K Beauty – Trendy i możliwości koreańskiej pielęgnacji skóry
Makeup Trend 2018
Korean skincare and beauty products are the new trend to become a phenomenon. Women all over the world are trying to achieve the luminous glow associated with “K-beauty.” One of the trends, which has been around since 2016, focuses on the “glass skin” look, which means a healthy glow. The idea is to have hydrated, pigment-free skin, and to not rely on makeup as much.
The K beauty makeup trend of 2018 may not be a trend at all. The “Cloudless skin” trend refers to a clear, flawless complexion. It also relates to a healthy inner radiance. So how can one meet the ideal of cloudless skin? K beauty enthusiasts achieve cloudless skin through healthy living habits. They also use top-notch K beauty products.

K-Beauty Routine
The K-Beauty 10-step routine is one of the most widely followed in the world. It’s more of a lifestyle change that has turned into a global phenomenon. The routine starts with double cleansing the skin. Users begin with oil-based cleanser and follow up with a water-based solution. Next comes exfoliation, followed by toning.
The heart of the K-beauty routine is Step 5: essence. Essence is a type of toner/serum hybrid made for aiding cell turnover and skin repair, and for hydrating. After essence comes treatments, followed by sheet masks. Next comes eye cream, followed by moisturizer. The final step is sun protection.
The mainstream cosmetics industry is embracing K-Beauty. Experts see it as more than a fad. Korea’s cosmetics sales are up by more than 50 percent over 2014 figures. US companies like Bain Capital Equity and Goldman Sachs are getting a slice of the pie. Both companies announced they would acquire a majority stake in a major Korean cosmetic firm. Also, Amway has built its Beauty Innovation Center in Seoul.
