“The products are carefully formulated with ingredients such as snail mucin, ginseng and fermented rice, which have been used in traditional Korean beauty rituals for centuries.”
Beauty fans on TikTok are raving about the results they’ve gotten from using Korean products.

Charlotte Cho revealed that there is a specific order to apply K-Beauty products to achieve the best results.
Double cleansing is an essential step for removing makeup, sunscreen and dirt from the skin.
She recommends following this with exfoliation, toner, and then serums.
This helps buff away dead skin and replenish moisture, while also addressing issues such as acne, discoloration or anti-aging.
Cho then recommends using a sheet mask, eye cream, and moisturizer for hydration.
SPF should be worn during the day to protect the skin from damage.
