Care &makeup:5 Korean products that we love

You couldn't have missed it:a wave of products inspired by Korean rituals has arrived on the shelves of our perfumeries. Here are 5 that we advise you to test, if you do not know them!

Lip balm, Tony Moly, €11 on Amazon

How not to fall for these mini lip balms in the shape of a peach, green apple and cherry? Just the packaging makes us want! Then its fruity smell smells so good... In addition to its super practical travel format to slip into the bag, this little balm promises us maximum hydration, as well as sun protection thanks to an SPF15 PA+. Not bad!

The Liquid BB Cream with Ginseng, Erborian, 42 €

A BB Cream cushion, kézaco? It is a box containing a product – in this case, a BB cream – very fluid, which is applied by tapping. The result is super natural and light. And the packaging is super practical because you can take it everywhere to make touch-ups if necessary. If several French brands market it, this one has the particularity of being formulated with Ginseng, known for its smoothing properties. And then Erborian is a pioneering skincare brand, always inspired by Korean rituals, so of course, we trust it...

Konjac Face Sponge, Nocibé, €5.95

The konjac sponge is an exfoliating sponge of 100% natural origin, made from the roots of Konjac, an Asian plant. A true must-have for Asian beauty, it cleanses the epidermis and performs a light exfoliation. What's great is that you can use it every day (provided you choose it suitable for your skin). The promise ? Smoother, softer and more radiant skin. Effective and inexpensive, what more could you ask for?

Radiance wrap, Qiriness, €3.90

Sheet masks are loaded with active ingredients, act quickly and are unrivaled for hydrating the epidermis. The difference with a classic treatment? The occlusive side of the fabric, which promotes the penetration of active ingredients and prevents them from evaporating. The Coup d'Éclat mask is ideal after a short night or just on days when you find your skin is dull. Leave it on for 10 to 20 minutes (as it adheres well to the face, you can do something else at the same time, as long as you don't move too much) and then massage the excess product. The result is immediate:the skin is brighter, smoother and more comfortable. What more could you ask for?

Warming effect exfoliating balm, Tony Moly c/o Sephora, €14.90

According to the famous Korean brand, this balm is the secret weapon to target and limit blackheads. How it works? The heat helps to open the pores, then the exfoliating particles absorb the excess sebum and eliminate the dead cells. The skin is then purified and softened, like that of a baby! Then once the product is finished, you can always keep the cute little egg-shaped pot.
