4 Reasons To Go KBeauty

Let us talk about why the Korean skincare 5-10 step routine is changing the game in the beauty industry market right now.

Skincare vs Makeup

The first difference is in the Korean skincare philosophy of achieving the best quality skin by treating specific skin conditions. For the Korean woman, this is far more important than cosmetics. This is why in Korea the average female spends double the amount on skincare products versus makeup.

Product Formulations

Korean skincare products are designed to be layered which is why they tend to be lighter in texture and formulation. This allows you to achieve a dewy, hydrated complexion while avoiding the clogging of pores. Most products tend to be water-based and are humectants. This practice of layering products allows you to personalize your routine by targeting specific skin needs, something one product cannot do alone. Hydrated skin functions at its best.

Hyper-pigmentation/Acne Scars Treatments

Let’s address the Korean term “Whitening” which gets misconstrued when translated into North American beauty terms. To start with, no bleach is used in Korean skincare. The term whitening is referred to achieving a brighter, more glowing complexion. Korean products can be used on all skin types and skin tones. Products with this term indicate that they treat acne, acne marks and hyper-pigmentation. This is achieved with exfoliating, masks, serums and other types of kbeauty skincare products. The ingredient most commonly used is called arbutin; this is an extract taken from bearberry or mulberry leaves and used to inhibit the enzyme tyrosinase which causes hyper-pigmentation and causes increase in the rate of cell turnover to reveal healthier cells leading to more even toned skin.

Products range in prices as low as $2.00 to $10.00 for a sheet mask and from $25.00-$300.00 for face creams; plus everything in between.
