What’s up y’all! Essence, beauty editor here at BuzzFeed, and I committed to trying a Korean skin care regimen for a month. I lived my entire teens and twenties with barely any breakouts, but when I hit the big 3-0, my hormones got wacky and my skin started breaking out, ESPECIALLY around the time of my period!
To combat my skin problems, I met with Charlotte Cho, cofounder of Soko Glam — one of the biggest online retailers for Korean beauty products. She’s also an esthetician, so I went to her office and had her look at my face to tell me what the heck was going on with my skin and recommend me a full K-beauty (Korean beauty) skin care routine.
I am now a HUGE fan of going to an esthetician or dermatologist after my meeting with Charlotte, by the way. I learned so much about my own skin that I didn’t know. First of all, I went to the office telling her I was super oily and had severe breakouts. In a very nice way she told me I didn’t really know what I was talking about and everything I thought about my skin was wrong.
