You'll Want To Know Kwon Nara's Best-Kept Beauty Secrets!
Itaewon Class' Soo Ah, played by Korean actress Kwon Nara, proves to be one of the prettiest faces in the K-drama world today. Check out her top beauty tips here!
If there's anyone to look at for beauty inspiration, it's the Korean ladies. We're familiar with their glass-like skin, the dewy perfection, and seemingly wrinkle-less faces they all have—enough reason to keep digging into their beauty routines, practices, and best-kept secrets!
And one that we've got our eye on at the moment is Kwon Nara, who plays Oh Soo Ah in the recently concluded K-drama Netflix hit series 'Itaewon Class'. This beauty is just a year shy from being in her 30s, but she doesn't look a day past 21, if you ask us!
The South Korean is best known as an actress and singer, who used to be one of original members of the girl group Hello Venus. Her past TV shows include Suspicious Partner, My Mister, Your Honor, Doctor Prisoner, and the latest, Itaewon Class. She has also done some film projects like Fantasy of the Girls in 2016.
In her character as Soo Ah, she plays the determined young career woman who pursues her life-long goal of being independent, while being one of Park Saeroyi's (played by Park Seo Joon) love interests. She goes on to play an important role in the show, but you'll have to watch to find out what it is that she does!
It can't be denied that Nara has one of the prettiest faces in K-drama prime time these days. Her refined, sharp feminine features, and jet black hair make for a face to remember, and for good reason.
We scoured the world wide web for her best-kept beauty secrets, so you too can get in on the K-Beauty action. Scroll through the gallery below:

In a Nylon Korea feature, Nara shares that she opts for mild skincare products most especially after a facial treatment. This advice is also shared by skincare experts, as a facial opens up your pores, so you don't want anything too harsh while you're at it.

Nara is a big believe in AM and PM skincare. Not to neglect your skin before bed, she says that you should be as thorough with your evening skincare routine as much as you do it in the morning. The nighttime is when your skin repairs, so apart from getting proper sleep, taking all makeup off and applying your chosen skincare products are a must!

Nara prefers using cleansing water instead of oil, as her skin is already naturally oily. She strips her skin off all thick makeup applied for work, before anything else.

The singer/actress follows up cleansing with the 2nd step i her routine: toning! Instead of drying her skin with a towel, she sprays on a skin-refreshing mist to help lock in moisture that may have been lost due to cleansing. According to Kpopmap, she tries her best to touch her face as little as possible because she has really sensitive skin.

The third step in her night routine is applying a nightly essence, a signature product in Korean skincare routines. She loves Bonajour's Bio Active Essences infused with the Resurrection Plant. This essence adds a layer of natural moisture to her skin for that undeniable glow.

Last but not least, Nara makes sure to apply a nightly face mask to ensure her face recovers from the day's wear and tear. She swears by Bonajour's Bio Active Night Cream, and washes it off in the morning. The result is a glowing, milky complexion we'd love to have!

Nara uses ingredients found in the kitchen to tend to her skin too. After washing her face, she sometimes applies green tea bags to her skin to help soothe and moisturize it. Green tea is said to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties which are good for warding off acne.

We often see Nara sporting her jet black hair, and she rarely dyes it other hues. This is rare for Korean stars, but we say we love her natural hair color the way it is, as it shows off her enviable complexion in the best way.

Just like many other Korean actresses, Nara likes to keep things simple in the makeup department. She goes for soft brows, a hint of blush, and a thin veil of lip color or tint to finish up a look.

Her signature bangs are a highlight of her look, and whether she's sporting them with a bob or long, wavy locks, we say the bangs give her an eternally youthful vibe that's hard to come by.
