(🇮🇹 nei commenti) #ad #광고 It’s said that Hwang Jin-yi, a young courtesan of the Joseon Dynasty renowned for her exceptional beauty, used red ginseng to take care of her skin. According to old folk stories, she used to wash her face using ginseng-boiled water twice a day and bathed in a decoction of ginseng leaves multiple times a week to preserve her clear and bright complexion. These anecdotes, along with many historical records of the time, are testimony of the power of Red Ginseng, the most ancient anti-aging ingredient found in Korean beauty. Red Ginseng is a plant with exceptional adaptogenic properties that has been used as a traditional herbal medicine for many centuries in Asia. Korean Red Ginseng, in particular, became known internationally as the best quality ginseng in the world. This is mainly due to the particular geographical characteristics of the Korean peninsula that constitute the ideal growing environment for the ginseng plant.

Given the sheer amount of Korean beauty products launching every month, it’s hard to keep up with what’s new in K-Beauty. To help you navigate the complex world of Korean Beauty, every week I break down the hottest beauty launches coming from Korea.

Unlike with my monthly posts on K-Beauty bestsellers, you won’t find any link to purchase these products as they just became available in Korea.

But without further ado, here are the latest Korean skincare offerings of the week! Don’t forget to check out this week’s make-up launches as well.

Su:m37° – Heart Edition

LG Household & Health Care’s natural fermentation Su:m37° released “Heart Edition“, a limited edition set that conveys a warm message of love and support, at a time when many people are separated from their loved ones due to social distancing.

In particular, the set was created in collaboration with Haam Young-hoon, an up-and-coming pictographer who raised to fame after designing the logo of the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympic Winter Games. The packaging of the set is inspired by “LOVE”, a series where the artist uses dots to reinvent the heart symbol and celebrate the feeling of love.

The Heart Edition includes Su:m37°’s most loved products: in March the brand released a first set containing their “Secret Essence Fundamental Treatment” along with their “Air Rising TF Dazzling Moist Micro Foam Cushion”, whereas in April the brand plans to release another set featuring “Water-Full Time Leap Water Gel Cream” and “Water-Full CC Cushion”.

🇬🇧 (🇮🇹 nei commenti) Raise your hand if you ever read an online comment that sounded something like: "I always get sunburn whenever I wear an Asian sunscreen outside, these sunscreens are a scam!" When Asian beauty started to gain popularity outside of Asia, many people fell head over heels for the lightweight, comfortable formulas of Asian sunscreens... but not many seem to know about the difference between outdoors sunscreens and daily sunscreens in Asian beauty. This distinction actually exists in Western sunscreens as well, but it's more widespread in Asian beauty because of the characteristics of its market. Despite what you might perceive from looking at the online skincare community, the average Western consumer only wears sunscreen when they go to the beach, hence the vast majority of sunscreens available in the West are already designed for outdoor use. However, in many Asian countries wearing sunscreen everyday is nothing out of the ordinary and this led to a high demand for lightweight sunscreen formulas that could be worn comfortably on a daily basis, mostly in an indoor setting (going to the office, running errands around town etc). Usually, these sunscreens don’t have a high adhesion to the skin and wear off easily when they’re exposed to high temperatures, sweat or water. So if you're looking for a sunscreen suitable for that use, you'd better look for an 'outdoor sunscreen'. 'Outdoor sunscreens' are highly-resistant sunscreens that are designed to provide strong UV protection even in extreme conditions, including strong sunlight or intensive sport activity. In my latest video I talk about how to recognise an outdoor sunscreen from a daily sunscreen and I also share with you my favourite Korean sunscreens for both categories.  And for lovers of mineral sunscreens, don't worry I didn't forget about you! A new video on my favourite Korean mineral sunscreen is coming to your screens at the beginning of next week so watch this space!

