Whether you’re chasing “glass skin,” “cream skin” or “dumpling skin,” as celebrity makeup artist Nam Vo likes to call it, there’s no arguing that Korean beauty trends are the epitome of skin goals. But the K-beauty approach to skin, consisting of oils, essences, serums, face masks and more, can seem pretty intense and expensive.
