Why trust Beauty Base for Korean skincare?

Korean beauty is one of the cosmetics industry’s leading trends in the 2020s. When something has this kind of meteoric rise, it’s difficult to identify whom to trust when considering getting involved. Shop from trusted, established online retailers like Beauty Base to avoid scams and ensure you’re receiving the highest-quality products reliably and at an exceptional value. As one of the UK’s leading online cosmetics retailers, you can trust Beauty Base to deliver an exceptional service at a competitive price.

What makes K-Beauty unique?

It can be easy to dismiss K-Beauty as another flash in the pan trend, but its relatively recent Western success is no coincidence. Below, we’ve detailed what makes K-Beauty unique and the factors that have contributed to its surge in popularity:

• Prevention & Hydration - The main focus of K-Beauty products is to provide your skin with ample hydration, creating a strong barrier against potentially harmful chemicals.
• Gentle Ingredients - Mild ingredients are very common in Korean skincare. Natural ingredients, including Centella Asiatica and Ginseng, help hydrate and nourish skin for extended periods.
• Affordability - There is an incredibly competitive skincare market in South Korea, so the best brands keep prices low to encourage shoppers to choose them.

Korean skincare routine for beginners

Discovering a new skincare method can be just as daunting as it is exciting. Sometimes it means scrapping a routine you’ve been familiar with for years and introducing something completely alien. That’s why we’ve taken the time to recommend a simple, easy-to-follow introductory Korean skincare routine that will help you get used to the products and methods quickly.

1. Apply a mild sunscreen in the morning as a foundation and for essential UV protection.
2. Apply a water-based cleanser in the morning and evening to remove dirt and sweat. Use a gentle cleanser for a final clean.
3. Follow your cleansing with a moisturiser that keeps your skin feeling light and repairs the skin barrier.
4. When removing make-up, use an oil cleanser to remove excess oil and reset your skin barrier for the night.
