SkinbyKristin on TikTok<\/a>, credits the internet for her introduction.<\/p>\n“When I went to school in 2018, K-beauty was not a thing,” Leite said.<\/p>\n
Now, they’re some of the influencer’s most loved products and a favorite of many of her followers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said, “I love it because it is prevention, hydration, layering, consistency and that is so important. One of the biggest things, too, is the price point for it because everybody can use it; all skin types, all budgets.”<\/p>\n
Pak says the key to Korean skincare success is its ingredients and layering technique.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Centella, Cica, those are great for acne-prone skin. And then you have collagen peptide and retinol for anti-wrinkle,” she explained.<\/p>\n
She said the regimen is just as important as the products and suggests that you layer them accordingly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“So you do toner, serum, moisturizer and then you put neck cream or eye cream, and then of course sunscreen,” Pak said.<\/p>\n
She says to start simple and with an emphasis on healing and protecting your skin’s barrier.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Pak explains, “You want healthy skin, then you can treat it. Heal the skin, treat the skin.”<\/p>\n
From the excitement online to the sales in store, there seems to be no doubt that this trend isn’t going anywhere.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leite says, “It’s not all hype at all; there’s so much behind Korean skincare. They have beautiful skin. I think it’s great that we’re finally starting to see it over here.”<\/p>\n
