Do Korean beauty products work on Indian skin? Beauty expert Dr Blossom Kochhar explains. (Image: iStock/TimesNow)
K-beauty has taken over Indian beauty enthusiasts. Be it the Korean practice of double cleansing with balms or applying lip masks, every beauty lover is in favor of it! It all started with young girls’ obsession with K-dramas. Soon, that obsession turned into the desire to be able to achieve porcelain-soft and smooth skin, just like Korean actors.
While young girls are investing massively in Korean masks, creams and serums and turning them into a new blockbuster solution for perfect skin, the idea of achieving glass skin is perhaps a little ambitious.
“Korean beauty trends are wonderful, but we have to keep in mind that they are time-consuming,” says the beauty expert. Dr. Blossom Kochhar In an exclusive interview with Times Now Digital, she said, “They have so many products that you can’t follow such an intensive skincare routine every time. In my opinion, you need something that is easy and you can apply it on your face immediately… something that is convenient.”
Blossom Kochhar talks Korean beauty and Indian skin
When asked if Korean beauty products work on Indian skin, Dr Blossom said, “No, and that’s the main problem. Indian skin is very different from Korean skin. In fact, even in India, people living in the northern part have a different skin type than those living in the south. And that’s how you should choose your products – based on your skin type.”
She further added, “While Korean beauty products don’t work very well on Indian skin, they will definitely give a temporary glow.”
Dr. Blossom recently launched her new book The Glow Getter’s Guide To Everyday Skincare. This book includes all her beauty secrets. The main goal of the book is to revolutionize the way people approach their daily skincare routines by combining traditional Indian practices with modern skincare science.
More about Korean beauty products
There’s no doubt that Korean creams use derivatives of many natural ingredients: tree bark, buds, and roots. Ginseng slows down collagen loss with age, fermented rice controls oil production and acne, bamboo has silica, which is the building block of collagen. Although snail excrement (mucin) may sound disgusting, it contains hyaluronic and glycolic acid that provide hydration.
Korean beauty products have held the Indian market for a long time, which is surprising. These products are innovative and feature various skincare products for every skin type and texture. However, some Indians may find it very difficult to find the perfect makeup or skincare product that perfectly suits their Indian skin tone as most of the Korean beauty products are designed according to Korean beauty standards.
