Asian women have a reputation for taking good care of their skin, but Korean women already play in another league . And it is that the cosmetics of this country comes directly from the future. You will fall in love with its packaging, but also with its light textures, its smells and, above all, its effectiveness, because they really work. These are our favorite Korean cosmetic products.
Korean cosmetics for everyone
- Lips . We had never seen lip-only masks until Korean cosmetics crossed our path. And it is that, although it is true that in Europe we often moisturize them with balm and lipsticks, we do not go any further in their care. Korean women apply patches to achieve a much more intense hydration and, in addition, they have fun doing it because they sell them in the most diverse forms.
- Serums . The textures of their cosmetics seem from another planet and good proof of this are the numerous formats in which we can find their serums. The most interesting ones contain glycolic acid, which makes the skin regenerate at night and is much smoother and more luminous.
- Facemasks . If there is a star cosmetic in Korea, it is masks. They come in all imaginable shapes and colors, but they are also very effective. Foam foams, for example, became very fashionable last year and they cleanse the skin in depth. Others with anti-aging complexes even contain gold. You will have to make the mixture yourself and apply it on your face. The good thing is that they are so delicate with the skin that they can even be put on the eyelids to fight against the wrinkles that form in that sensitive part.
