Wondering why?

Well, Korean beauties believe that slapping the facial skin improves blood flow in the facial area and increases the energy levels of your skin. Same applies to when you are putting creams as well as moisturizers. Slapping the face as a beauty regime is also said to work on the collagen - making your skin soft and supple. Remember, microneedling? Dermaplaning?


According to skin experts, the process of slapping should not be painful or discomforting. You just have to put better pressure to allow products to penetrate the skin better and enhance blood flow to activate facial cells. Your skin will feel flushed the moment you do it.
