About Korean Skincare
“Korean skincare” has a whopping monthly search volume of 49,500. Top K-beauty brand LANEIGE boasts a monthly search volume of 60,500, with Erborian and Beauty of Joseon following closely behind. This “trend” is not slowing down, and we are sure K-beauty is becoming a permanent part of the Western skincare industry. Korea's worst kept secret is finally at our fingertips.
Discovering makeup in the 2010's era of full glam was always going to lead me to beauty writing. A lover of pop culture and language, my content is always rooted in modern day trends. My beauty holy grails are the LANEIGE Lip Glowy Balms, L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream, detox masks for my skin, and any hair product that promises to repair, hydrate, and strengthen!
