I'm finally going to Seoul! Looking for recommendations for must-try skincare and cosmetic procedures!

Hi everyone! It's Ping, and I'm finally flying to Seoul next month! I'm so excited 😍 I've been watching Korean skincare and beauty videos on Xiaohongshu and YouTube for ages, and now I can finally experience it for myself.

I mainly want to try their professional skincare treatments. I've heard that Korean cleansing and soothing treatments are especially meticulous? I also want to explore the beauty districts of Myeongdong and Gangnam to see what's suitable for me. To be honest, I'm a little nervous about beauty treatments, since it's my first time, so I'll probably start with skincare.

Has anyone been to Seoul before and could give me some advice? Like, which areas are worth visiting, how do I choose a clinic, and do I need to make an appointment in advance? My skin is combination to oily with some closed comedones, and I mainly want to improve my skin texture. I'm a little unsure about my budget; I'll have to check the local prices first. Looking forward to your sharing!
