Korea: Double Cleansing
Well, we all know the power of a Korean Double Cleansing Routine. Korea has cemented its reputation in effective skincare from sheet masks, BB creams, essences and more. While cleansing methods differ from country to country, one of the best methods of cleansing is Korean. Double cleansing means cleansing your face twice to ensure a more thorough purification of your skin. You can start with an oil-based cleanser to remove the excess sebum and clean the clogged pores. Once you rinse it off, you can follow up with a water-based cleanser to clear away the dirt, and sweat and hydrate your face.
Brides, with all the makeup you will be wearing for your wedding, double cleansing can come in handy!
China: Rice Water and Pearl Powder
We know not everyone turns to China for skincare advice, but trust us when we say this Chinese Rice Water and Chinese Pearl Powder are well-kept beauty secrets. As per the China Daily, this beauty secret has been followed since the Qing Dynasty (1644-1944) and is still used today for its anti-oxidant and nourishing properties.
Seen bottles and tubes of skincare claiming they are pearl-infused? Well, the reason is solid. This precious ingredient has been used for thousands of years as a skin-brightening agent and collagen booster.
Sweden: Saunas
If you’ve never heard of Swedish saunas, it’s high time you try them now! Saunas are highly popular in the Scandinavian countries and for all the right reasons. They are very efficient in ridding the body of toxins and leaving your skin looking clear and purified. If you can not go for regular saunas, thermal face masks are the next best option.
India: Turmeric and Neem
Indian Ayurveda has been known for its natural and effective products for ages. But what has caught the world’s attention recently is how efficient Indian Turmeric and Neem are in skin cleansing and healing. If you are a bride dealing with scars or dull skin make sure to use turmeric in your bridal skincare, be it in a mask, scrub or moisturiser. Additionally, if you have sensitive and acne-prone skin, definitely opt for neem products as the leaves are known for their purifying properties.

Morocco: Argan Oil
Moroccan hair products are popular for their effectiveness worldwide. So if you are looking to have long, thick and glossy hair during your wedding festivities, quickly add Moroccan Argan Oil to your bridal hair care routine.

Africa: Black Soap and Shea Butter
This one is a personal favourite. African Black Soap has gone viral in the past few years, thanks to TikTok. African people often turn to natural ingredients for skincare and the black soap is extremely useful for its acne healing and scar-removing properties. When you are done with removing the marks you need to moisturise your skin and for that Shea Butter is golden! Brimming with fatty acids, it is the best moisturiser for dry and rough skin, which is why you will find tons of moisturisers in the market that have shea butter.
Spain: Honey
We know this one is new but hey, skincare is all about discovering what’s right for you. Cleansing your face in the morning with honey has loads of benefits for your skin. Along with cleansing pores, it also helps in reducing inflammation and healing acne, without removing the beneficial lipid layer.
