Clinic and Home-Care Routines
ALLDAY PROJECT’s Annie, Red Velvet’s Joy, and SHINee’s Key: Idols’ clinic and home-care routines
Idols’ skin is no longer dismissed as something they were “born with.” The public no longer assumes they always had good skin. Their habits and routines, openly shared on television and YouTube, show that care itself is a competitive advantage: home methods and devices suited to their skin, thorough basic skin care and regular dermatology visits. Among idols spanning the second through fifth generations, Annie, Joy and Key, names immediately associated with good skin, have all made headlines by sharing consistent home routines.
The days of slathering on only products celebrities praise in advertisements are over. Active use of beauty devices, massagers and radiofrequency equipment for “clinic-level care” at home is now the trend. Idols emphasize one thing: even five minutes must happen every day for real change. Let’s look at their home habits.
1. ALLDAY PROJECT’s Annie — pushing in moisture with a mask-and-device combination
Annie of ALLDAY PROJECT, the “chaebol idol” and daughter of Shinsegae chairwoman Chung Yoo-kyung, recently revealed her morning routine on MBC’s The Manager. Immediately after washing, she applies a hyaluronic-acid sheet mask and carefully spreads the remaining essence over her neck, arms and legs. She then uses a beauty device to push in moisture and nutrients not yet absorbed by her face. The method boosts texture and radiance together, beyond simple hydration. A mask plus device is a classic hydration pairing.
2. Red Velvet’s Joy — beauty benefits from equipment; radiofrequency sends puffiness OUT
Joy introduced various beauty devices on MBC’s Home Alone. A radiofrequency massager delivers warmth while caring for texture, contours and firmness, and a V-line massager refines facial lines. She also owns a calf massager and scalp gua sha, equipment supporting circulation throughout the body. Reducing puffiness and refining texture are daily routines she never skips.
3. SHINee’s Key — preventing aging comes down to detailed layering!
Key said he applies six basic skin-care steps, including eye cream, without missing a day. Since age 14 he has wiped with toner daily, soaking cotton and sweeping along the texture rather than patting toner on by hand. Plenty of sunscreen is a given. He treats neck and scalp as skin too, carefully applying sunscreen behind his ears, to the nape and along the forehead line. On Home Alone, he admitted being frightened by the warning that “once past 30, it goes downhill fast,” asserting, “In five years, people who cared for themselves and those who didn’t will definitely look different.”
When home care reaches its limits: time to fill the gaps with a clinic routine
Even idols using devices daily supplement their routines with clinical care when the barrier breaks down or deep dryness worsens. “Idol skin” is not simply innate: it combines consistent home care and regular clinic care. Below are three clinic routines idols often receive.
✔ Hydration boosters — texture and radiance together
Typical examples are Rejuran Healer, Silky Injections and hydration injections. PN ingredients or hyaluronic-acid complex ampoules are injected directly into the dermis to create moisture reservoirs. Rejuran Healer, in particular, has a skin-regenerating effect, making it essential for skin tired by repeated makeup and insufficient sleep.
✔ Lifting — promptly restore collapsed contours
If you notice sagging or less defined cheekbone and jaw contours, high-intensity lifting equipment such as Onda, Ultherapy or Shurink should lift down to the SMAS layer. Customized procedures combining area-specific lifting of the forehead, eye area and jawline are increasingly common.
✔ Anti-aging — start now before it is too late
When firmness decreases and fine lines appear, Skin Botox, Elravie Re2O and Shining Rejuran can be considered. They suppress expression lines or improve moisture flow and regenerative capacity within skin, helping retain a naturally youthful impression. Elravie Re2O is a dermal-regeneration injection made by purifying human-derived dermis, freezing, solidifying and drying it. Injecting it into the dermis can increase collagen and support anti-aging.
