So What’s In It And Why Is It So Good?
Beauty of Joseon’s Dynasty Cream contains a host of traditional Korean ingredients, including ginseng, one of the most popular hanbang cosmetics ingredients.
Acting as an antioxidant, it is a stimulant for cell regeneration, and offers both skin-firming and anti-ageing properties.
Other star ingredients include Orсhid Extrасt, which асts as an anti-oxidant that moisturises, ѕооthеѕ аnd соnditiоnѕ skin, while flaxseed oil helps to maintain the skin’s barrier.
How Do You Use It?
You can actually use it three ways: either as a Massage Cream, a Sleeping Pack or as a Primer before makeup.
To use it as a Massage Cream, you simply scoop out a small amount of product and massage it into your face and neck for several minutes, pressing and patting it into the skin to aid absorption.
As a Sleeping Pасk, it is designed to be applied on top of your regular night cream, massaged into the face and neck before sleeping.
To get smoother, more radiant skin before applying your makeup, simply massage a layer of the cream into your face before applying your foundation.
Once it sets, you can do the rest of your makeup, with a brighter base.
Korean Beauty that’ll give you skin worth of a Korean Empress? Yes, please!
