Revealing Korean beauty secrets

Following France and Japan, Korean beauty products are causing fever throughout Asia and other parts of the world.

On average, a Korean woman easily uses more than 10 cosmetic products for her daily skin care. This country's beautiful skin philosophy has been mentioned since the Dongui Bogam period, a famous Korean medical book in the 1600s.

In recent years, Korea has launched a series of popular lashes or foundation creams all over the world. Here are some other feverish cosmetic trends from the kimchi beauty industry:

Green tea

This natural material has been praised for its numerous health and beauty benefits. However, Korea's Amore Pacific cosmetics firm has made great progress in extracting and exploiting the best benefits of EGCG, an antioxidant found only in green tea. All EGCG substances are derived from green tea grown on Jeju island fields, where the climate is optimal for the growth of the best tea leaves.

Ginseng

Used in traditional Oriental medicine, ginseng brings many health and beauty benefits to people. However, this rare tuber tree can only be found naturally growing in some parts of the world. In particular, Korean ginseng is rated the best. In skin care, this herbal root is rejuvenating and can help restore the skin's moisture balance, counteract the signs of aging and increase melanoma. Some Korean cosmetics firms have used ginseng extract as a key ingredient in the brand's secret skin care formula.

Study on skin and how to lighten skin

Bright white skin is the ultimate goal of all Korean skincare products as well as research on new skin care technologies, which focus on lightening dark spots on the skin and perfecting a light skin. Amarté is one of the latest Korean skin care cosmetics brands launched overseas. The company started out with a dermatology clinic in Korea and developed into a brand by collaborating scientific research with Seowon University and the Center for Food and Organic Materials Improvement.

Kill death celk

Korean women like being scrubbed, scrubbing exfoliants - which they can easily get at public baths ( 'jjimjilbang' in Korean) or home treatment. If you see a Korean-style bathroom in your area, try out a very interesting beauty method.

Vacuum pump

Another improvement in the skin care industry is 'storming' the Korean market using vacuum pump cosmetic packaging. What is special about this type of packaging is that it keeps cosmetics from oxidation or contamination. In addition, this technology allows you to ensure the ideal amount of product for each use. Everything from cleanser to moisturizer and even foundation cream can be contained in vacuum pump bottles.
