Q & A

Why did Arang stop going to the dermatologist and start focusing on at-home skincare?

Arang stopped going to the dermatologist after spending over 10 million WON and realized that consistent at-home skincare was the key to improving and maintaining good skin.

What are the three main factors that contribute to poor skin condition, according to Arang?

The three main factors are: friction from wearing a mask, bacteria growth due to breathing in the mask, and increased pH levels inside the mask that create a favorable environment for bacteria.

How can you lower the pH level of your skin when wearing a mask?

Arang recommends changing your mask frequently to lower the pH level and create a less favorable environment for bacteria. Keeping the water-oil balance in your skin is also important.

Why is maintaining the water-oil balance crucial for healthy skin?

Maintaining the water-oil balance is important because it helps prevent both dryness and excess oiliness. Over-drying can lead to flaky skin, while excess oil can cause acne and other issues.

What is the significance of the 28-day dead skin cell turnover cycle in skincare?

The 28-day cycle refers to the time it takes for dead skin cells to naturally fall off. Arang emphasizes the importance of supporting this cycle with the right products, like exfoliants and retinol, to keep skin smooth and fresh.

What type of cleansing foam does Arang recommend, and why?

Arang recommends a slightly acidic cleansing foam with a pH of 5.5, as it helps maintain the skin’s natural pH balance and prevents irritation or dryness caused by alkaline products.

What does Arang suggest for people with oily skin?

For oily skin, Arang suggests using Skinfood's Carrot Carotene Moist Effector, which is a lightweight, watery ampoule that soothes and balances oil production without feeling sticky.

How does Arang handle exfoliation in her skincare routine?

Arang uses a gentle exfoliant, like Skin 1004’s Centella Ampoule, about once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells. She recommends more frequent use for people with thicker skin.

Which products does Arang recommend for those with sensitive or dry skin?

For sensitive or dry skin, Arang recommends BringGree's Tea Tree Cica Soothing Cream and Dr. Jart's Cicapair Cream. Both are soothing and provide moisture without irritation.

What is Arang’s opinion on using retinol in skincare, and how does she incorporate it?

Arang uses retinol to support skin renewal and reduce wrinkles. She recommends starting with milder products like Bakuchiol for sensitive skin and gradually moving to stronger retinol treatments for more intensive care.