🇬🇧 (🇮🇹 nei commenti) As I'm sure you noticed, facial pads became a huge phenomenon in Korean beauty over the last couple of years. While facial pads have always been available in Korea, this sudden popularity seems directly linked to the pandemic and the increasing numbers of skin concerns related to mask-wearing. Let's say you had to wear a face mask for 8 consecutive hours every day because your job, wouldn't it be nice to have a quick (and hypoallergenic) targeted treatment to soothe your skin anywhere on the go? But not all facial pads are made equal. While some types of pads can be a great addition to a daily skincare routine, not every facial pad is suitable for daily use. 💧 Cleansing Pads. Unlike makeup wipes, these are soft cotton pads soaked in a face cleanser and they should be used only when you can't cleanse your face at home. These are the only pads that leave a residue that should be washed off after use! 💥 Peeling Pads. Exfoliating pads that should be used in place of a regular exfoliant or scrub. Even if you have very resistant skin, exfoliating your skin every day is never a great idea (despite what some brands claim...), so use them sparingly according to your skin's needs. ✨Toner pads. Pads that can be used daily to replace your toner for an extra hydration boost. 🌸 Mask pads. Mini-sized sheet masks that can be used to target problematic areas. You can use them after cleansing or even as a quick pick-me-up during the day.

Given the sheer amount of Korean beauty products launching every month, it’s hard to keep up with what’s new in K-Beauty. To help you navigate the complex world of Korean Beauty, every week I break down the hottest beauty launches coming from Korea.

Unlike with my monthly posts on K-Beauty bestsellers, you won’t find any link to purchase these products as they just became available in Korea.

But without further ado, here are the latest Korean skincare offerings of the week! Don’t forget to check out this week’s make-up launches as well.

Su:m37° – Heart Edition

Sum37 - Heart Edition
Sum37 - Heart Edition

LG Household & Health Care’s natural fermentation Su:m37° released “Heart Edition“, a limited edition set that conveys a warm message of love and support, at a time when many people are separated from their loved ones due to social distancing.

In particular, the set was created in collaboration with Haam Young-hoon, an up-and-coming pictographer who raised to fame after designing the logo of the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympic Winter Games. The packaging of the set is inspired by “LOVE”, a series where the artist uses dots to reinvent the heart symbol and celebrate the feeling of love.

The Heart Edition includes Su:m37°’s most loved products: in March the brand released a first set containing their “Secret Essence Fundamental Treatment” along with their “Air Rising TF Dazzling Moist Micro Foam Cushion”, whereas in April the brand plans to release another set featuring “Water-Full Time Leap Water Gel Cream” and “Water-Full CC Cushion”.

Hersteller – Wonder Veggie line

Hersteller - Wonder Veggie line

Vegan beauty brand Hersteller launched “Wonder Veggie“, a new superfood vegan skincare line. The line was pre-launched exclusively at W Concept, a curated online store with a cult following in Korea.

“Wonder Veggie” is a vegan skincare line that captures the natural energy of green superfoods rich in vital nutrients. In addition, all products are weakly acidic, non-irritating and hypoallergenic, making them suitable for all skin types including the most sensitive ones.

The main ingredient of the line is Kale, one the top 10 superfoods identified by the World Health Organisation, which hydrates and clears skin, by improving it natural strength.

The “Wonder Veggie” line consists of 4 products: “Wonder Veggie Juicy Treatment Essence”, “Wonder Veggie Mellow Cleansing Balm”, “Wonder Veggie Balancing Cleansing Foam” and “Wonder Veggie Hydrating Gel Cream”, with the latter being launched next month.

Wonder Veggie Mellow Cleansing Balm

“Wonder Veggie Juicy Treatment Essence” is a first treatment essence that contains 90% Kale Leaf Extract, a powerful antioxidant that was gently soaked at low temperature for 72 hours to preserve its incredible properties. The formula of the essence combines Kale Leaf Extract, Basil Leaves and a Singreen complex, a blend of green fruits like Muscat Grapes, Green Papaya, Green Apple and Green Plums. Together, these ingredients deliver 7 major skin benefits at once: they’re antioxidant, improve skin texture, promote skin clarity, revitilise dull complexion, hydrate, soothe and restore the natural skin’s water and oil balance.

