    Have you ever come across some online comments that sounded something like... "I always get sunburned whenever I use one of those Asian sunscreens. Those sunscreens are a scam." In this video, I'll tell you why this happens and share with you an updated selection of my

    I talked many times about this phenomenon, but I want to add more thing to help you understand why there's such a big gap between brands/products that are popular in Korea VS abroad: strategic institutional support.

    I find it really interesting how Estée Lauder's Advanced Night Repair was never remotely a hit product on Glowpick, but the moment they appointed SNSD's Yoona as their brand ambassador it jumped straight to no.1. Behold the power of (the right) celebrity endorsements.

    Skinfood recently became viral in Korea for the ingenious (and 100% recyclable) packaging of their new sunscreen, which allows users to easily cut open the paper tube and completely use up the sunscreen until the last drop.

    삽질 101: "오버-" 하지 마세요. 1. 오버-클렌징 이중세안? 필요할땐 당연히 해야죠. 하지만 별로 얼굴에 한것도 없는데 (ex.일상용 자차 +쿠션 살짝) 1-2 차세안제를 각각 맥시멈 세정력으로 (ex. 클오 + 퍼펙트휩) 세안하고 "피부가 너무 민감해서~" "저는 건성이구요(피부문제는 여드름) ~"

    misinformation about the safety of cosmetic ingredients, especially in relation to EWG rating. They officially took a stand against clean beauty, saying that it feeds on the general public's insecurities and lack of knowledge of how chemicals work. This is the first time I see

    Fun fact: while "slugging" has been labelled a Korean beauty trend by Western media, Korean media clearly calls it a foreign beauty trend popularised by Tiktok and IG. Much like the 10 step Korean skincare routine, "slugging" never existed in Korea. #kbeauty

    that people who don't have a solid background in chemistry should not speak about cosmetic safety (!) and goes on to say that they hope media, influencers and beauty ingredient analysis apps like Hwahae will be held accountable for contributing to spread fearmongering and

    an official authority take such a strong position on the clownery that is the clean beauty phenomenon. The speaker also took a jab at Director Pi (one of the most popular beauty creators on Korean YT) and at how she dismisses products based on EWG ratings and said

    Fun fact: micellar water (and cleansing water lately) are more popular than cleansing oils in Korea 🥸 The 10 step routine is a myth created in the West to sell people random products, there are standard routines suitable for everyone.

    Yes! I feel that when we hear “double cleanse” we think only oil and water based cleansers. Both contain surfactants just like a micellar water. Use the combination that works best for you! 😊

    The Gyeongsangbuk-do Government Institute of Health & Environment commissioned tests on 40 popular Korean sunscreens to ensure they adhered to safety standards regarding UV filter restrictions and heavy metal content. They confirmed all sunscreens met safety standards. #kbeauty
