Pores are the pathways through which sebum exits our skin. When excess sebum and dead skin cells build up in these pathways, it can lead to enlarged pores. That’s why at "KORAL SECRETS," we've created the highly adored Red Bean Refreshing Pore Mask from the BOJ brand, a fantastic exfoliator. This innovative product harnesses key ingredients from the Earth, specifically red beans, which have been treasured throughout history, along with kaolin (KAY-uh-lin), a clay mineral with the chemical formula Al 2 Si 2 O 5 (OH) 4. Red beans have been an essential ingredient in Korean culture and skincare. During the Joseon era, women who prioritized skincare used mung beans and ground red beans as facial cleansers. Together with kaolin, these ingredients help to minimize open pores and serve as a natural exfoliant, promoting a smoother skin texture. Additionally, the gentle clay's moisturizing formula absorbs excess sebum and eliminates dead skin cells without causing dryness, leaving your skin feeling refreshed and soothed.

The formula is dermatologically tested and free from harmful or irritating ingredients for the skin, such as alcohol, parabens, silicones, sulfates, artificial fragrances, and essential oils.

Usage

After cleansing your skin with your regular cleanser, apply the mask to dry skin, focusing on areas with enlarged pores. Leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes. Then, gently massage your skin in circular motions with warm water to remove any remnants. Avoid the eye and lip areas. Proceed with the other steps in your routine.

Brand

Beauty of Joseon is a skincare brand inspired by the beauty traditions of women during the Korean Joseon Dynasty. During this time, women focused on achieving clean and healthy skin rather than masking it with heavy makeup. The beauty secrets of these women were documented in the Gyuhap Chongseo, often regarded as the beauty encyclopedia of the Joseon Dynasty, authored by Yi Bingheogak, a prominent female scholar born into a noble family in 1809, who described women as having a healthy and glowing complexion. Thus, the brand aims to create skincare products that beautifully blend the secrets of traditional plants from Hanbang (traditional Korean herbal medicine) with modern ingredients backed by science.

When looking for a cleansing product, it's vital to ensure it offers superior cleansing capabilities without compromising the skin barrier. Enter the Green Plum Refreshing Cleanser from our beloved brand, "Beauty Of Joseon." This facial cleanser features plant-based extracts from plum seeds and mung beans, formulated with a mildly acidic profile that guarantees a thorough cleanse without harming your skin's natural barrier. According to Donguibogam (a 1613 publication on traditional Korean medicine), plums are sour, non-toxic, and not only help lower body temperature, but also alleviate thirst and revitalize muscles and pulse. Moreover, plums are packed with organic acids and vitamins, being a long-standing herbal ingredient. This cleanser's formulation includes 3% mung seed extract along with red beans and rice bran from the Joseon dynasty, effectively exfoliating the skin by eliminating dead skin cells and excess sebum. Furthermore, the saponins in mung beans help retain essential moisture and fortify the skin barrier. The gel formula effectively preserves the skin's natural moisture without inducing irritation or dryness.

Its formula is dermatologically tested and free from harmful skin ingredients, including: alcohol, parabens, sulfates, silicones, artificial fragrances, artificial colors, mineral oil, and animal-derived ingredients.

It is rich in vitamins A and C, along with various minerals that nourish and soothe the skin. The silica powder content absorbs excess sebum throughout the day, creating a matte layer on the skin for a smooth, soft feel without greasiness. Its stick format allows for easy reapplication at any time and place!
