Updated July 22, 2022Dreamy superstar glow looking like the 8th BTS member? Skin as smooth as… butter? Cool shade, stunner, yeah, I owe it all to my mother.
Oops, before I lose track and sing their new single soundtrack, let’s get this straight to BTS skincare routine. And the best way is no other than treating yourself with TLC (tender loving care) and join in the fun of skincare.
How many beauty products can you name that Bangtan Boys are spotted using? Alright, K-beauty police mode on.
BTS Jungkook's skincare routine
Top on the list is none other than Armys and Kpop’s Golden Maknae – Jeon Jungkook!
We’ve witnessed the glow-up of the now 23-year old Jungkook. With or without makeup, he’s more than camera-ready.
Surprisingly, he did have poor skin at some point in his life. This was during the early years of his career, debuting at a very young age of 15. Adolescence, hectic schedule, and heavy makeup are probably the greatest contributors.
There are stage performances unintentionally capturing his imperfections (pimples), particularly on the right side of his handsome face.
Jungkook openly expressed unhappiness with his pimples way back: “I truly hope my skin will get better.” in a Vlive broadcast, he said.
So how did Jeon Jungkook clear up his acne?
In an interview with Glance TV, a reporter asks the members, “Who among you takes the best care of your skin?” All of them raised their hands pointing at Jungkook. Then Jin suddenly spilled a secret of Jungkook using VINEGAR as skincare. But how?
Jungkook explained further that he cleanses his face with vinegar for skin treatment. Not just an ordinary vinegar but an Apple Cider Vinegar. He said to wash his face with a mixture of water and a few drops of it.
Considering the powerful antimicrobial properties it contains, a few drops of apple cider may help cure pimples. Just be aware that using it directly and in large concentrations can result in skin burns. Also, make sure to do a patch test to determine allergic reactions.
Disclaimer: The information is NOT medical advice and is not a substitute for consulting a medical expert.
Now that Jungkook and his bad skin days are all in the past, he gave recommendations in his V-Live a few months back, tips to improve skin condition. One is to keep skin hydrated by drinking lots of water and the other one is getting proper rest. You should also take some time to get know your skin better and do research to see what works and what doesn’t.
As for Jungkokie, he mentioned using Jojoba oil during J-Hope‘s birthday broadcast. However, due to the previous Downy fiasco, he’s hesitant to name the brand. Instead, he gave us hints that the product name contains four letters/characters.
BTS V's skincare routine
Now let’s talk about Kim Taehyung, the visual often compared to computer graphics. V is recognized internationally as one of the 100 most handsome faces and came in second last year.
I must say V stands for Vibrant personality with a unique singing voice, who’s undeniably born with good looks. Tae Tae loves to talk to his fans whenever he gets the chance.
In an old V-live, V talked about skincare and did his nighttime routine in front of the camera. He may not specifically talk about the brand, just the step-by-step routine: cleanser – toner – moisturizer, and cream. But when it comes to ARMY’s, there’s no such thing as a secret. They immediately recognized the brand and the entire product line. The answer? Zeriod.
Spotted are the following skincare products:
- Facial wash: Black Monster Homme All-in-One Foaming Cleanser,
- Facial Toner: Zeroid Pimprove Toner
- Facial moisturizer: Zeroid Pimprove Moisturizer and
- Facial cream: Zeroid Pimprove Cream
The one originally featured on V’s V-Live from Black Monster is unavailable so we came up with 2 options for you.
For men, Black Monster Black Mud Face Mask and Foam cleansing is designed specifically for you and can be used as a daily cleanser or a facial mask once or twice a week. It works deeply on skin to cleanse impurities, excess sebum as well as hard-to-remove products such as makeup or sunscreen.
For women, we have the alternative of following the entire Zeriod line of beauty products. These products are formulated to work together so there’s less chance of incompatibility. For example, the Zeriod Pimprove foaming cleanser.
The Zeriod foaming cleanser has a pH of 5.5 (similar to our skin) which is gentle for all skin types. It’s also non-comedogenic, paraben-free, and fragrance-free, making it even safer for acne-prone and sensitive skin.
It has been Zeroid’s pride to be recommended by skin doctors in Korea. Zeriod stands for “zero steroid” which promotes healthy skin by incorporating only the safe to use ingredients.
If you look closer at Zeroid’s list of ingredients, it contains skin-friendly contents which are mild, gentle, and good for our skin barrier.
For example, the Zeroid Pimprove Moisturizer has ceramide, zinc, and panthenol. These are proven from studies to help strengthen the skin barrier, which is our first line of defense from external hazards.
