| TO K-BEAUTY |
| So, what is it? K-Beauty (short for Korean beauty) is a trend that’s become increasingly popular, starting with beauty insiders who brought back the latest products from their travels to South Korea, the epicenter for cutting-edge skincare. It’s now reached the point where there’s a whole section of K-Beauty products on Sephora.com. |
| Like what? For the daring, there are products like snail cream (yes, you read that right — one of the ingredients is snail-slime extract); for the truly committed, there are 12-step regimens for your youngest, dewiest skin ever. “You have to sift through a lot of gimmicky stuff, but the sheet masks can be easily incorporated into your beauty regimen,” says YouTube beauty influencer Michele Wang. |
| What’s so great about sheet masks? Sheet masks, the most popular product, can be found in practically every flavor, to treat every conceivable skin trouble, on the K-Beauty e-commerce site Missha. These single-use, disposable, at-home facial treatments are applied to cleansed, toner-prepped skin for 10–20 minutes until the ingredients are absorbed. |
| Should I try it? Warning: You’ll look a bit like Hannibal Lecter wearing what’s basically a paper cutout of your face, with holes for your eyes, nose and mouth. But from all accounts, they can definitely give your dull skin a pick-me-up. And cleanup is super simple as you just peel off the mask and massage excess liquid into your skin. An added bonus: When someone mentions K-Beauty, you can officially say, “Been there, done that!” |