“Wonder Veggie Mellow Cleansing Balm” is a natural vegan cleansing balm with excellent moisturising properties. The product has an oil balm texture that melts at body temperature and gently wipes away even the heaviest makeup without irritation. Along with Kale, which protects the skin from damage during cleansing, the cleanser contains 30% olive oil to deeply hydrate the skin.

“Wonder Veggie Balancing Cleansing Foam” is a mildly acidic vegan cleansing foam that works to restore the natural’s skin balance after cleansing. Thanks to its natural coconut-derived surfactant, the rich and soft formula of the product thoroughly cleanses and hydrates the skin without irritation. The cleanser also contains multiple plant extracts derived from Lime, Noni (Morinda Citrifolia), Kale, Broccoli and Brussels Sprouts, natural sources of vitamins which work together to boost skin health.

🇬🇧 (🇮🇹 nei commenti) Can you tell which of these textures belong to a serum, which ones are essences and which ones are ampoules? I bet you can't. One of the (many) reasons why I'm so vocally against the myth of the "10 Step Korean Skincare Routine" is that it’s based on the premise that there's a standard for product nomenclature, when actually that is not the case. Companies decide to call a product "essence" / "serum" / "ampoule" etc according to how they would like customers to perceive the product. In other words: a name is just another advertising tool we advertisers use to make you interested in a product, just like a fancy packaging. Some websites will tell you that serums are usually more "concentrated" than essences, but that is a very ambiguous statement. Two different products might be labelled as "100% XYZ Plant Extract" but since you can't possibly know how much water goes into an extract, one product could be made of 98% water, while the other could be made of 80% water and still be labelled the same way. Likewise, a more viscous texture is not necessarily a sign of a "higher concentration". So what's the point of talking about "different concentrations"? Unlike what some foreign K-Beauty retailers claim, essences, serums and ampoules are considered equivalent products in Korea: liquid skincare treatments created to target a specific skin concern. This is why on the vast majority of beauty online shops in Korea, you will see these products in the same category (slide 3). Incidentally, this also means that you don't ~need~ to use all these products, just find a product with a formula and a texture you like and run with it! If you want to use multiple of these products, just remember to start from the one with the highest water content. A bonus trivia on this topic: did you know that @sulwhasoo.official 's iconic "First Care Activating Serum" is actually marketed as an essence in Korea? The brand decided to adopt the English name "Serum" because at the time the concept of "essence" was still new to the foreign audience. #rasianbeauty #kbeautyaddict #abcommunity #koreancosmetics #cosmeticacoreana #cosmeticicoreani #skincarecorea

(🇮🇹 nei commenti) #ad #광고 It’s said that Hwang Jin-yi, a young courtesan of the Joseon Dynasty renowned for her exceptional beauty, used red ginseng to take care of her skin. According to old folk stories, she used to wash her face using ginseng-boiled water twice a day and bathed in a decoction of ginseng leaves multiple times a week to preserve her clear and bright complexion. These anecdotes, along with many historical records of the time, are testimony of the power of Red Ginseng, the most ancient anti-aging ingredient found in Korean beauty. Red Ginseng is a plant with exceptional adaptogenic properties that has been used as a traditional herbal medicine for many centuries in Asia. Korean Red Ginseng, in particular, became known internationally as the best quality ginseng in the world. This is mainly due to the particular geographical characteristics of the Korean peninsula that constitute the ideal growing environment for the ginseng plant. But not all ginseng is made equal: to protect the reputation of Korean Red Ginseng against low-quality counterfeits, the Korean government instituted a monopoly on ginseng in 1899 that lasted until 1996. Today I take you through the history of Donginbi, a beauty brand that embodies the expertise and quality of Cheong Kwan Jang, the former state monopoly on ginseng and an international symbol of state-of-the-art ginseng.