When it comes to toner, Zeroid offers a mild toner that is ideal for oily, acne-prone, and even sensitive skin. It’s hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, which means it won’t clog your pores.
Finally, V’s bedtime ritual is completed with Zeroid Pimprove cream. Taehyung said that slathering on a lot of cream at night is beneficial to our skin since nighttime is “repair time”. This is when our skin regenerates, and adding a little help from a beauty product is surely not a bad idea.
BTS Jimin's skincare routine
In addition to the visual line, we have Park Jimin. I guess BTS got themselves multiple entries for the maknae position based on looks. But don’t be fooled, this baby-faced guy is not the youngest of the bunch.
So what is Jiminie’s secret to look young?
Jimin and the rest of the members travel a lot. In an interview with Allure Korea, he provided some simple but helpful skincare travel tips. To start, make sure you stay hydrated at all times. Second, as a performer, removing makeup and double cleansing is a must.
How about the skincare products Jimin is using?
On BTS’s Bon Voyage Season 4, Jimin and J-hope were spotted using L’Occitane Immortelle Overnight Reset Oil-in-Serum.
Reset your skin overnight with Immortelle Overnight Reset Oil-in-Serum. This serum help skin rejuvenates, waking up with a well-rested look and younger-looking skin. It’s also anti-aging and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines.
L'Occitane Immortelle Overnight Reset Oil-in-Serum
But if you’re seeking a moisturizing and soothing daily skincare routine, Jimin’s VT Cica line of skincare cosmetics got you covered.
These products are rich in Cica extract, also known as Centella Asiatica. It boosts hydration while keeping your skin acne-free.
BTS RM's skincare routine
If you’ve read this far, you may have noticed that we started with the maekna to hyung line (youngest to oldest).
So up next is the group’s leader, who’s overflowing with charisma – Kim Namjoon.
And yes, for the record, he’s not the oldest. He is simply the leader; A responsible and smart one!
This smart guy right here knows the best way to take care of his skin. And the first step is to figure out what type of skin you have! As for RM, he acknowledged having dry skin in an interview with Allure Korea. He’s fending it off by keeping his skin well moisturized.
My next story might be a myth to some because not everyone knows the days before Bangtan Boys officially got Mediheal and VT cosmetics under their belt. Back then, RM was spotted visiting a HERA boutique near Seoul’s Apgujeong Rodeo station.
He highlighted HERA’s Homme Essence in Skin as one of the brand’s products that helps him get smoother skin.
What RM likes most about the essence is how it smoothens skin and it’s non-sticky. He finds it cool to achieve flawless skin with just one product.
NEW Hera Homme Special Set
Aside from taking the time to study his skin, Namjoon is very particular with chapped lips. He was spotted so many times using lip balm and sharing it with others on stage.
If you’re wondering what lip balms touched RM’s lips, a few of them are Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm and Chap Sticks. So if Jungkook is Mr. Lip Balm, shall we call RM the Lip Balm King?
BTS J-hope's skincare routine
Make way, make way, here comes our bouncing ray of hope, J-Hope.
Holy moly, this man never seems to age… at all! He’s the only one in the entire group (since 2013) who looks precisely the same in my eyes. He never put on weight or lost weight. He showed no traces of aging and had no pimple troubles. Is this for real?
Oh, believe me, if there’s a notable difference from time to time, it’s solely his hair color!
Hobi’s no-longer-a-secret skincare was first revealed in our previous article, K-beauty endorsements from your favorite Kpop Idols, along with Suga.
This is when they graced the A.R.M.Y’s their nighttime routine via V-Live. Of course, nighttime is pampering time and they treat themselves with their favorite facial mask from the brand they officially endorsed, Mediheal.
Benefits of using facial mask sheet
One single mask sheet a day, will keep the dullness away.
Korean Mask sheet is a simple, inexpensive, and effective way to replenish the skin’s moisture for plump, bouncy, and glowing skin. It reboots the skin magically in just 10-20 minutes.
This is perfect if you want to look your best in an anticipated event or as for celebrities, they put it on right before they perform on stage. Aside from the natural glow it brings, it has been said that makeups look better when your skin is conditioned. This is not just for Korean celebrities but even Hollywood stars like J.Lo, who openly uses beauty facial mask to prepare her skin.
To make it even more fun, there are several skincare mask sheets to choose from. Unique ingredients like honey, lemon, cucumber, green tea, tea tree, shea butter, charcoal, and even berries can be found as star ingredients. Of course, each mask is tailored to different skin concerns, so find out what your skin needs the most.
If your skin needs an extra boost of hydration, choose Mediheal X BTS Hydration Care Mask Sheet.
