16th Mar 2018
Cloudless skin is the next hot topic coming straight from Seoul.
We have already covered “honey skin,” a K-beauty trend which is focused on a hydrated and healthy complexion. So what is “cloudless skin” and what is different about this new buzzword?
Cloudless skin lifestyle
According to Korean women, cloudless skin is not a trend just a skin condition driven by patience, perseverance and lifestyle. It is a type of flawless and almost transparent skin, which is an ultimate goal of every Korean woman. How to get it?
Here is our recipe for cloudless skin:

Skin Care
On a daily basis, focus on the main 3 elements of skin care: <a
Cleansing and exfoliation are crucial steps. To achieve “cloudless skin” you want to use effective cleansers which will remove all dirt and impurities which can block your pores and cause inflammation and irritation. With a regular exfoliation, you will help your skin to improve dead skin turnover.
Next stop in your skin routine is deep hydration which will balance your skin. Skin care products, such as Real Barrier cosmetics, will help to rebuild, maintain & protect the skin barrier. They will protect the skin from pollution and other stressors & help to eliminate the risk of inflammation. If any irritation caused by external stressors appear, these cosmetics will speed up the skin’s recovery process.
Last but not least, let’s talk about SPF protection. Let’s face it, skin with dark spots looks older and hyperpigmentation is one of the biggest skin concerns nowadays. SPF is a top secret weapon in fighting premature ageing and hyperpigmentation. Good sunscreen and a habit of applying and reapplying it on a daily basis are key to the cloudless skin.
Wellbeing
We all know stressed-out skin looks dull and drained… just like a cloud. Cortisol, which is a stress hormone, weakens the body and the skin barrier making it more vulnerable. Managing stress is one of the biggest challenges in modern life and a good night sleep helps your skin to rebalance and achieve optimal condition.
Mix the above with a daily dose of fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains and nutritious food. These are perfect for replacing processed food. If you cannot eliminate it completely then limit your sugar intake.
Bottom line
Cloudless skin is clear & radiant thanks to the investment you are making into your lifestyle through skincare and healthy diet.
