Western brands have been the top and go-to choice when it comes to makeup and skincare. However, the Korean brands have taken the beauty world by storm and have given the western brands a run for their money. It is unclear whether the skincare brands became famous before the KPop fever or vice versa, but what is clear is that everybody loves these Korean brands.
So why the outpouring of love for these brands? Here are a few reasons:
1. Koreans have the most flawless and glowing skin.
Koreans start their skincare young, young girls, and even boys are taught proper techniques in caring for their skin, such as exfoliating and moisturizing the skin. That’s why caring for the skin becomes a routine to them. With skin as smooth and flawless as theirs, who wouldn’t believe in their products, right?
2. Focuses on improving the skin rather than hiding the imperfections.
Korean skincare focuses on getting to the root cause of the skin problem while the western brands put more emphasis on covering it up. Korean brands, if you will notice, have more skincare products than makeup lines. After all, good skin, and not a good foundation base, is the key to flawless makeup.
3. Korean brands have natural ingredients.
The Face Shop, one of the leading Korean brands in the market, uses natural and nature-friendly ingredients on their skincare and makeup products. With fewer chemicals in their products, customers prefer them as they are milder and gentler on the skin.
4. These products are relatively cheaper than their western counterparts.
With these skincare products, you will surely have the best skin without putting a black hole in your pockets. Expensive does not always mean the best quality as these babies cost more or less half the price of those western brands, but they work just as good, if not better.
