Skin care all the way from Korea

I became interested in some different skin care regimens from different countries. I found some interesting things on the web. I thought I'd start with Korea. My eating habits probably have a lot to do with the way my skin looks but If I can find some new amazing product I wouldn't mind trying it. Dr. Choi doesn’t have his own line of products, but he had some general recommendations about the types of products he suggests to patients. He believes that hydration is the most important part of any skin care regimen for any age. “When [hydration] falls apart, nothing else works,” he said. “A common misconception is that those with oily skin may be well hydrated. Even those with oilier skin types could be insufficiently hydrated. Beyond drinking enough water, skincare products truly go a long way.” He recommends products containing hyaluronic acid and glycerin. Rice extract and seaweed also work well, and peptides — which nourish skin — are also “water-loving” and help to keep skin hydrated. In general, women in Korea choose very focused products, rather than multi-taskers. Ampoules (super concentrated serums) and masks, which provide more intensive treatments, are very popular.

  1. There are always so many different tips and tricks when it comes to health and beauty. Everyone seems to hold a different opinion of what works and what doesn't. I find that it's fairly difficult to weed out the quality information from the hearsay and buzz. However, it sounds like he is very educated.
