I tried 5 on-trend Korean beauty products (including snail gel) so you won't have to
I don’t know when winter is coming, but summer is definitely here. And it hates me!
I’m sure some people here bask in the heat and think “Huzzah! Time for flip flops and beach trips and limka!” However, I think… okay, well, I love limka…
But apart from that I hiss at sunburn, snarl at humidity and groan at loadshedding. I thought I had tried everything (drink water, apply sunscreen, right?) to make summer more bearable, at least in the beauty and skincare department, but when I discovered these products popular in Korea and parts of East Asia I realised my regime had been lacking.
Korean beauty products are all the rage these days: they've been reviewed extensively in top international magazines and have garnered a cult following. So I figured, why not give them a try? Sourcing these products was pretty easy, I scored some through Facebook pages and ordered some directly from stores abroad (they had international shipping, yay!).
Here's what happened.
