Discover the 7 most enjoyable K-beauty experiences in Korea
1. Personal Color Analysis
Surely one of the rising K-beauty experiences in Korea! Did you know that our skin undertones are categorised into three main groups: warm, cool, and neutral? Personal Color Analysis also known as color profiling, is where you can identify your skin undertone and understand which colors are most flattering for you when it comes to clothing, makeup, and even hair color.
You will find out which colors complement your skin tones the most to enhance your natural beauty and help you feel more confident! Besides the confidence boost, you can potentially save money by only buying makeup products that are suited for your skin.
When searching for places in Korea that offer Personal Color Analysis, remember to verify whether their service is available in English or your preferred language so you don’t have to struggle with the communication barrier.
2. Skin Analysis and Facial Spa
Skin analysis is the first and crucial step in identifying skin conditions. A comprehensive assessment to evaluate skin type, condition, concerns, and needs to target and improve skin conditions effectively.
A typical skin analysis includes Skin Type Identification and Skin Concern Assessment to highlight factors such as oiliness, dryness, sensitivity, and tendency to breakouts due to diet and lifestyle. Moving on, it is also essential to identify the skin’s moisture and hydration levels to determine the amount of hydration needed. Additionally, a Sun Damage Evaluation test is done to detect sunburn, premature aging, or increased risk of skin cancer.
Rest and recharge with facial treatments like the Aqua Peel facial which cleanses and tightens pores, removes blackheads, and improves acne. If you wish to proceed with other treatments, consider laser and radiofrequency lifting treatments that will improve skin elasticity by stimulating collagen formation. Of course, the beauty technicians are the best advisors for your K-beauty needs so be sure to add this activity to your list of K-beauty experiences in Korea
3. Eyelash Perming and Extensions
Not foreign to most, eyelash perming and extensions have been around for quite a while now, becoming one of the most demanded K-beauty experiences in Korea. The eyelash perming results in naturally curled lashes that can last for several weeks and the eyelash extensions will give a more dramatic effect. Nonetheless, both will complement the daily look, while providing convenience and beauty at the same time. Now, let us tell you why this is one of the best K-beauty experiences in Korea.
The salons in Korea are always upgrading their technology and high-quality products, and ensuring that their beauty technicians adhere to strict hygiene standards to ensure the safety of the treatments. Also, while Western eye makeup focuses on thick and luscious lashes, the Korean beauty preference is a more defined but natural look. This gives off the NewJeans members vibe to look cute and mesmerising at the same time. To achieve a similar look, book this service as one of your K-beauty experiences in Korea!

There are numerous DIY workshops in Korea where you can customise your K-beauty products like lipstick-making, perfume-making, and many more. Let’s see what you can expect from these workshops below!
If you’ve done a Personal Color Analysis before then you will know which lip colors suit you best. This makes the lipstick-making process more seamless and efficient. But fret not if you’re still unsure of your personal color, you still get to experiment with different lip colors or get help from assistants! Well, it is the fun of experimenting to upgrade your K-beauty experiences in Korea after all!
The lipstick-making workshop usually lasts about one and a half hours, and the end product comes in super pretty and cute packaging. Even if you only have half a day to spare, you can still make it as your K-beauty experiences in Korea!
Making the world’s only scent, the perfume-making workshops are super famous among locals and tourists. There are over 150 different scents available but to narrow down your choices, you will start with smelling basic scents, and then do a questionnaire & a psychological test to find out which scent category suits you most. You will then be given six additional scents to smell before selecting three among them. Lastly, add the base scent and the three selected scents together to create your own perfume!
What is unique is you get to name the perfume and put a label on the perfume bottle. A gift packaging is provided for every perfume bottle, what a special gift idea!
7. Shopping for beauty skin products and supplements

Oral beauty supplements like Collagen Jelly, Korean Red Ginseng extract, and Glutathione pills can also be easily sourced and purchased in department stores or pharmacies.
