The Korean beauty industry is responsible for launching many of the top trending innovations in the global beauty industry for the last 15 years. This year's biggest trend so far is personalization. From colour analysis, to MBTI and made-for-you foundations, it seems everyone in Korea wants skincare, beauty and even makeup that's personally tailored to them.
But is the latest personalization trend going to stick around or are there too many barriers for most brands looking to jump on it? Lauren discusses on episode 238 of the Korean Beauty Show podcast.
Is Korea’s Personalization Trend A Fad or Lasting Trend?
Based on an interview I did with Cosmetics Design Asia, I'm sharing my thoughts on this trend and whether we're likely to see this trend spread.
Question of the Week: What are the popular treatments in Korea at the moment?
Rejuran
HIFU
Rejuran Healer is a popular treatment containing polynucleotides that is injected in the skin via needles all over the face. They stay in the skin and act as a support structure to increase elasticity, reverse skin damage and assist in skin rejuvenation.
It'a particularly popular among those in their 30s and above, who have dry skin or thinned, sensitive skin.
HIFU also continues to be a popular treatment option. For more in-depth information about HIFU in Korea listen to episode 102 of the podcast.