🇬🇧 (🇮🇹 nei commenti) Raise your hand if you ever read an online comment that sounded something like: "I always get sunburn whenever I wear an Asian sunscreen outside, these sunscreens are a scam!" When Asian beauty started to gain popularity outside of Asia, many people fell head over heels for the lightweight, comfortable formulas of Asian sunscreens... but not many seem to know about the difference between outdoors sunscreens and daily sunscreens in Asian beauty. This distinction actually exists in Western sunscreens as well, but it's more widespread in Asian beauty because of the characteristics of its market. Despite what you might perceive from looking at the online skincare community, the average Western consumer only wears sunscreen when they go to the beach, hence the vast majority of sunscreens available in the West are already designed for outdoor use. However, in many Asian countries wearing sunscreen everyday is nothing out of the ordinary and this led to a high demand for lightweight sunscreen formulas that could be worn comfortably on a daily basis, mostly in an indoor setting (going to the office, running errands around town etc). Usually, these sunscreens don’t have a high adhesion to the skin and wear off easily when they’re exposed to high temperatures, sweat or water. So if you're looking for a sunscreen suitable for that use, you'd better look for an 'outdoor sunscreen'. 'Outdoor sunscreens' are highly-resistant sunscreens that are designed to provide strong UV protection even in extreme conditions, including strong sunlight or intensive sport activity. In my latest video I talk about how to recognise an outdoor sunscreen from a daily sunscreen and I also share with you my favourite Korean sunscreens for both categories.  And for lovers of mineral sunscreens, don't worry I didn't forget about you! A new video on my favourite Korean mineral sunscreen is coming to your screens at the beginning of next week so watch this space!

Given the sheer amount of Korean beauty products launching every month, it’s hard to keep up with what’s new in K-Beauty. To help you navigate the complex world of Korean Beauty, every week I break down the hottest beauty launches coming from Korea.

Unlike with my monthly posts on K-Beauty bestsellers, you won’t find any link to purchase these products as they just became available in Korea.

But without further ado, here are the latest Korean skincare offerings of the week! Don’t forget to check out this week’s make-up launches as well.

Su:m37° – Heart Edition

Sum37 - Heart Edition

LG Household & Health Care’s natural fermentation Su:m37° released “Heart Edition“, a limited edition set that conveys a warm message of love and support, at a time when many people are separated from their loved ones due to social distancing.

In particular, the set was created in collaboration with Haam Young-hoon, an up-and-coming pictographer who raised to fame after designing the logo of the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympic Winter Games. The packaging of the set is inspired by “LOVE”, a series where the artist uses dots to reinvent the heart symbol and celebrate the feeling of love.

The Heart Edition includes Su:m37°’s most loved products: in March the brand released a first set containing their “Secret Essence Fundamental Treatment” along with their “Air Rising TF Dazzling Moist Micro Foam Cushion”, whereas in April the brand plans to release another set featuring “Water-Full Time Leap Water Gel Cream” and “Water-Full CC Cushion”.

Hersteller – Wonder Veggie line

Vegan beauty brand Hersteller launched “Wonder Veggie“, a new superfood vegan skincare line. The line was pre-launched exclusively at W Concept, a curated online store with a cult following in Korea.

“Wonder Veggie” is a vegan skincare line that captures the natural energy of green superfoods rich in vital nutrients. In addition, all products are weakly acidic, non-irritating and hypoallergenic, making them suitable for all skin types including the most sensitive ones.

The main ingredient of the line is Kale, one the top 10 superfoods identified by the World Health Organisation, which hydrates and clears skin, by improving it natural strength.

The “Wonder Veggie” line consists of 4 products: “Wonder Veggie Juicy Treatment Essence”, “Wonder Veggie Mellow Cleansing Balm”, “Wonder Veggie Balancing Cleansing Foam” and “Wonder Veggie Hydrating Gel Cream”, with the latter being launched next month.

