Glass skin, snail slime, and ten-step beauty regimes — each have taken the skincare universe by storm. The common denominator, K-beauty. Korean beauty has never been more inventive or in vogue than today, and it’s transforming the face of global skincare.
What is K-Beauty?
Why the popularity? As K-pop stars and K-dramas have taken off to global fame, K-beauty is turning a lot of heads. In our opinion, it’s absolutely well-deserved attention. It certainly comes as no surprise to the millions of K-beauty devotees already in the know worldwide.
The beauty of K-beauty is that it’s all about nurturing long-term, well-rounded skin. K-beauty believes in cultivating treatments and routines that really work, and work consistently to fulfill your individual needs and desires. It’s a beauty theory that falls right in line with the signature K-beauty look of glowy, bouncy, bright-eyed health.
And it’s reflected right down to how K-beauty products are built, and how they work together. From traditional Korean herbs to innovative snail mucin, K-beauty harnesses the best of natural ingredients new and old. These ingredients are used to create cosmeceuticals or products that combine cosmetics with therapeutics, like K-beauty essences or sheet masks.
What’s more, K-beauty products are designed to work well in tandem with buildable, flexible formulas ideal for layering. That’s where you get the famous multilayered approach to skincare with ten different steps. Or, just take the glass skin look, which subtly ups the ante on natural radiance — elevating it to a delicate, near-transparent sheen.
That’s all to say that if you’re a newbie to Korean beauty, you can get excited to discover a world of fresh, inspired skincare. So what are you waiting for? Check out LOOKFANTASTIC’s pick of our favorite K-beauty products.
