While we are familiar with the 10-step skincare routine, have you heard of the Korean term, 'chok chok'? Used to describe incredibly luminous, dewy skin that we aspire to have, let's find out from this South Korean beauty guru on how achieve it
After moving to Singapore with her family, entrepreneur, marketing expert and mother-of-two Jungmin Lee founded Ksisters because she was frustrated that she couldn't find the beauty products she used in South Korea. So, she decided why not bring her favourite brands to Singapore?
In a recent virtual demonstration, Lee reveals her arsenal of skincare that lightens dark spots, hyper-pigmentation and blemishes; she also shares tips on how she maintains her plump, porcelain complexion.

Exfoliate but in moderation
When it comes to exfoliating, we often use toner-soaked cotton pads, chemical peels or gentle facial scrubs to clear away the build-up on our faces in order to avoid blackheads from forming. And while the aforementioned methods are perfectly fine, Lee introduces an alternative, non-invasive method using the Reclar Water Peeling Device.
- After soaking your cotton pads with an exfoliating toner of your choice, place them on problem areas such as the T-zone or chin, and leave them up to 5 to 10 minutes before removal. (For sensitive skin types, soak your cotton pad with water first before adding the toner.)
- Activate the water peeling function of the Reclar Water Peeling Device to clean your pores. Use gentle, upward motions with its metal tip.
- To ensure better cleansing, moisturise your skin using the previously soaked cotton pads while peeling.
- After exfoliating, rinse off the remaining exfoliant with water to avoid irritation.
Lee's go-to product is the Heartleaf Blackhead Cleanser by ECOM, which is infused with Centella Asiatica extract, Citrust extract and EFFIPULP Avocado Protein that calm, soothe and tighten skin.
