When it comes to beauty in Korea, there's a real emphasis on correcting your actual skin quality instead of fixing imperfections later with makeup. Because of this attitude, Korean skincare regimens are more involved than your typical Australian quick cleanse + moisturiser.
Most routines include at least six steps: double-cleansing with an oil-based cleanser then once with a foaming cleanser, toner, serum, emulsion, cream, and SPF-infused BB cream.
Here are the best five beauty-buys from Korea available on eBay. Also, if you sign up to their new feature-packed membership program, eBay Plus, you can get it sent straight to your desk, for free! Plus, if you decide you don’t like it, you can return it for free too (unopened and unused of course, because that’s just gross). It’s a win-win!
With 80% of the ingredients in this little gem being made up of Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, this gel is amazing for soothing irritated skin. Because it's also rich in polysaccharides and Propolis extract it works to fade acne scars, brighten skin tone, and maintain hydration throughout the day. This gel moisturiser leaves skin refreshed and hydrated, balancing moisture and oiliness.
This thin yet strong, 100% cellulose sheet is naturally derived, effectively delivering the solution by adhering lightly to the skin.
