K-Beauty

K-Beauty is an umbrella term for skin-care products that derive from South Korea.[1][2][3][4] The fad gained popularity worldwide, particularly in the U.S., in 2016[5][6][7][8][9] and focuses on health, hydration and a preferred lack of pigment.[10][11][12][13] Products used include ingredients such as snail slime, morphing masks, bee venom (an anti-inflammatory “faux-tox” alleged to relax facial muscles), moisturizing starfish extract, and pig collagen.[14][15][16] The regimen involves a series of steps including cleansing rituals (with oil and water based products), sheet masks, essences, serums, moisturizers, cushion compacts, fermented products, and SPF 35 sunscreen. At night, the sunscreen is replaced by a “sleep cream”.[17][1] Each regimen is addressed differently depending on complexion factors including hormonal fluctuations and lifestyle choices.[18][19]
