Whether you’re recently fangirling over Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin in Crash Landing on You or you’re following BTS’ every move, the influence of the best of South Korea remains to intrigue us. From K-Drama to top Idols, and now K-Movie (say hello to Parasite, the first film in a foreign language to win the Best Picture of Oscar’s). But on top of it all, our fascination with all things that South Korea offers extend to beauty.

Yes, yes, there is something to be said about K-Beauty. It’s been on trend since 2018 and there are no signs it’s stopping down. Maybe it’s because everyone wants that coveted glass skin look—poreless, glowing and dewy. From toners to gels, here’s what to add to your cart this month!
