Korean skincare

[soundsystem]

DH is working in South Korea in the New Year for a few months... Is there anything - skincare/beauty wise - I should be asking for him to bring back?

I found the snail slime stuff pretty good.

The Sum37 melting cleansing balm is by far the best cleansing product I've ever used. Smells beautiful and leaves skin really smooth & bright. It's so hard to get over here. I'd be bringing it back by the bucketload if I went to Korea.

I work in Seoul now and then and I usually pick up:

• a bazillion sheet masks. Honestly, if you read the ingredients they are all very similar so just go for the smells or whatever you fancy. He’ll probably get given quite a few as freebies if he’s buying other stuff below.

• “Snail slime stuff” Me too. Usually from the green fronted store that is called “Nature Republic”.But he’ll see it because there are loads of them. I like the sheet mask, moisturiser and ampoule especially.

• Missha Time Revolution range, in particular the “essence”.

• The Hera “Age Away” range is good too; I like the eye serum and “vitalising” serum and emulsion.

Does your DH know where to go? He’ll get all this on one street in Myeong-Dong and in a couple of stores like Innisfree, Missha and Nature Republic.
