Hi everyone! I'm Xia, and I'm heading to Seoul next month for a trip. I'm really looking forward to taking this opportunity to fully experience Korean skincare and beauty. I've used some Korean skincare products before with pretty good results, so this time I want to see if I can discover any hidden gems locally and also try out professional skincare treatments.

I've heard that Seoul has some very professional skin management centers that offer various skincare treatments. To be honest, though, I don't know much about the specifics of how they work or what the results are like. Has anyone been before and can share their experience? I'm looking for legitimate, reliable places.

I also want to explore local beauty stores and see if there are any new skincare products worth buying. My skin is combination type and prone to closed comedones, so I'm particularly keen on finding products that suit me. Do any of you know which areas in Seoul have a high concentration of beauty stores?

If you have any recommendations or stories about what to avoid, please feel free to share! Thanks so much!