🇬🇧 (🇮🇹 nei commenti) As I'm sure you noticed, facial pads became a huge phenomenon in Korean beauty over the last couple of years. While facial pads have always been available in Korea, this sudden popularity seems directly linked to the pandemic and the increasing numbers of skin concerns related to mask-wearing. Let's say you had to wear a face mask for 8 consecutive hours every day because your job, wouldn't it be nice to have a quick (and hypoallergenic) targeted treatment to soothe your skin anywhere on the go? But not all facial pads are made equal. While some types of pads can be a great addition to a daily skincare routine, not every facial pad is suitable for daily use. 💧 Cleansing Pads. Unlike makeup wipes, these are soft cotton pads soaked in a face cleanser and they should be used only when you can't cleanse your face at home. These are the only pads that leave a residue that should be washed off after use! 💥 Peeling Pads. Exfoliating pads that should be used in place of a regular exfoliant or scrub. Even if you have very resistant skin, exfoliating your skin every day is never a great idea (despite what some brands claim...), so use them sparingly according to your skin's needs. ✨Toner pads. Pads that can be used daily to replace your toner for an extra hydration boost. 🌸 Mask pads. Mini-sized sheet masks that can be used to target problematic areas. You can use them after cleansing or even as a quick pick-me-up during the day.

🇬🇧 (🇮🇹 nei commenti) Can you tell which of these textures belong to a serum, which ones are essences and which ones are ampoules? I bet you can't. One of the (many) reasons why I'm so vocally against the myth of the "10 Step Korean Skincare Routine" is that it’s based on the premise that there's a standard for product nomenclature, when actually that is not the case. Companies decide to call a product "essence" / "serum" / "ampoule" etc according to how they would like customers to perceive the product. In other words: a name is just another advertising tool we advertisers use to make you interested in a product, just like a fancy packaging. Some websites will tell you that serums are usually more "concentrated" than essences, but that is a very ambiguous statement. Two different products might be labelled as "100% XYZ Plant Extract" but since you can't possibly know how much water goes into an extract, one product could be made of 98% water, while the other could be made of 80% water and still be labelled the same way. Likewise, a more viscous texture is not necessarily a sign of a "higher concentration". So what's the point of talking about "different concentrations"? Unlike what some foreign K-Beauty retailers claim, essences, serums and ampoules are considered equivalent products in Korea: liquid skincare treatments created to target a specific skin concern. This is why on the vast majority of beauty online shops in Korea, you will see these products in the same category (slide 3). Incidentally, this also means that you don't ~need~ to use all these products, just find a product with a formula and a texture you like and run with it! If you want to use multiple of these products, just remember to start from the one with the highest water content. A bonus trivia on this topic: did you know that @sulwhasoo.official 's iconic "First Care Activating Serum" is actually marketed as an essence in Korea? The brand decided to adopt the English name "Serum" because at the time the concept of "essence" was still new to the foreign audience. #rasianbeauty #kbeautyaddict #abcommunity #koreancosmetics #cosmeticacoreana #cosmeticicoreani #skincarecorea

Incidentally, this also means that you don't ~need~ to use all these products, just find a product with a formula and a texture you like and run with it! If you want to use multiple of these products, just remember to start from the one with the highest water content. A bonus trivia on this topic: did you know that @sulwhasoo.official 's iconic "First Care Activating Serum" is actually marketed as an essence in Korea? The brand decided to adopt the English name "Serum" because at the time the concept of "essence" was still new to the foreign audience. #rasianbeauty #kbeautyaddict #abcommunity #koreancosmetics #cosmeticacoreana #cosmeticicoreani #skincarecorea
🇬🇧 (🇮🇹 nei commenti) Can you tell which of these textures belong to a serum, which ones are essences and which ones are ampoules? I bet you can't. One of the (many) reasons why I'm so vocally against the myth of the "10 Step Korean Skincare Routine" is that it’s based on the premise that there's a standard for product nomenclature, when actually that is not the case. Companies decide to call a product "essence" / "serum" / "ampoule" etc according to how they would like customers to perceive the product. In other words: a name is just another advertising tool we advertisers use to make you interested in a product, just like a fancy packaging. Some websites will tell you that serums are usually more "concentrated" than essences, but that is a very ambiguous statement. Two different products might be labelled as "100% XYZ Plant Extract" but since you can't possibly know how much water goes into an extract, one product could be made of 98% water, while the other could be made of 80% water and still be labelled the same way. Likewise, a more viscous texture is not necessarily a sign of a "higher concentration". So what's the point of talking about "different concentrations"?

