Rebecca works in advertising in Chicago, so Seoul’s beauty trends are familiar ground. It was a time when US beauty brands were racing to push “glass skin” and keep up with K-beauty. Videos of skin treatments in Korea started showing up on her social media, too. But that didn’t easily turn into a plan to visit Seoul, a city she didn’t know. Besides, she had just entered her 30s, and skin care products and an LED mask were all she needed. Redness, mild breakouts, and the first fine lines bothered her. But treatments still felt a long way off.
“Not top of mind for my age range yet.”
Then her older sister, Molly, who’d already had treatments, told her about a Seoul skin treatment tour with MOSIM. Seoul is the most advanced city for skin treatments, Molly said. And since MOSIM arranges everything from choosing trustworthy clinics to booking treatments to clinic visits, even someone new to treatments can go without worrying. If this was going to be her first treatment anyway, Rebecca wanted it done where treatment expertise runs deepest. So she decided to go to Seoul.
The change stood out more the first time
In Seoul, she had Juvelook, a skin booster, and Ultherapy, an ultrasound lifting treatment. Right after, her face was a little swollen and tingly. But once the swelling went down, she started to see a difference. Her skin had a glow and a freshness it hadn’t had before, and the contours of her face looked more defined. She also started using new products she found in Seoul: toner pads, a hyaluronic acid serum, and sunscreen. Her whole skin care routine changed.
“I can see from the Ultherapy, I think my jawline is sharper.”
Beyond skin, a change in style too
Rebecca’s time in Seoul went beyond treatments. What stayed with her most was the personal color analysis. A professional stylist figured out her colors, then recommended the hair and makeup that suit her, and even the exact makeup products to use. She was happy with the shopping, too. She liked the sunglasses from a local Seoul brand’s store even more than the designer pair she already owned. Everything she bought in Seoul was better quality than she expected. Seen from a Han River cruise, Seoul was a global city that welcomes travelers, just like London, Paris, or Tokyo. It was easy to get by in English everywhere, and everyone she met was kind.
“I keep thinking about it whenever I go shopping, and I’m like, I can’t buy that.”
Seoul, still part of her days back home
Back in Chicago, her friends’ first questions were about her skin care and treatments. And Seoul has stayed part of Rebecca’s everyday life. She uses the skin care products she picked up there, and she chooses what to wear based on her color analysis results. Her first treatments in Seoul also taught her what to look for. Next, she wants to look into a laser to help with her redness.
Individual results vary.
