More skincare brands are turning to traditional practices for skincare these days, especially K beauty. Hangbang ingredients refer to the herbal ingredients used in ancient Korean medicine for various benefits.

“Hanbang ingredients are traditional herbal ingredients used in Korean medicines, and they’ve long been a staple in Korean life. For example, ginseng root, houttuynia cordata, sacred lotus, and Rehmannia boast anti-aging, anti-inflammation, and regenerative properties.”

Says Charlotte Cho, founder of Soko Glam

“K-beauty will shift more towards a holistic approach, linking skincare and internal health. I take probiotic supplements for my bouts of eczema, and I love using K-beauty products with fermented ingredients.”

Minimalist Routines

Gone are the days of a 10 step K beauty skincare routine with the more minimalist offerings available. K beauty skincare brands are offering hyphenate products that offer various skincare solutions in one.

Pimple Patches

More people have targeted acne from wearing masks and need a solution that doesn’t affect the rest of the skin. Pimple patches are the perfect solution that K beauty is pushing for targeted results this year.
