Hello everyone! 🌸 I'm Fatima from the UAE, and I've finally booked my tickets to Seoul for next month, and I'm beyond excited! I've always watched videos about Korean skincare and the clinics there, and I want to experience it myself.
Honestly, I'm a grandmother looking for a skincare routine that fits into my free time. What are the best products I should buy from there? And is it worth going to an aesthetic clinic even if I don't have major skin concerns? I've heard that consultations are really great there and there are many options.
Also, if any of you have traveled to Seoul before, where should I go for shopping and skincare? Any areas you recommend? I'm a little worried about communication because I don't speak Korean 😅, but I've heard that some people speak English. Please share your experiences! 💕

Fatima, that's wonderful! 😊 I feel the same way and am currently planning my trip to Seoul this year. I've been thinking about trying out clinic consultations, not just for skincare products, but because I've heard they're incredibly thorough. I understand your concerns about language, but I've heard that around tourist areas, there are staff who can speak English, so I'm sure it will be fine! I hope we can both have a great experience 🫶
Hi Fatima, when I first came to Seoul, I was a bit worried about the language barrier, but actually, in the cosmetic shopping areas, many staff members speak English, so you don't need to worry 😊 I recommend you walk around a few areas to experience the products firsthand, because everyone's skin is different, so it's hard to give specific recommendations!
Hi Fatima, so exciting that you're visiting Seoul! Just curious—when you say you're looking for a proper skincare routine, are you thinking more about finding the right products to take home with you, or are you interested in getting professional guidance while you're there? I'm asking because I feel like those are kind of two different trips haha 😄
Hello! I was also worried about the language barrier on my last trip to Seoul, but I found that many beauty store employees actually speak basic English. You can prepare a translation app on your phone beforehand. As for products, I recommend browsing the counters at department stores first. The staff can help you try things on, which is a good way to avoid making a bad purchase 😊 Have a wonderful trip!
