A love letter to Korean skincare — and why it’s transforming how I care for skin, self, and soul.
At Cloud Day Spa, I’ve always believed skincare should feel like a sacred ritual — soft, intentional, deeply nourishing, and rooted in both ancient wisdom and modern science.
That’s exactly why I’ve fallen head over heels for Korean skincare.
Why I’m So Inspired by Korean Skincare:
💧 Hydration as a Foundation
The famous “glass skin” glow comes from layers of moisture — not just one serum. The 7-skin method (layering toner seven times!) has completely changed the way I approach hydration and barrier support.
🌿 Herbal & Traditional Ingredients
K-Beauty honors the skin with hanbang (traditional Korean herbal medicine), using ingredients like mugwort, ginseng, rice water, and centella asiatica — all deeply healing and microbiome-supportive.
✨ Skin First, Makeup Second
There’s an obsession with prevention, not correction. Korean women and men take pride in skincare from a young age, focusing on gentle exfoliation, SPF every day, and consistency — something I always teach my clients, too.
🍵 Beauty from Within
I’m equally enchanted by Korea’s approach to internal skincare — from collagen-rich bone broths to ginseng tea, beauty drinks, and fermented foods. This aligns perfectly with my holistic philosophy: radiant skin starts within.
A Spa Day in Korea — The Dream ✈️
One of my goals?
To travel to South Korea and experience their skincare culture firsthand:
– Explore traditional bathhouses (jjimjilbangs)
– Receive herbal detox body scrubs
– Study advanced esthetic techniques
– Sip on beauty teas while wrapped in post facial towels in a pink lit spa lounge
Until then, I’m bringing the energy of Korean skincare into my facials at Cloud Day Spa — through luxurious layering, gentle tools, clean ingredients, and a glowy, feminine atmosphere.
My Current Korean Skincare Favorites:
– Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Essence Water & Sunscreen
– Mixsoon Galactomyces Mist (yes, it’s dreamy)
– CNP Laboratory Invisible Peeling Booster
– Pyunkang Yul Essence (used in my 7 skin layering ritual)
– LINDSAY Collagen Modeling masque
If you’re as obsessed with the softness, glow, and intention of K beauty as I am — you’ll love what I’m infusing into my facials.
Come in, sip something warm, and leave with luminous skin that whispers “porcelain goddess.”
