South KoreaSurely, many noticed
that most Koreans look fresh and young even at a very mature age. What is their
secret? The answer is simple: exfoliation. Korean women worship exfoliation.
And it is not surprising, because updating the epidermis, in addition to
getting rid of dead cells and impurities, provides restoration of skin
respiration, acceleration of blood circulation and regeneration processes, as
well as better penetration of the active components of care products.
Thus, the skin remains
moisturized longer, because useful ingredients do not need to break through the
“wall” of the keratinized layer of the epidermis. Exfoliation, in turn,
provides them with a more directed action. In addition, this procedure
stimulates the activity of fibroblasts, cells that activate the synthesis of
collagen and elastin, which are responsible for the elasticity of our skin.
This procedure, which
is more like a ritual, can be performed in SPA salons, the so-called
chimchilbans. Chimchilbans are public baths where you can not only take care of
your beauty, but also have a good rest, get rid of the accumulated stress, take
time to talk with loved ones. They are truly a symbolic attribute of Korean
beauty culture.
For exfoliation,
special abrasive washcloths made of viscose are used. They are also known as
Korean Italy Towel or Italian scrub towels. The invention itself belongs to the
Koreans, but the material from which they are made was first imported from
Italy. Washcloths are gaining popularity with the spread of the Asian model of
body care.
