Don’t let #6 put you off!

In an interview for W Korea, Lee Hi joked about how the most important thing to get perfect skin is money—and she’s not wrong! But the good news is that many Korean products tend to be quite budget friendly. And due to strict regulations in Korea, most products tend to also be extremely gentle, which means that all skin types can benefit from the extremely effective, yet gentle, formulations of Korean products.

So if you’ve ever wondered how K-Pop idols have such perfect skin these are some of the bestselling (yet affordable) products of the year that could help you achieve that! They are listed in order of use in a Korean ten-step routine. And as a bonus, all these brands are cruelty free!

 

1. heimish All Clean Balm

The members of Red Velvet have spoken before about how cleansing is a vital step in one’s routine to achieve clear glowing skin, particularly when one wears makeup regularly.

2. KraveBeauty Matcha Hemp Hydrating Cleanser

It makes you wonder how many idols wear them without us ever knowing!

4. I’m From Rice Toner

5. Dear, Klairs Sheet Mask

Sheet masks are one of idols’ secret weapons. BTS have said before that they are huge fans of sheet masks, particularly for long-haul flights. The Rich Moist Soothing Tencel Mask provides intense moisturization while protecting the skin barrier—and is therefore a must if you want idol-like skin.
