4-2-4 rule’ It is said. This may sound like a bit of mathematics, but if you understand it and do it even twice a week, your skin can be transformed. Let us know what it is and how it works.
What is this 4-2-4 Korean rule?
This is a ’10 minute’ facial cleansing process, divided into three parts:
1. First 4 minutes: Oily Massage (Deep Cleaning)
We often apply face wash and wash our face within 10 seconds, which is the biggest mistake. According to this rule, for the first 4 minutes you have to massage your face gently with a good ‘cleansing oil’.
- Why is this important? The sebum on our face and the dirty oil from makeup can be cut only with oil. This 4-minute massage loosens blackheads and increases blood circulation, making the face glow from within.
2. Next 2 Minutes: Foaming Cleanser (Foaming Action)
Do not pour water directly after oil massage. Now you have to clean the face with a gentle ‘foam base’ face wash for 2 minutes. It removes the stickiness of oil and deep dirt accumulated in the pores. This completely removes dust and sweat from the face.
3. Last 4 minutes: Rinsing with water (The Rinsing Trick)
This is where the real game lies! The last 4 minutes of washing your face are most important:
- First 2 minutes: You have to wash your face with lukewarm water. It helps in keeping the pores clean.
- Remaining 2 minutes: You have to wash your face with very ‘cold’ water. Cold water tightens the pores and locks the moisture in the face.
Does it really work?
It may sound like 10 minutes is a bit much time to wash your face, but people who are following it say that the dullness of their skin is completely gone. This not only keeps the face hydrated but also reduces the problem of wrinkles and acne to a great extent.
an important advice
If your skin is very sensitive, try it two or three times a week instead of daily. And yes, do not forget to apply a good moisturizer immediately after washing your face.
So, now you too leave the hassle of expensive machines and facials and try this desi version of Korean beauty at home. After all everyone wants glow!
