Emily Ratajkowski is Crazy About K-Beauty Secret, So We Tried It

Here we are, once again, spilling the beans about celebrity secrets. Because let’s face it, celebs like Emily Ratajkowski who have flawless skin, don’t get it without working on it. They try products from different brands and let’s be honest, a lot of them are just commissioned and might not actually get you any results. 

And that’s where we come in. Which is why in this segment of our blogs, we only get you the most authentic and tried out skincare regimens and products that celebrities have tried before.

Why K-Beauty?

Today, we tried a couple of different K-beauty products suggested by Emily Ratajkowski, our fav model. If you are just as crazy about skin care as we are, and still don’t know about the superiority of Korean skincare products, then we can’t be friends (kidding, bestie). 

But, seriously, if you want glowing, dewy, and healthy 24/7 skin like the celebs, you should finally dip your toes into K-beauty.

Korean skincare has been taking over the world with its blend of traditional wisdom and cutting-edge science.

Snail Mucin

Snail Mucin heals and regenerates the skin cells, while also being a great defense against whiteheads and uneven complexion.

Emily Ratajkowski, known for not only her next gen modeling, but also her views on sexual expression, first posted about snail mucin on her instagram story in 2020.

Yes, you guessed it right, it’s the Snail Music Essence from COSRX. It has been gaining well-deserved recognition since the lockdown, especially from influencers and celebrities alike. At first, it looked like a marketing ploy.

But then, one day, Emily Ratajkowski, while replying to a Q&A on her instagram story, posted the COSRX essence. The question asked was, “What’s your skincare routine?”

Our Experience with COSRX Snail Mucin

We tried the COSRX Snail Mucin Essence, and the results can be seen within days of starting use. 

• The essence clears up your complexion and works best for acne.
• It targets whiteheads and clears them effectively.

You can apply two pumps of the COSRX Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence after cleansing and toning, and before serums and moisturizer. It can be applied both at night and day.

Emily’s Full Routine

Providing more information, she followed up with: 

“So my skin freaked out at the beginning of quarantine but now I’m using Dr Loretta cleanser, this amazing snail [product] – yes snail – then I put a retinol on.”

Retinol

Bringing us to our next point: Retinol. According to Emily, it is another way to address skin that has “freaked out” and works just as effectively as snail slime. 

Not exactly a Korean beauty secret, this anti-aging holy grail should be inculcated into your routine—even if you’re only 18 years old!

Yes, you read that right. There’s a common misconception that retinol, or any anti-aging products should only be used by people above 29-years-old. But, even if you’re using it in moderation, you should start using it early on. 

Korean Anti-Aging Wisdom

One of the key secrets of Korean skincare is that almost all of their products have anti-aging qualities.

You might also find qualities of Ginseng in Korean products, which is primarily focused on pushing back your fine lines and wrinkles. 

Retinol can be included in your night or day routine based on its form:

• If it’s a cream, use it as a moisturizer.
• If it’s a serum, combine it with other serums.
