When I moved to Seoul I was initially quite skeptical about Korean products. I was using my pricey western ones for ages and I decided to give a try when I discovered all these ladies shopping around like crazy.
I’ve been using Korean skin care and makeup regularly since then,and I’ve been reaching out seldomly to my Western products. Don’t get me wrong, Western brands aren’t bad, Korean products are just so much better in my opinion. The products are amazing for their price, especially if you buy them directly in Asia.
I also love their beauty standards which are different from the Western culture. For example, they are really focus on prevention and almost all women, wear natural makeup.
In Seoul, cosmetics stores are everywhere. I mean literally everywhere. Whether you’re in a shopping mall or in the subway, you’ll find a cosmetics store. Not only can you buy cosmetics anywhere, but you can choose from an incredible amount of brands.
When it comes to skincare & beauty, the Koreans have got it down.They are some of the most demanding beauty consumers in the world and their high standards are keeping the Korean beauty industry striving to keep up.
On top of that, Korean consumers have a voracious appetite for skincare, which in turn helps fund extensive R&D from the central government. With thousands of beauty brands all competing for market share, the result is a Hyper-competitive, incredibly innovative industry that’s at the forefront of the beauty world.
