Hi everyone, I'm Shuang! I'm going to Seoul for a business trip next month and plan to extend my vacation by a few days to experience Korean beauty and skincare. I've been reading about Korean beauty and skincare on Xiaohongshu and various forums, and it seems really interesting, but honestly, I'm a little unsure where to start.
My skin is combination to dry, and I'm considering trying traditional skincare treatments, the kind you get regularly. I'd also like to check out local beauty stores to see if I can find products that suit my skin. Do you have any recommendations for experiences? Or are there any pitfalls to avoid? I'm not entirely sure about the price, so I'd also like to hear about your budget planning.
Also, which areas in Seoul are good for beauty enthusiasts to explore? I've heard there are many shops and experience centers in Myeongdong and Gangnam, but I'm not sure which ones have good reputations. If any of you have recently been there, I would be so grateful for your feedback! Looking forward to your suggestions!

I visited Seoul last month and my hair is just as dry as yours! 🙂 My advice is to go to local shops and ask for a skin consultation so they can help you choose the right products. The women there are very patient and kind. My experience was wonderful, and I didn't feel pressured to buy anything specific!
I understand how you feel! I was the same. At first, I didn't know where to start 😅 My advice is to try consulting at a beauty store first. They can give you advice based on your skin type. Also, explore the different areas to see the atmosphere and prices first. There's no need to rush.
Oh, your skin type sounds similar to mine! Honestly, I'd suggest just wandering around Myeongdong or Gangnam and chatting with the staff at the skincare shops — they're usually super helpful about finding products that match your skin. I was honestly overwhelmed at first too, but I found it way less intimidating once I just started asking questions in person. The prices vary so much depending on where you go, so I'd just budget and see what feels right for you!