This mask set contains 5 packs of D.N.A Hydrating Protein Mask which is soaked in a creamy serum boosting your skin’s hydration level with nourishing jojoba oil, antioxidant squalane, lipid-loving ceramide NP, and a dose of 19 fortifying amino acids and peptides.
It also has 5 packs of TeaTree Care Solution Mask Ex that are formulated with tea tree leaf oil, pine needle, and portulaca oleracea extracts. This essential mask helps control sebum production, soothes the dry and irritated skin, as well as quick healing of acne and acne spots.
But if you’re into soothing facial mask, pick Mediheal X BTS Facial Mask Sheet Special Soothing Care. It contains 5 packs of TreTree Care Solution Mask Ex which, as stated above is an acne-fighting mask.
This is paired with 5 packs of P.D.F A.C-dressing Ampoule Mask which has Centella asiatica, trehalose, and allantoin to soothe the irritated, sensitive, and acne-prone skin.
It’s noteworthy that these high-quality mask sheet special package comes with photo cards. Yes, you heard me right. The white box (Hydration Care) contains 14 individual photos of the members while the turquoise-colored box (Soothing Care) has group photos.
That’s an advantage for someone like me. Imagine taking care of your skin while receiving a photo card from BTS for free!
BTS Suga's skincare routine
From the Hyung line, we have a talented rapper and composer, Suga.
If ARMYs had to pick one out of all the members with the fairest skin, it would certainly be him. Blessed with skin as white as snow, as plump and soft like tofu, the list of good comparisons are endless.
They say it’s a gift from God if you’re born with good skin. However, maintaining this God-given gift is a challenge and it takes a lot of effort and time. You’ll face tons of skin-damaging factors such as free radicals, chemical irritants, and sun exposure, to name a few.
Out of all the skin-damaging factors, the biggest contributor and threat is sun exposure. Overexposure leads to major skin damage such as hyperpigmentation, premature aging, skin burns, and even skin cancer.
And I’m glad to report that our Yoongi knows the best way to protect his skin. That is… by not skipping sunscreen!
In an episode at Bon Voyage, he couldn’t emphasize enough the importance of sunscreen when the rest of the members were laughing about how much he applied to his face. He said, “you’re supposed to put this much on if you want to block the UV rays, silly!”
Clinique Spf 50 Mineral Sunscreen Fluid for Face
Suga was spotted using a well-known skincare brand Clinique. Does the brand ring a bell to you? Of course, this is one of Squid Game Star Jung Hoyeon’s go-to skincare brand.
Clinique Spf 50 Mineral Sunscreen Fluid for Face is a 100% mineral sunscreen. It’s super lightweight and designed for all skin types, especially sensitive skins. It’s oil-free and fragrance-free. And since this is 100% mineral, it’s also safe for babies from 6 months up.
Do not be alarmed by the ghostly white appearance of Yoongi. The white color will gradually fade away and blend on every type of skin color you’re in.
The Clinique Spf 50 Mineral Sunscreen is a daily sunscreen, so you can use it every single day and reapply it every 2 hours if you’re doing extreme activities outside like swimming.
Also, see our Top Korean Sunscreen with Verified SPF Claims blog for more verified Korean sunscreens.
BTS Jin's skincare routine
BTS wouldn’t be complete without the group’s visual and our worldwide handsome, Jin!
Even before debuting as an idol, he received so much attention just by being handsome. Did you know he was first scouted by SM Entertainment because of his looks? The same goes for Big Hit Entertainment (now HYBE), who happen to scout him while walking on the streets back in his University days. And the rest is history.
Another fun fact from our worldwide handsome is modeling a skincare brand, months before debuting as an idol.
This is not just any unknown brand though, but the famous Etude house. He modeled Good Guy BB Cream as shown in the photo below. The brand’s official Twitter account cheered Jin and describe him as someone we should look forward to. The skincare brand did not go wrong.

What are the products BTS Jin spotted using?
Kim Seokjin, along with the rest of the BTS members is famous for its blog. We’ve learned a lot about their fun personalities, the kind of music they like, the hardships they went through, and so so much more. This also includes the beauty products they unconsciously revealed in their blogs.
As for BTS Jin, he is a fan of the Korean skincare brand belif. He was spotted (left photo) generously putting the belif classic cream in the morning before he face a long day.
Another photo of him (right photo) captured all three skincare products from the same brand.
BONUS: BTS Skincare & Cosmetics Endorsements
And of course, this article wouldn’t be complete without the official endorsements of Korean skincare and cosmetic products every Army should know.

Merch like photos, stickers, etc. no longer come with purchases after a certain period of time.
