4 Ancient Korean Beauty Secrets for glowing skin (History of Korean Beauty ep.3)

From rice water to mugwort facials, discover 4 ancient Korean Beauty Secrets that we can still bring into our beauty regimes.

The craze for pale and flawless skin in South Korea is not exactly news, but why are Koreans willing to go to great lengths to get that ideal perfect skin?

To really understand Korean beauty culture, we need to take a step back in time and go back to the very roots of Korean Skincare. In the latest installment of my series on K-Beauty History, I take you back to the Joseon Dynasty to explore some ancient beauty secrets that laid the groundwork for modern-day K-Beauty.

The video is available with English, Italian and Korean subtitles:

The white skin theory occured in cultures as a way of demonstrating that outdoor work wasn't done by that person. Later in US darker tan skin showed the person was able to go on vacations, or spend time at sports. Now we are all aware that ages us.

I know that the worship of white skin in East Asia is because the thinner the skin, the more it does not receive light, which means that it is an upper class.

동아시아에서 흰피부를 숭배하는 것은 피부가 흴수록 일을 안하고 빛을 받지 않은 것이고 곧 상류층임을 의미하기 때문인걸로 알고 있습니다만?
