3 ADVANTAGES OF THE PAT PAT METHOD

Today we want to tell you about the new trend in Korea, this technique is changing the way skin care products are applied, the "pat method" (Tapping Method or Pat Pat method, in English) is the technique most used in Japan and South Korea to apply the products. As the name implies, it involves using your palms or fingertips to gently apply the products through light touches or "pats."

You wonder why this method is being so popular? Here we tell you 3 advantages of the Pat Pat Method compared to other forms of application:

1- It's good for your skin: Slapping is a gentler way to apply skin care products, as it doesn't hurt your skin in any way.

2- Does not cause irritation or inflammation: The way in which most people apply their products can cause irritation and inflammation, since for some skin the use of cotton balls can be very irritating.

3- Prevents the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles: When we rub ourselves very hard we can cause the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Bonus: Serious advocates of this method claim that gently patting products helps skin products penetrate better.

If you want to give patting a try, here's what you need to know about how to clap your hands when applying different skincare products:

• Facial Serum (Serum): Aggressive rubbing is not going to make the product work better. Rather, focus that energy on spreading the product and patting the area where you applied it.

• Moisturizer: If you have dry skin, you will want to try ways that your moisturizer absorbs better, so instead of massaging, pat!

• Eye contour: The skin around the eyes is thinner and more fragile than the skin in other areas of the face, so if you want to choose only one place for the patting technique, choose this area as it is more likely to be damage if you rub too hard when you apply your eye contour

• Tonic: although they are products of liquid consistency, they can also be used under the tapping technique for those whose skin is irritated by the use of cottons or makeup wipes.

Remember the goal is to transfer the products from the palms of your hands to your skin, with a repetitive contact that will help you absorb better and avoid possible damage sometimes caused by friction. For just a couple more minutes in your routine, it's worth a try, isn't it?
