8 Unusual Beauty Techniques That Are Popular in South Korea

It is no secret that, in recent years, South Korea has been emerging in the consumption of brands related to beauty. Asian women are today the first to test new cosmetics, and the rest of the world has no choice but to wait for the “miracle” products to reach the stores.

But Asians are often known for having a peculiar view of things, and the beauty business is no different. O awesome.club gathered for you the most controversial novelties of the Korean beauty industry. All of them arouse a lot of curiosity, especially among the female ward.

Women with thinning hair know the desperation of trying to keep the hair volume, even for an hour. Fortunately, Asians have found a solution to the problem: a technique that makes possible a procedure that guarantees a dazzling hair look for months. And if we are talking about the volume of the roots, then this system is much more effective than the empty promises made by shampoo manufacturers.

Judging by the popularity of the brand, Koreans are not bothered by the fact that one of the ingredients in the product is horse oil. On the contrary, they believe that processed hair fat is a very beneficial component. The developers emphasize the similarity of the chemical structure of the oiliness of the human body with that of the horse, which would ensure not only hydration and care for the skin of the face, but would also favor the disappearance of scars and the healing of small injuries. The supposed properties made the product super popular among Asian women. Despite this, women in other countries don’t seem very interested in putting horse fat on their faces.

Would you dare to buy a bottle of cream with the inscription “Poison” on it? In South Korea, the shelf would be empty in a matter of minutes. It may sound strange to Westerners, but the truth is that medicinal properties of natural poisons have been known since ancient times. Korea then decided to go back to its origins and added doses of bee venom to some cosmetics. The component would have the ability to cure dermatological diseases, in addition to having other beneficial effects. It seems that most women will need to review their own concepts.

Yep, that’s right: a jar of caviar in your cosmetics drawer. Two balls on the face in the morning as a moisturizer and 3 at night to restore the skin. Obviously, the creation made by Korean cosmetologists is not 100% natural, so you have to be careful not to let someone unsuspecting put your beauty product in the food.

Continuing with the mix between cooking and aesthetics, we present Korean cream cheese. And don’t doubt it, this is real cheese, not just a name to get attention. According to reviews, the rejuvenating and moisturizing properties exceed all expectations, but spreading cheese over the skin of the face is a rather laborious task. We do not recommend that you use the product 5 minutes before that meeting with the crush🇧🇷

Covering your face in gold is both fun and luxurious. We would bet that no woman would pass up the chance to experience royal treatment. However, in addition to a number of reviews about the positive effects, there are also caveats for using it. Wouldn’t it be a shame to find out you have a gold allergy?

Sleeping Pack is a night mask for the face, to be applied before going to sleep and removed in the morning. The Korean beauty industry recommends that anyone who wants to preserve their skin’s freshness and whiteness undergo the blood-based treatment. Yeah, for a lot of people, it’s already possible to go out with the product on their face and do a “work” at the crossroads. But it is worth noting that the blood that would be present in the cream is dragon. That is, the effects are more mystical than whitening spots and smoothing wrinkles.

Jamsu is a South Korean trick that is also known as “immersion”. The purpose of the method is to obtain smooth and velvety skin, maximizing the makeup effect. After applying the basic products (primer, foundation and concealer) to your face, you need to apply talcum powder liberally to your face and dip it in ice water for 15 to 30 seconds. Dry your face with a clean towel, and you’re done! Makeup will be well fixed on the skin, and the face will remain fresh for the whole day.

Whether because of the particularity of Korean cosmetics, or because of the consequences of the procedure, the Internet was divided: one group can no longer imagine their own life without the procedure, while another does not understand how anyone can put it into practice.

In South Korea, plastic surgery is something natural and extremely popular. It may even be difficult to imagine, but the truth is that many people there expect surgery from a very early age. There are even parents who give a procedure as a gift for their teenage children’s birthday. The most common plastic surgery is to change the shape of the face. When looking at “before and after” pictures, one gets the impression that the doctors have molded a whole new person. It’s amazing and a little scary at the same time.
