TAIWANESE BEAUTY: The Eastern part of the world is a goldmine for skincare enthusiasts. From detailed and meticulous skincare routines to the use of really unexpected ingredients and tools, their take on beauty never fails to leave us pleasantly surprised. Well, the latest country to be influencing skincare trends the world over is Taiwan.
1. What exactly is T-beauty?
The main difference between K-beauty and T-beauty is that the later is a lot less complex and time-consuming. (Busy girls, rejoice!) Taiwanese beauty is more deeply rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and incorporates the use of natural yet potent ingredients for amazing results.
2. The T-beauty skincare steps
1. Cleanse
Just like everywhere else, Taiwanese women always start their skincare routine by thoroughly getting rid of all the dirt, makeup, sweat and oil that may have accumulated on the face. They use cleansers with natural ingredients like soy milk, white tea, bamboo extracts, etc. to not just cleanse away the impurities, but also leave the skin feeling super soft, supple and elastic.
2. Toner
Taiwanese women know the importance of toner in their skincare routine and use it post-cleansing without fail. Enriched with ingredients like tea tree oil, hyaluronic acid and a host of plant extracts, these toners help to prevent breakouts, regulate sebum production and help other skincare products penetrate the skin better.
3. Moisturise
The secret to soft and supple skin that is a trademark of Taiwanese women is regular moisturizing. They use a pea-sized amount right after toner to hydrate, nourish and condition their skin. They also believe that a thin layer of hydration preps the skin to soak in all the goodness from the sheet mask to follow.
