Foreigners envy Koreans for their “clear skin” and “young appearance.”
Characteristics of northern people
Many Koreans are northern. About 80% are northern, and 20% are southern. Northern people usually have clear features. Their eyes and eyebrows are not far from each other, giving a good-natured impression. In addition, most northern people have pale and clear skin.
Water without calcium
Europe’s groundwater has a lot of calcium. Calcareous ingredients often cause skin problems. In addition to Europe, very few countries are considered safe for tap water. Taking a shower or washing your face with water containing this ingredient can stiffen your skin and cause skin troubles.
Thorough skincare
American women prefer simple and fast makeup, but Korean makeup and skincare methods are broad, meticulous, and thorough. According to a survey of 1,500 women conducted by the mobile research platform Open Survey, Korean women used an average of five skincare products a day. It was in the order of toner, cream, lotion, essence, and sheet mask. They use one cleansing product in the morning and one more in addition to cleansing foam in the evening. Foreigners are very interested in the careful skincare stages of Koreans, ranging from exfoliation, pore care, cleansing to essence, eye cream, day cream, night cream, and sleeping mask.
