Jello Skin Trend Hits Korea
- "Jello Skin" is emerging as a new K-beauty trend on SNS such as TikTok and YouTube guaranteeing firmer, more elastic skin
- #jelloskin-related videos have recorded more than 15 million views on SNS, drawing attention as a next-generation K-beauty trend.
- Jello Skin's core point of difference is that it's not about caring for the skin temporarily or with makeup but caring for your overall lifestyle
- Inner Beauty products like Glutathione can help improve your skin
- The quality of sleep is also important
- Try Jelly Ko Cherry Blossom Sleeping Mask and Bubble Tea Steam Cream

Potential New Ingredient to Help with Dermatitis
- A Korean freshwater plant known as “Jomgaegatnaengi” (좀개갓냉이) has been found to relieve chronic inflammation and atopic dermatitis.
-
Researchers at the Nakdonggang National Institute of Biological Resources conducted research into the anti-inflammatory effect of the extract and found that it inhibits the production of representative chemokines (TARC, MDC) that cause atopy.
- Chemokine is an objective indicator of the severity of atopic dermatitis, and chemokine expression increases in atopic dermatitis lesions.
- Research still in its infancy as tests have only been conducted on mice at present
People Complaining About the Lack of Visitors at the Kbeauty Expo
- As I mentioned on last week's episode about the Korean Beauty Expo 2022, it seemed like there were a lot less people at this year's K-Beauty Expo than in previous years. It turns out my suspicion was correct.
-
Apparently there have been growing complaints from many companies that opened booths about the lack of visitors
- Some were even expressing regret at having opened a booth and others about the identity and quality of the buyers, as well as about the absence of Chinese buyers.
-
Some people thought they should give up even visiting next year.
Question of the Week - Medical Devices and HIFU
On past podcast episodes I've talked through some of the latest technologies in Korea, including things like HIFU. Apparently a lot of people have been emailing us asking for help buy medical equipment for their home and business; however this is not something we are able to assist with because we don't sell or manufacture these devices.

New Korean Beauty Product Reviews
- APLB Noni Serum
- Happy customer!
- "I’ve used this almost everyday since I received it, even on the days I’m in a rush. Skin feels nice and hydrated. Since incorporating this with a few products from stylestory I can no longer say I have combination skin, it’s so much more balanced! I’ve also used this for a diy mask serum too and works great."
- NINE LESS Magic Nine Fill Up Silk Hair Treatment 200ml
- Smoothed and tamed my hair
- "This was a nice product to use on my dry and frizzy, unruly hair. Smells quite pleasant, similar to conditioner. I didn't notice to much when I put it into my wet hair and while it was drying, but was really happy the next day! I woke up to soft curls and less frizzy, much better behaved hair!!!! Very happy with the results and think this is an excellent product for the price."
