Hi everyone! I'm Shinichi, and I'm going to Seoul for a business trip next month. I'd love to take the opportunity to experience the legendary K-beauty and skin management. I'm always interested in Korean beauty products, but I've never actually had a professional skincare treatment there before, so I'm a little nervous but super excited!

My skin is combination to dry, and it's been a bit sensitive lately, so I'm really looking for gentle yet effective skincare experiences. I've heard that Seoul has many different types of beauty clinics and skincare studios, offering everything from simple facials to various professional treatments. Could anyone share some advice on what to prioritize for a first-timer like myself? And how much time should I allow?

Also, are there any things I should be aware of before going? Like, do I need to make an appointment in advance? Has anyone used translation software or had experience communicating in English? My Korean is really bad, haha. Looking forward to hearing your advice!
