Passion

 

Korean women use on average 8 beauty products in their daily routine and spend 30 minutes per day on their skincare. This passion makes them knowledgeable and dedicated testers who give the most valuable and helpful feedback – and that's how the best beauty products are being developed in Korea. 

Healthy skin

 

The focus of Korean beauty is on natural, healthy skin. This focus on the long-term health of the skin, led K-Beauty to sticking to natural ingredients and skincare products that are free from harmful chemicals.
 

Selfcare

 

Regarding beauty, the Koreans believe deeply in a holistic approach: Selfcare is key – also to flawless and beautiful skin. To achieve the best results, Korean women try their best, to prevent issues before they occur. That’s how they invented the famous preventive self-care beauty routines.