Given the sheer amount of Korean beauty products launching every month, it’s hard to keep up with what’s new in K-Beauty. To help you navigate the complex world of Korean Beauty, every week I break down the hottest beauty launches coming from Korea.

Unlike with my monthly posts on K-Beauty bestsellers, you won’t find any link to purchase these products as they just became available in Korea.

But without further ado, here are the latest Korean skincare offerings of the week! Don’t forget to check out this week’s make-up launches as well.

Su:m37° – Heart Edition

Sum37 - Heart Edition
Sum37 - Heart Edition

LG Household & Health Care’s natural fermentation Su:m37° released “Heart Edition“, a limited edition set that conveys a warm message of love and support, at a time when many people are separated from their loved ones due to social distancing.

In particular, the set was created in collaboration with Haam Young-hoon, an up-and-coming pictographer who raised to fame after designing the logo of the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympic Winter Games. The packaging of the set is inspired by “LOVE”, a series where the artist uses dots to reinvent the heart symbol and celebrate the feeling of love.

The Heart Edition includes Su:m37°’s most loved products: in March the brand released a first set containing their “Secret Essence Fundamental Treatment” along with their “Air Rising TF Dazzling Moist Micro Foam Cushion”, whereas in April the brand plans to release another set featuring “Water-Full Time Leap Water Gel Cream” and “Water-Full CC Cushion”.

Hersteller – Wonder Veggie line

Hersteller - Wonder Veggie line

Vegan beauty brand Hersteller launched “Wonder Veggie“, a new superfood vegan skincare line. The line was pre-launched exclusively at W Concept, a curated online store with a cult following in Korea.

“Wonder Veggie” is a vegan skincare line that captures the natural energy of green superfoods rich in vital nutrients. In addition, all products are weakly acidic, non-irritating and hypoallergenic, making them suitable for all skin types including the most sensitive ones.

The main ingredient of the line is Kale, one the top 10 superfoods identified by the World Health Organisation, which hydrates and clears skin, by improving it natural strength.

The “Wonder Veggie” line consists of 4 products: “Wonder Veggie Juicy Treatment Essence”, “Wonder Veggie Mellow Cleansing Balm”, “Wonder Veggie Balancing Cleansing Foam” and “Wonder Veggie Hydrating Gel Cream”, with the latter being launched next month.

The formula of the essence combines Kale Leaf Extract, Basil Leaves and a Singreen complex, a blend of green fruits like Muscat Grapes, Green Papaya, Green Apple and Green Plums. Together, these ingredients deliver 7 major skin benefits at once: they’re antioxidant, improve skin texture, promote skin clarity, revitilise dull complexion, hydrate, soothe and restore the natural skin’s water and oil balance.

4/5
🇬🇧 (🇮🇹 nei commenti) An interesting Korean beauty trend that was accelerated by the pandemic is 'home-aesthetic', the practice of enjoying professional beauty treatments at home (or trying, at least 😂) after social distancing lead many people to refrain from visiting aesthetic clinics on a regular basis. The trend involved skincare (with modelling masks and professional devices becoming a huge topic last year), makeup (with eyebrow lamination kits, eyelash extension kits and the likes), but it was especially noticeable in nail care, with the rising popularity of convenient (and amateur-friendly!) at-home gel manicure kits. Believe it or not I used to be really invested in nail art, but good old corona blues made me lose all motivation to take care of my nails. However, recently I gave the Speedy Gel kits by @wakemake_official a try to cheer myself up from a stressful period, and it felt really great to reconnect with my old passion. They're sets of nail stickers that harden like gel polish under a UV lamp. They come in boxes of 28 pieces (so you can use them at least twice, even more if you only replace some pieces), you just have to peel off the stickers, place them on your nail, cut them and let them sit under a UV lamp for 1 minute and that's it! The kit I'm wearing in this picture is "#12 Chic Marble Blue". #스피디젤네일 #올리브영 #웨이크메이크 #올리브영추천템 #젤네일추천 #젤네일스티커 #koreanbeautyproduct #koreanmakeup #cosmeticacoreana #skincarecoreana
