My History of Skincare
Hello~ How's it going?
Today I want to talk about something
specific
the main reason for which I opened this channel
and the reason I had for starting this channel
here on YouTube
The theme is Korean and Asian Skincare
Since many people have commented this to me
or people I know, people at school, people at work
I want to make a video
that's informative and can provide you with information
that you might not have been able to find in another place
Even though a lot of videos exist now
and a lot of blogs
and other resources that one can use to find information
about Kbeauty and Asian beauty products
I feel like there isn't a lot of information available
in spanish
And that's significant because
there's a lot of people especially in Latin America
who are getting into Kpop
Kdramas and
Kbeauty and asian beauty
And they would like to know these things
In this video, I'd like to talk about
certain questions my friends have asked me
and certain topics
that surround the topic of
kbeauty and asian beauty
So, first of all I'd like to talk about
What is the 'hype surrounding' kbeauty and asian beauty?
Why are so many people becoming interested
relatively recently, in the last 2 or 3 years
in the topic of asian beauty
So, first off
I think that through
the popularization of
kdramas, kpop and
and kfashion (korean fashion)
around the world, in the USA,
Europe and Latin America
I think a lot of people have become increasingly interested
not just the fashion and food and other culture related aspects
But also, in the cosmetics and beauty products
because they're skin appearance is attractive
and they're well known for having their skin well-cared for
and clean looking
*notice* However!
Even though kbeauty has been really useful to me
and for a lot of people I know
and a lot of people who have talked about their success using kbeauty and asian beauty products before me
It's not necessarily
the best solution for everyone
For me, since it has been really good for me
I'd like to share my experience with you guys
So that you guys can
use the right products or find things that you love as well
Many of my friends have asked me
How did I get into/find out about kbeauty and asian beauty?
It really started out when I went to University
my first year, one of my good friends
who I am still really close with
Jane! Hi ^_^
I met her when I started school
and she kind of introduced me to
korean movies and she helped guide me kind of
when I was just starting out my discovery of Korean Hallyu interest
in kdramas and korean pop and music
and through that
after watching a number of kpop idols
and kdramas, I started noticing
how nice their skin was
both the women and men
older people and younger people, all ages
they had such nice skin
and since I had just started my first year of University
I was pretty stressed out and
I wasn't eating right
I ate a bunch of junk food, basically a college freshman diet
I had my skin in pretty bad shape
and I wanted to find something to help my skin
and to help improve my self-confidence
and if there was a solution, I really wanted to find it
So from that
I got really into kbeauty and asian beauty
because of the kdramas and kpop
And I started out by searching for a lot of the products
that the idols were endorsing
or that the kdrama commercials were advertising
from certain brands
So through that I've tried a lot of products
that have different functionalities
And to be honest,
there have been products that have worked really well for me
and there have been products that I don't ever want to use again
So that's really another thing
that I want to share with you
Some of the well-known brands I've used are
all of these
are brands I've tried at one point
I haven't used all the products but at least
a number of products at different points
So I'd like to talk about that
and let you guys know which products I've liked
or which ones I don't recommend as much
through my future videos
The next question I've gotten quite a bit
Why are kbeauty and asian beauty products relatively less expensive?
Compared to Western beauty products
And the reason I think this is the case is and from what I've gathered from other sources
In Asia, in particular Korea, Japan
and China too
People give a lot of attention to their facial beauty and skin
and they really take care of their skin
So starting at an early age
they learn to use the right products
to take care of their skin and this is something that throughout their lives
women and men, alike
really seem to value and give importance to
I think that this has really contributed
to the fact that there are many products and brands
that sell their products at a reasonable, baseline cost
And this is really good for us!
Since we're used to paying a higher price in the USA, or Western countries
and other parts of the world
Since it's not something AS common as it is in Asian countries
This also means that the beauty/cosmetic industry
is really developed in Asia
So this has
allowed products like BB cream
that exploded around the world
after it was popularized and came out of Korea (but actually originally from Germany!)
They are much more advanced than
maybe us here in the US
since quite a bit of attention is constantly on the beauty industry
to innovate and create a newer, better product
I think that this has allowed
for the development of the asian beauty industry
and this is all beneficial to us (who live outside of Asia)
for people who are interested in improving their skin
this means we
can potentially get access to products
that may not exist in the US
So really, we just need to search and be aware
Which leads me to my next question
There's so much information out there now
How can you know that certain products or resources you use are trustworthy?
I think that you need to use
your best judgement
Products can offer a lot
but they might only do one of the ten things it says it will do
But if that's enough reason for you to continue
using the product, then keep using it
But there have also been products I've tried that have been awful
I have bad reactions to the product
And I immediately stop using the product
Even if it says it going to be the most amazing product
there's no real reason to continue using it
You have to think a bit
about how there's going to be a lot of information out there
maybe not so much in Spanish
but in English or Korean
and for that reason you need to use caution
and your best judgement in choosing the products
Another thing I'd like to talk about is
Even though there's a lot of products out there
from all kinds of brands and all types of solutions
you do need to be careful using brands/products
that are so cheap
that they might not be
the best things for your skin
I think I've had a lot of hit and misses
and experience with these products
I started out with the most basic
and I've grown to use products of much higher quality
So I feel like
I can share that journey with you guys
So that you guys can have more info when you're choosing
your products
so that you have the most information when choosing
that can help you make the best decisions for your skin
One of the final questions
I've gotten a lot
What are certain keywords you can look for in products
In my opinion,
this has more to do with the type of skin you have
and the goals you want to reach with your skin
For example,
if you have older skin
and you want to prevent wrinkles or spots
you should look for products with "brightening"
or "whitening"
But before you guys freak out
with those words
"Whitening" in kbeauty and asian beauty
doesn't exactly mean
making your skin white
It means
for example, you might have
sun spots or acne scars
which I personally had a lot of
acne scars that had left
my skin with spots
that made my skin look bad overall
Even though I was doing a lot of preventative stuff
and using good products
those scars were still not fading, even after started taking care of my skin
So I started looking for products
that would help me get rid of those
darker spots on my skin
And that didn't mean that I was going to make my skin white
even though you might think I'm a bit pale..
it wasn't with the intention of making my skin white
but instead to balance out my skin tone
So I looked for products that said
"balancing" and "whitening"
*oops forgot to silence my phone*
And those products will be the best ones
to help get rid of those dark spots or scars over time
and to help your skin
be brighter
and have an even skin tone
and you'll feel like you have one balanced color across your skin
even!
So these two keywords and more
are some that I have noticed are good to know
when looking for kbeauty products
and asian beauty products
I'll try to share some more of these words
through future videos
I feel like I maybe didn't cover
everything I should have covered
But I don't want to make this video too long
I'd rather have it as a sort of intro to kbeauty
and basically to let you guys know
I know that there is a lot of information out there
and there are so many resources you can use now
including youtube videos
that already exist on the topic of kbeauty and asian beauty
But I'd still like to share my experience and
all the information that
I've collected over the last 5-6 years
that I've been into this world of kbeauty
and asian cosmetics
To be able to give you this information
that I feel like doesn't exist in Spanish
for the spanish speakers, like me!
That I feel like didn't exist
when I was first trying to get into the world of asian beauty
So whatever questions or comments
you guys have, please feel free to leave them here
I'd always love to help out if I can!
Thank you! Have a lovely day!
byeee :)
