Great skin doesn’t just happen overnight—it requires smart skincare habits and effective techniques. The good news? You don’t need an expensive 10-step routine to achieve glowing, healthy skin. By incorporating powerful skincare hacks, you can transform your complexion and see real results fast.
In this article, we’ll share five game-changing skincare hacks, expert tips, and must-try products from Laneige and Sensoo Skincare that will take your routine to the next level.
Hack 1: The 60-Second Cleansing Rule for Clearer Skin
Cleansing is one of the most important steps in any skincare routine, but most people don’t do it correctly. Many of us rush through washing our face, leaving behind makeup, dirt, and excess oil that clog pores and cause breakouts.
What is the 60-Second Rule?
✔ Wash your face for a full 60 seconds instead of the usual 10-15 seconds.
✔ This allows your cleanser’s active ingredients to properly break down dirt and oil.
✔ Focus on massaging in circular motions to boost circulation.
Why It Works:
- Removes all impurities (including sunscreen and pollution buildup).
- Helps prevent acne and blackheads.
- Leaves skin soft and prepped for the next skincare steps.
Recommended Product: Laneige Multi Deep-Clean Cleanser – A hydrating, yet deep-cleansing formula that removes dirt, oil, and impurities.
Hack 2: Layering Hydration Using the 7-Skin Method
If your skin always feels dry and tight, it might not be a moisturizer issue—it’s a hydration issue. The 7-Skin Method is a K-Beauty trick that helps your skin absorb maximum moisture without feeling greasy.
How to Do the 7-Skin Method:
✔ Instead of applying one heavy layer of moisturizer, apply 3-7 thin layers of toner or essence.
✔ Gently pat each layer into your skin until fully absorbed.
✔ This locks in moisture without clogging pores.
Why It Works:
- Hydrates deep into the skin, keeping it plump and dewy.
- Prevents oil overproduction (perfect for oily & combination skin).
- Boosts skin elasticity and smoothness.

Recommended Product: Laneige Cream Skin Toner & Moisturizer – A toner-moisturizer hybrid that deeply nourishes the skin.
Hack 3: The Power of Sleeping Masks for Overnight Repair
Your skin does the most repair work while you sleep, which makes overnight skincare crucial. Instead of just using a regular night cream, upgrade to a sleeping mask for intense hydration and skin regeneration.
How Sleeping Masks Work:
✔ They seal in moisture and nutrients overnight.
✔ Prevent moisture loss while you sleep.
✔ Help repair skin damage from UV rays and pollution.
Why It Works:
- You wake up with soft, plump, glowing skin.
- Helps calm redness and irritation overnight.
- Works great for all skin types, including oily and sensitive skin.

Hack 4: The Ice Cube Trick for Instant Glow
Want brighter, tighter skin in seconds? The ice cube trick is a quick and easy hack that skincare experts swear by! Cold therapy helps reduce puffiness, tighten pores, and improve circulation for a radiant glow.
How to Do It:
✔ Wrap an ice cube in a clean cloth.
✔ Gently rub it over your face for 1-2 minutes.
✔ Focus on puffy areas like under the eyes or swollen breakouts.
Why It Works:
- Instantly reduces redness and puffiness.
- Tightens pores and smooths out skin texture.
- Boosts circulation, giving you a natural glow.
Pro Tip: Add green tea or cucumber juice to your ice cubes for extra soothing benefits.
Hack 5: Double Cleansing for Pore Perfection
If you’re only using one cleanser, you might be leaving behind sunscreen, makeup, and oil—even after washing your face. Double cleansing ensures your skin is 100% clean and prepped for skincare absorption.
How to Double Cleanse Properly:
1️⃣ Step 1: Oil-Based Cleanser – Dissolves makeup, sunscreen, and excess oil.
2️⃣ Step 2: Water-Based Cleanser – Removes dirt, sweat, and impurities from deep within the pores.
Why It Works:
✔ Prevents clogged pores and breakouts.
✔ Helps control oil production without stripping the skin.
✔ Creates the perfect canvas for serums and moisturizers.
