The modern beauty industry regularly comes up with new and innovative skincare products, which are able to solve problems that used to seem unsolvable. Among such products are skin boosters, which, like many other skincare innovations, originated in South Korea. What is a skin booster and why should you consider giving it a try?
Actually, the term “skin booster” has multiple meanings. It originally referred to a mixture of hyaluronic acid and amino acids that was injected under the surface of the skin. Skin booster injections are a treatment administered by a health professional. The other type of skin booster is a concentrated skincare product with a more powerful effect than a regular toner or cream, designed to enhance your skincare routine. Like we’ve already mentioned above, it originated in Korea as another addition to the multi-layered skincare routine.
A skin booster is something between a face serum and a moisturiser. Like a serum, it has a high concentration of active ingredients; like a moisturiser, it has a lipid phase, which allows it to retain moisture in the skin. In addition, boosters are very lightweight and absorb almost instantly, which makes them suitable for any skin type.
Skin boosters are generally applied after cleansing and before all other skincare products, since they help the rest of the products to absorb better. For this purpose, boosters contain the so-called enhancers – substances that help to transport active ingredients to the deeper layers of the skin.
If your skin is generally healthy, you can use a skin booster instead of your regular moisturiser or serum to make your everyday skincare routine a little simpler. For this purpose, boosters contain high concentrations of nourishing, revitalising and toning components, humectants, and other active ingredients that your skin needs to remain healthy. However, if your skin tends to be on the dry side, you should probably use booster in the morning and regular moisturiser in the evening.
Finally, you can add booster to other skincare products (moisturisers, creamy face masks, serums) to enhance their effectiveness. A few drops of booster are enough to improve the absorption of their active ingredients and maximise the effectiveness of your entire skincare routine.
Common active ingredients in skin boosters include hyaluronic acid, neuropeptides, retinol (vitamin A), niacin (vitamin B3), ascorbic acid (vitamin C), tocopherol (vitamin E), alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), amino acids, polyphenols, probiotics, carrier and essential oils, and plant extracts.
Beauty brands, both Korean and foreign, offer a wide selection of skin boosters that target various skin problems, such as premature wrinkles, dry and flaky skin, acne, increased sebum secretion, pigmentation, and many others. There are special boosters for the skin around the eyes, which is thinner than the rest of the skin on your face and needs extra TLC. Such boosters actively nourish and moisturise the skin, as well as smooth out fine lines and prevent dark circles under the eyes.
