Beauty experiences you must try when trip to South Korea!




Hello Sweetie! Koreans are very interested in things that appeal externally, such as skin, makeup, and hair. So there are many experts, and most Koreans are very meticulous and skilled. So today, I will introduce you to the things you must do for your beauty when you trip to South Korea. You can trust it because I have experienced it all while living in Korea! ❣️






 





1. Personal Color Analyzing

Among women traveling to Korea, the number of people receiving personal color diagnosis is increasing. Personal color literally means analyzing the skin, hair, and eye tones of each individual to find the color that best suits them.

✔️ What is Personal Color Analyzing?

The individual sits under natural light and various colored cloths are placed near the face. Your consultant will observe which colors make your skin, eyes, and hair look more vibrant and which colors look dull.

Koreans are very interested in finding and cultivating their own charm, and that interest extends to analyzing themselves. Among all the world, Koreans have the greatest interest in personal color, and there are many experts.


When choosing a personal color expert, it is a good idea to check how much experience they have and whether they have any certifications before making a reservation.


If you receive a personal color diagnosis, you will know what colors suit you best and be able to create a better appearance. This can be applied to your hair color, makeup, clothes, and even accessories. It's amazing because with a one-time investment, you can learn about yourself well for the rest of your life. I also received a personal color diagnosis and changed my hair color, nail color, lens color, and clothes accordingly, and my satisfaction with this was quite high.






 





2. Personal Hair Analyzing

In Korea, following the craze for personal color diagnosis, personal hair diagnosis is becoming popular.


✔️ What is Personal Hair Analyzing?

Diagnosis that analyzes each individual's face shape, body type, and mood to suggest the hairstyle and color that best suits them.

Should I have straight hair or perm it? Is it better to have long hair or short hair? Would a bright color or a dark color suit you? Haven’t we all thought about this at least once? This is great news for those who are tired of their usual hairstyle or want to try a new hairstyle, but have a hard time knowing what suits them!



If you want short hair, personal hair designers find a length that makes you look younger and your face looks prettier. If you want long hair, it will tell you whether it is better to add layers of hair or how much hair thickness to leave. If you want a perm, they will figure out what curl size suits you best.


However, since this hairstyle diagnosis is only just starting to become popular, it is very difficult to find a hair stylist who can do it and they are often already fully booked. Therefore, we recommend making a reservation as soon as possible!






 




3. Meridian Massage

One of the special beauty treatments that you must try when coming to Korea is meridian massage!


If you thought it was a regular relaxation massage, you are mistaken! In Korea, interest in diet, small faces, and slim faces is very high, and meridian massage services are well developed to meet these needs.

The extremely meticulous nature of Koreans is also evident when giving massages. With just one massage, you can see the effect of dieting by removing swelling from the face and body and stimulating the areas where you can lose weight. It is also very good for your health as it improves blood circulation in the body. By relaxing the muscles of your face, you can prevent aging and receive intensive care for areas that you normally consider complex. You can also receive detailed care, such as postpartum care and belly fat management.


However, the effectiveness may vary depending on the massage therapist's techniques, so it is a good idea to read the reviews carefully.







 





4. SMILE LASIK Surgery

If you have bad eyesight and are considering vision improvement surgery, try it when you travel to Korea! In Korea, LASIK and LASEK are performed using very sophisticated technology, which allows for quick recovery and has a significantly low side effect rate.

✔️ Korea is already so advanced in technology that it ranks second in the world in surgical performance in the field of SMILE LASIK, and with this US FDA approval, SMILE surgery is expected to expand globally into a representative laser vision correction method that surpasses LASIK and LASEK.

In fact, a foreign friend of mine who was visiting Korea said he wanted to get LASIK in Korea, so we visited a Ophthalmology together, and more than 90% of the patients at that hospital were foreigners. Moreover, just 3 hours after the surgery, my friend opened his eyes and recovered quickly enough to resume his daily life. It was a moment I couldn't believe even when I saw it with my own eyes.


Of course, the speed of recovery, pain felt, and side effects may vary from person to person, so you should think carefully and choose a hospital carefully before proceeding. And even if you recover quickly, it is recommended that you stay in Korea for about a week after surgery.






 




5. Dermatological Procedures

People around the world are curious about Korean skin care. How does Korean skin age well and have no wrinkles or blemishes? Of course, this has a lot to do with genes. But also because dermatology is popular.


When I was young, whenever I had acne, I always went to the dermatologist to get simple care! Or, as I get older, I visit a dermatologist about two or three times a year for various reasons, such as when I feel like my skin is sagging, when I feel like it's losing elasticity, when I feel like I'm losing volume, etc.

If you are traveling to Korea, visit a dermatologist and get advice on any concerns you have and receive simple care! Unlike plastic surgery, procedures that are not too irritating do not take long to recover from. I will introduce the famous dermatological procedures in Korea in more detail in another post.







 





6. Nail Art

Seoul is famous for its wide variety of beauty treatments, and its nail salons don't fail to offer a variety of options either. They have everything you could want from basic manicures, gel manicures, glitter nails, nail extensions, 3D nails to do-it-yourself nail machines.


Korean Nail shops offer an ‘Art of the Month’ design that is discounted every month. You can view the art designs of the month provided through their Instagram, select the one you like, and then proceed with nail art.


Moreover, due to the meticulous nature of Koreans, the nail shape and design are excellent and the maintenance period is very long. Regardless of whether the nail salon is very famous or not, you can receive similar quality services anywhere. And Korean Nail shops are fully equipped with a dust extractor that cares about your health, and they pay a lot of attention to hygiene, so you can get your nail art done without any worries.
