Hi everyone! My name is Maya, I'm from Jakarta, and I just joined this community. I've been lurking on your forums for a long time but only just got the courage to post, hehe. So, the story is, I started getting interested in K-beauty when I saw a college friend who came back from Korea—her skin was so glowing, and I was curious and kept asking her to spill her skincare routine. From there, I fell down a rabbit hole scrolling through TikTok and YouTube about Korean skincare.

What really makes me curious is how Koreans are so consistent with their skincare, and also there are so many affordable and accessible treatment options compared to here. I personally have combination skin that's a bit sensitive, so I want to learn more from all of you about products that are worth it or what treatments people there often get.

Does anyone have good skincare routine recommendations for beginners or experiences going to Korea for aesthetic stuff? I'm super excited to learn from you all! 💕
