Beautiful, Confident, Your around the world: K-beauty from South Korea
Today, we’re traveling to Asia to explore South Korea and take a closer look at their K-Beauty phenomenon.
Is it just a fleeting trend? Or a real game-changer that can help you feel Beautiful, Sure, Yourself?
We’ll also dive into K-Beauty’s crown jewel: their 10-step skincare routine.
Hello, glowing skin!
Korean Skincare
In many countries, beauty (unfortunately) plays a huge role in success and social status—and South Korea is no exception. There, your appearance is often directly tied to your social standing.
A smooth, radiant, and firm complexion is a must, and people go to great lengths to achieve it.
Plastic surgery is widely accepted, and their skincare routines are far more elaborate than what we’re used to. A simple serum and moisturizer? Not enough.
While many Western women only begin using anti-aging and revitalizing products once the first wrinkles appear, Koreans start early.
Their focus isn’t just on repairing damage but also on preventing it.
Covering up existing skin problems with makeup? To them, that’s just ignoring the issue. If you want beautiful skin, you have to work for it!
What Exactly Is K-Beauty?
K-Beauty, short for Korean Beauty, is an umbrella term for all skincare routines and products originating from South Korea.
This could include quirky items like their infamous boob masks (yes, really!) or their detailed 10-step skincare regimen. In this article, we’ll focus on their beauty ritual.
Less is more? Not when it comes to achieving radiant, firm skin!
The Korean 10-Step Routine for Radiant Skin
Let’s be honest—it takes discipline, time, and a good memory. But isn’t glowing skin worth it?
Pro tip: Stick a post-it on your mirror with the letters O.F.E.T.E.S.M.O.G.S. Maybe this little mnemonic will help you remember all the steps!
Step 1: Cleansing Oil
Oil attracts dirt, makeup, and impurities, making it perfect for deeply cleansing your skin after a long day.
How? Apply a few drops of oil to clean hands and massage it into your dry face. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Do not dry your face!
Step 2: Foam Cleanser
A water-based cleanser hydrates your skin and removes any leftover oil, sebum, and impurities.
How? Apply the cleanser to your fingers and gently massage it into your wet skin. Rinse off with lukewarm water and pat your face dry.
Step 3: Exfoliate
Exfoliating removes dead skin cells and unclogs your pores. Hello, glowing skin—you’re finally here!
Tip: If you have dry or sensitive skin, exfoliate no more than once a week.
How? Apply a small amount to your skin and massage gently in circular motions. Avoid the eyes and mouth! Rinse off with lukewarm water.
Step 4: Toner
Toners prepare your skin to better absorb the products in the next steps while also hydrating it after all that cleansing.
How? Apply a generous amount to a cotton pad and swipe it across your skin.
Step 5: Essence
Essence is a true skin booster and enhances the effects of your toner. It’s similar to a serum but has a thinner texture.
How? Apply some essence to your skin and pat it in until fully absorbed.
Stap 6: Serum
A serum is a highly nourishing product that gives your skin a major boost. Choose one that suits your skin’s needs.
How? Apply serum to your skin and pat it in until fully absorbed.
Step 7: Mask
A sheet mask is a cotton sheet or film soaked in serums and essences. Thanks to the toner, essence, and serum, your skin now absorbs the mask’s active ingredients even better.
How? Follow the instructions, place the mask on your face, sink into your sofa, and let it work its magic. Ahh, bliss!
Step 8: Eye Cream
Starting to wonder how much time and patience Koreans have? Well, we’re not done yet!
Because the skin around your eyes is so delicate, it needs extra care. Choose an eye cream based on your specific needs.
How? Apply a small amount around your eyes morning and evening.
Step 9: Face Cream
Almost there! This step is all about selecting a cream tailored to your needs.
Do you have dark circles? Opt for a cream with caffeine. Struggling with puffy eyes? Choose a cooling cream.
How? Apply a small amount to your skin and pat it in until fully absorbed.
Step 10: SPF
Finally—the last (but arguably most important) step: sunscreen! It’s the best way to prevent premature aging.
How? Apply sunscreen 30 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every two hours for continuous protection.
Have You Heard of K-Beauty? Does the idea of trying it out excite you? Or do you think a 10-step routine is a bit over the top? Let us know your thoughts!
To shave or not to shave is a choice, shaving irritation now thankfully also!
YIONN has developed the perfect product for every step of your shaving routine!
You’re fed up. Those annoying red bumps, ingrown hairs, and itching after shaving your bikini line, underarms, and legs. It leaves you feeling frustrated and anything but confident.
No woman should ever feel that way, and neither should you!
First, let me reassure you: there’s nothing wrong with your skin. Your skin is simply doing what it’s designed to do, reacting to the stress of shaving, which leads to unwanted side effects like itching and red bumps.
That’s not the result we women want, so we need to give our skin and nature a little extra help. And that’s exactly what YIONN products are designed to do!

YIONN Raka is really a top product!
A gentle solution to those pesky painful ingrown hairs, especially when combined with the scrub. Cindy
I thought: you know I’ll just give it a try!
OMG!!! So I really should have done that earlier.
I am now 37 years old and for the first time I proudly dare to wear a bikini bottom.
What a miracle cure!
No more irritation to be found.
Still bizarre.
And it really bothered me a lot. Nikkie zijlstra
By now have almost all products and for me no other.
After 2 weeks I already noticed a difference.Almost no more bumps and itching after shaving.
I will definitely try more products.

I often used such things but with me it never helped while others were always satisfied with it and I had exactly the same with this product, but had ordered it anyway and it took a little longer with me but it definitely helped!

Get rid of your shaving irritation within 3 weeks: or your money back
That is my promise to you!
From registered nurse to hair removal expert:
I am Wendy, the founder of YIONN.
I know better than anyone what it is like to go through life with shaving discomfort.
After desperately trying every possible way and remedy for red razor bumps and ingrown hairs, I was fed up.
I decided to find a solution to my shaving irritations that worked and it did!
I developed Raka, a caring lotion based on rose water, camphor and willow bark, which, by applying thinly to the problem area, easily and quickly calms the skin after hair removal, prevents red bumps and allows the hairs to grow out – instead of in – again.
And with that, I could finally say goodbye to my insecurities and discomforts.
Hallelujah.
When it later turned out that Raka was not only for me, but also for many other women, I started making several other products around it that can make hair removal a pleasant experience again.
And because I’m so convinced it works and I don’t want to keep your money in the rare case you’re not satisfied with it I came up with the unique YIONN within 30 days money-back guarantee (a guarantee you never normally get on hygiene products).
