Everything You Need to Know About Korean Beauty

Your passport to glowing skin - by Arielle Tsoukatos
  • 08 May 2019
Everything You Need to Know About Korean Beauty

Without our Korean beauty counterparts, the 12-step skincare routine would not exist.  We can thank Korean beauty for taking the maximalist beauty regimen into mainstream vernacular and for giving us an excuse to take a moment for ourselves - to practice self-care each day. If you haven't jumped on the wagon yet, now is your time. 

We’re not suggesting you do away with your tried and tested hero beauty products. However, it’s time to dabble in the latest innovations and find a few shiny new skincare products to add to your existing beauty routine.

Cue the latest research from Pinterest, according to the latest data, searches for “self-care” dominate the category with a whopping +140% increase in popularity. Among the top searches for self-care are, skin care, workouts, and morning and bedtime rituals. Korean beauty products dominate the skin care category with a 36% increase in popularity. Namely, complexion correcting sheet masks and oil balancing treatments.

What is the Korean beauty trend? 

The Korean beauty philosophy puts skincare products above all else. Case in point, we have our Korean beauty sisters to thank for the advent of BB and CC cream. Nowadays, Korean women are letting us in on their time-tested rituals for perfect, poreless, porcelain-like skin. 

Here to address a scope of skin concerns and compatible with a host of skin types. Scroll to discover some of the most popular Korean beauty treatments available in Australia right now...
