korean celeb beauty secrets

[Guest Imey]

Hmmm...for some people it's natural for them to have clear skin like my friend's sister-in-law. She's a total white queen that even a white paper can not be compared to her. She's half chinese and half hmong. By the way, she doesn't use any products.

environment...

man i need to go to korea

[Guest kekhang]

wait.. okay..

so now that we have frozen green tea.. what do we do with it?

put it on your face?! haha.. i don't know..

drink with them?

:[

im confused

and it looks like they have no pores at all! how do you get your pores so small?

[Guest pintsized]

Wow those videos were good! Lee Junki is so beautiful T_T

So erm, this has been asked a ton of times already and I guess no one knows, but where can you get the Silkworm Cocoon Powder? And the lady didn't put it directly on his face, it was over guaze (it seems like it should be a specific kind?), I wonder if that means putting it directly on your face is bad?

*Towel exercising*

[Guest kee]

sleeep, drink more water. take more vitamins have a balanced diet wahaha.. have a skincare regime, exercise and stay happy. oh wells those artists have an entourage of pple to help them with their grooming and styling. thats why they look so good all the time.

LIVE IN KOREA! DON'T LIVE ANYWHERE ELSE!

o_o Really? I went to Korea once, and I tasted their water... ugh... It was just about the sickest thing ever. o_O

[Guest autumnyaar]

I wish I could find that Silkworm Cocoon Powder.. they don't seem to have it in the US.

I freeze green tea into ice cubes sometimes and use them on my face since I saw it in the LJK video, and it really does work.

I also saw an ad once with the actress from the movie Innocent Steps, and she freezes green tea bags and then puts them on her face.

two words: WATER POISONING

if you drink too much water you can die, like that woman from that radio show contest in norcal (er, or reno maybe? sacramento? i forget) who died from drinking too much water

I thought she died because she didn't pee. The contest was about drinking like a lot of water and seeing who could go the longest without peeing. She did it for the money to buy like a wii for her kids, but then...well, wasn't the smartest thing to do, but still incredibly tragic.

EDIT--//

Yeah, water intoxication from not peeing. Gotcha.

[Guest luvxholic]

my skin gets so much better when i'm in korea...i think it has something to do with the water and also the humidity helps my skin cause it's so dry sighh i wish my skin was like that here

[Guest wins]

lol. we're all too vain.

I think wonderful skin can be achieved by

enough rest and sleep

water

healthy food

exercise > sweat

climate/weather

sun protection

vitamins

living in a less polluted place

beauty productsss (natural/commercial/mixed)

visits to dermatologsits/specialists

emotional factors

[Guest sammy]

here's a tip that i picked up onine @ daum, it's what a lot of stars do:

Boil water (or just get hot water from the bath tub) and put a green tea bag in it, making hot green tea in a big basin.

Let it cool a bit, so that you don't burn yourself!!

Then use that to wash your face/wherever you want. Scrub, Scrub, SCrub!!

Washing your face this way will really clean out your pores, and celebs like KimNamjoo use this method a lot.

Another tip for when you have a swollen face in the morning:

Freeze green tea in little ice cubicles (just put green tea into an ice maker thingy)

and use it to massage your face in the morning. It will really put down the swelling, much faster than just using regular ice.

I know this sounds way too simple, but supposedly it's really good for your skin. Washing your face with green tea is supposed to make it clearer and nicer.

I know lots of stars do it, and the ice swelling thing I got from LeeJunKi, he supposedly does it A LOT, b/c his face swells really easily in the mornings.

hope that helped somewhat, i'll try to post some other stuff later

[Guest blue_shoe]

Stop BEING SO NAIVE of what you see. They have ton of make-up done professionally to make it look like natural perfect skin. Also, the lighting makes them look like they have no blemishes and stuffs.

LIVE IN KOREA! DON'T LIVE ANYWHERE ELSE!

lol

I used 2 live in saudi arabia, my skin was soooooooooooooooooooooo clear. I moved 2 the states and like 5 months later I started breaking out and my hair started acting funny...ugh sux.

I drink more than 8 glasses of water a day, green tea and the whole thing. I have yet to see my skin look like it used 2 I guess It takes time..*gosh its been 6 months*

[Guest]

one word. environment. i lived in korea for around half an year for vacation.

ALL my ACNE & red-blotchiness disappeared. btw, the water tastes disgusting but it really is healthy for your skin 0_0;; (esp. in natural water springs and mountains...but it`s healthiest there)

i spit the water back out the first few times -__-;;;

i come back to america. back to square one. >___<;;;

i`m going back soon. =))))))

plus// most people walk/take the bus in korea. we, americans, are really spoiled and we take cars EVERYWHERE. haha. yes, i`m guilty of that.

[Guest RainFan4ever]

Celebs r human..they have bad time and good time...like some1 in here said great hairstylist, wardrobe, and they have money it's their job to look good, they "have to look good." Don't believe in everything you see on t.v, posters, magazines. Some of them born w/ good look already some aren't really but the right make-up bn the right hair can atually improve how a person looks.

[Guest mango012]

there are lots of reasons:

1. korea along with other parts of asia has good water that comes from naturally flowing springs from the mountains.

2. korean weather- humidity makes your skin dewy

3. skincare products are inexpensive and accessible to everyone.

4. sauna

my cousins visited from korea...and i was in awe of their skin. it was seriously moist and dewy and perfect.. lol i was very jealous. even my guy cousin!! in korea, girls and guys pay attention to their skin.

[Guest grllprops]

they're called 번대기, the silkworm cocoon things.

& it's not POWDER, it's just silkworm cocoons which are found in us in many asian stores.

you grind them so they become a powder substance.

[Guest changsta]

i seriously think the water in asia is better than the water in other countries. i went to taiwan last summer and my skin cleared up like crazy there. it has to be the water.... even thou they do have extremely acid rain. lol..

[Guest xskies]

:X whats a gauze for the silkworm thing?

is it like a face mask? >.< cuz i dunno where to buy it XD

--

:T it has to be green tea leaves? we just wash it on our face like water? cuz how can we scrub with that lol
