So what is Saranghae?
Saranghae is an award winning, revolutionary Korean 5 step anti-aging skin care routine designed to directly address the root causes that lead to unhealthy, damaged and aging skin. Saranghae achieves this by addressing 3 distinct phases (heal, regenerate, and protect) The word “saranghae” actually means “I love you” in Korean!
I’ve been following the 5 step routine every night before bed for about a month now. And yes, 5 steps may seem like a lot.. but only takes me about 2 minutes to go through the whole routine. The face mask is only once per week, and it’s a perfect way to enjoy a little at home pampering each week.
So here is an overview of my experience with each of the 5 steps:
Step 1: Nourishing + Moisturizing cleanser
Cleansing daily is a must for me, especially after a long day of wearing makeup at work. I was surprised that this cleanser was oil based, and didn’t have much of a lather at all. I’ve always avoided oil based products because as I mentioned already, my skin is oily to begin with. This cleanser turned out to be gentle but effective, and the smell reminds me of a spa. Super relaxing!
Step 2: Deep Radiance Essence + Serum
Another oil based product, but this serum is said to balance your skin’s pH level to prevent flair ups, inflammation, and break outs. I use a tiny amount on my face after cleansing, and while it does make my skin feel oily at first, it soaks in pretty quickly.
Step 3: Focus Renewal Eye Cream
The eye cream is probably my favorite step from the routine. Like I mentioned, I’ve only been using it for a weeks, but I can already notice a difference in how my eyes look in the morning. Dark circles and puffiness are gone, and my skin is visibly more hydrated around my eyes.
Step 4: Firm + Lift Cellular Regeneration Cream
The face cream is the last step that I do before I go to sleep. The cream is super light, and I only need to use a small amount to cover my whole face. I love that it doesn’t feel too heavy on my skin and it doesn’t feel oily at all. It also smells really nice!
Step 5: Elemental Essence Mask (1x per week)
The mask is like a cloth with holes cut out for your face, and all you need to do is place it on your face for about 15-20 minutes and then take it off. I put the mask on after using the cleanser so my face is nice and clean. It feels a little slimy, but that is just the mixture of botanicals that are working to beautify your skin! I leave the mask on for about 20 minutes, and after I take it off I rub in what’s left on my face from the mask and leave it on overnight so that it really absorbs.
Overall thoughts and experience:
Although I was a little worried at first that so many products in this routine are oil based, I’m actually really happy with the results I’ve seen in just a month. My skin feels more hydrated, and I’ve especially noticed a difference around my eyes. My skin appears more even toned, and I haven’t broken out at all. If you are looking for a high quality, reasonably priced, easy to use skincare routine – I would recommend this for you.
