K Beauty stands well on what it promises innovation, affordable pricing compared to Western products, and research-backed formulation. Hence, gaining your trust.
Living in Pakistan, you are exposed to pollution and sun damage daily. Fortunately, some famous K-beauty ingredients, such as snail mucin, Centella Asiatica (also known as Cica), and fermented rice extracts, can do wonders for your skin.
Let's have a look at some basic K-beauty products you can easily find at Springs Store.
-
Cleansers
First things first, use a low-ph cleanser to get rid of the dirt from the hustle and bustle of the day. Cleansers help maintain your skin health by unclogging pores and preventing breakouts.
Our recommendation:
Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Cleanser – enriched with plum water for gentle exfoliation.
Cosrx Cica Creamy Foam Cleanser - calming, smoothing and hydrating finish
-
Toner or Essence
Skipping this step is a big no. Toner or essence helps you prep your skin for better absorption of serums and moisturizers. They also help in tightening pores, provide hydration and also target specific skin concerns such as acne and dryness.
Our recommendation:
Anua Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner – calms sensitive and acne-prone skin.
COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence – deeply hydrates, repairs, and gives a dewy glow.
These formulas work wonders for your dry and dull skin.
-
Treatment Serums
K-beauty serums have been a game-changer for individuals with various skin issues, including acne, pigmentation, and dark spots. This is where you need to spend your time and understand what your skin needs the most.
Our recommendation:
Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum (Propolis + Niacinamide) – brightens dull skin and minimises the appearance of pores.
Axis-Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum – great for uneven tone and dark spots
-
Mositurzer
Even if you have oily skin, you cannot skip a moisturiser. It helps in improving skin elasticity and regulate oil production. With so many options these days, you can go for gel-based or water-based formulas to avoid heavy layering.
Our recommendation:
Skin1004 Centella Hyalu-cica Moisture Cream – perfect for calming sensitive or redness-prone skin.
COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All-in-One Cream – adds intense hydration while repairing damaged skin.
These two moisturisers are a perfect pick for humid Pakistani weather.
-
Sunscreen (Your best friend)
Yes, you read it right. Sunscreen is your best friend that you can never leave behind, no matter where you go. It not only helps against the harsh Pakistani sun, but it also prevents premature ageing and dullness.
Our recommendation
Beauty Of Joseon Relief Sun Aqua Fresh Rice– a viral favourite for its light, non-sticky texture.
Cosrx Aloe 54.2 Aqua Tone-up Sunscreen Spf 50+ – provides high protection while keeping the skin moisturised.
These sunscreens can be used under makeup as well because of their light and soft texture.
