K-beauty makes me relaxed and happy❤️ my skin is always so thankful when I take a break from more severe actives and treat myself to luxurious kind feeling K beauty products. They are the masters of hydration. I didn’t know how much moisture my skin was missing until I started dabbling with K beauty products.
Perfect comment. We'd have a great deal of fun shopping together as our evaluation is so similar. What are your top three MUST BUY NOW recommendations when it comes to K Beauty products? I looooove enthusiastic recommendations and will definitely follow them up (unless I already have and love them too).
The Koreans lead the way in this market now, forrrrrr sure. Creative, dynamic, entirely self-propelled brands doing exciting (okay, sometimes slightly gimmicky) things at sensational price points which knock the Western brands sideways (they realised they can't keep jacking prices up and thinking the general public will accept these insultingly and entirely unnecessary price bloats-- not when Japan and Korea can make 'great quality at great prices' work). The more you put out there and experiment with, the more you'll increase your chances of hitting that one truly excellent product that thrills and spreads via ecstatic word of mouth recommendation. The Korean cleansers and make up removers are sensational. Not to mention lip stains and eyeliners etc. Thanks for this upload; skincare, fragrance, bodycare and make up shopping has always been one of my 'happy places'. Well, shopping in general for beautiful unusual things made with care and expertise if we're really going to go there...ahahaha..ahem. 😉😄
Hello Susan, I would love an episode related to people of color and how we can Prevent hyperpigmentation I’m now 47 with combo to dry skin and I’ve noticed I’m getting hyperpigmentation on my cheeks. Hope you do bring someone to talk more about that subject, thank you 😊
On the subject of barrier creams being a "marketing term" - this isn't totally accurate. In Korea there is a category of product called "functional cosmetics" which are somewhere between a cosmetic and a drug, similar to the Japanese category of "quasi-drug" and elsewhere sometimes colloquially described as "cosmeceuticals." Korea's functional cosmetics can fit into one or more of a handful of accepted functions (e.g. brightening, anti-wrinkle) and must provide proof to validate whatever claim they're making. (This proof can simply be the inclusion of an ingredient known to be effective for that function.) One of the accepted functions is "skin barrier restoration" which iirc was one of the more recently added categories. The first Korean skincare product to be officially recognized by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety as a barrier restoring product was Atopalm MLE Cream (which is stocked by Sokoglam!)
Love both of your work and massive respect for what Charlotte has achieved but I really wish you weren’t promoting such wasteful items like sheet masks (and toner pads), they’re clearly not necessary for a good skincare routine.
please flag your production team to adjust the audio setup for future filming at this spot 🥲 tough to listen to and that is such a bummer with such a cool guest

I love her!
Omg this is like the old school Mixed Makeup episode with Charlotte ❤ !

The sound from the microphone is howling and it's a little hard to hear😅
We didn’t have the best mics for sure. Apologies!!
The Haru Haru sunscreen is my favorite. I’ve repurchased countless times. The BEST ❤

I was interested in this content but cannot watch it due to the horrible audio.
