The Korean skincare brand Laneige is celebrated worldwide for its expertise in hydration science and its ability to create glowing, healthy-looking skin from within. With over 25 years of research behind its innovative water-based technology, Laneige has become synonymous with moisture, radiance, and balance, making it a cornerstone of K-beauty.
The name “Laneige” comes from the French word “la neige,” meaning “the snow,” symbolizing purity, clarity, and luminosity — the very qualities the brand strives to deliver to the skin. Each product is formulated with advanced Water Science™ technology, designed to strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier and lock in hydration for lasting comfort and glow.
Among Laneige’s most iconic products are the Water Sleeping Mask and Lip Sleeping Mask, both of which have achieved cult status for their ability to deeply hydrate overnight and leave skin visibly plumper and refreshed. Other favorites, such as the Cream Skin Toner & Moisturizer and Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Cream, showcase the brand’s continuous innovation in developing lightweight yet powerful moisturizing formulas.
Laneige’s products are suitable for all skin types, particularly dry, dehydrated, or dull skin that craves long-lasting hydration.

What makes Laneige truly stand out is its fusion of technology, luxury, and sensorial pleasure. From its soothing textures to its subtle, refreshing scents, every product turns hydration into a self-care ritual. For anyone seeking to restore glow, smoothness, and vitality, Laneige offers the perfect balance between scientific innovation and timeless K-beauty elegance — glowing skin, simplified.
The Korean brand Beauty of Joseon beautifully bridges the gap between traditional skincare secrets and modern innovation. Inspired by the beauty rituals of women from the Joseon Dynasty, the brand combines time-honored herbal ingredients with contemporary formulations to create products that nourish, brighten, and protect the skin in the most elegant way.
At the heart of Beauty of Joseon’s philosophy lies the concept of Hanbang – traditional Korean herbal medicine. Ingredients like ginseng, rice, green plum, and propolis are thoughtfully blended to deliver deep nourishment and restore the skin’s natural radiance. Each product is designed to enhance the skin’s health rather than cover imperfections, embodying the timeless ideal of glowing, balanced beauty.
The brand’s most iconic product, the Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics SPF 50+, has become a global favorite for its lightweight texture and skin-loving finish. Unlike many sunscreens, it feels more like a hydrating cream than a heavy shield, making it perfect for everyday use. The Glow Serum and Dynasty Cream are also beloved for their ability to brighten dull skin and strengthen the moisture barrier.
Beauty of Joseon is suitable for most skin types, particularly normal, dry, and sensitive skin, thanks to its gentle, nourishing formulations. Those with oily or combination skin can also enjoy its products, as the textures are designed to be breathable and non-sticky.
What truly defines Beauty of Joseon is its blend of heritage and modernity. It celebrates the grace and wisdom of traditional Korean skincare while meeting the needs of today’s fast-paced lifestyle. For anyone seeking radiant, healthy skin through gentle, mindful care, Beauty of Joseon offers a perfect harmony of the past and present — timeless beauty, reimagined for the modern world.
The Korean brand Anua has become a favorite among skincare enthusiasts for its simple yet effective approach to beauty. Guided by the philosophy “less is more,” Anua focuses on natural ingredients and gentle formulas designed to calm, balance, and strengthen even the most sensitive skin. One of its most beloved products, the Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner, has gained cult status in the K-beauty world.
Anua’s products are all about purity — free from artificial fragrances, parabens, and harsh additives. Instead, the brand uses skin-loving ingredients like Heartleaf extract and Centella Asiatica to reduce redness and irritation, while Niacinamide brightens and evens out the complexion. The result is hydrated, calm, and healthy-looking skin that feels refreshed rather than overloaded.
Anua is especially suitable for sensitive, combination, or acne-prone skin types thanks to its lightweight, non-greasy textures that restore balance without clogging pores. However, those with very dry skin may find some formulas a bit too light, as the brand prioritizes balance and soothing care over deep nourishment.
What makes Anua truly stand out is its simplicity — in both design and performance. For anyone looking to bring peace and clarity back to their skin with an uncomplicated routine, Anua offers honest, clean skincare that proves sometimes, less really is more.

Whether you tend to have dry, oily, or combination skin is partly genetic. Therefore, the cream that works wonders for your friend may not work for you. In addition to a balanced and healthy diet, your skin benefits from suitable skincare. However, to do this, you naturally need to know what skin type you have. In our post, you can recognize your skin type and learn how to care for it properly.

Normal Skin
Normal skin tolerates all washing substances and can compensate for any disturbances in surface condition in a short time. Nonetheless, even normal skin can leave its typically rosy state through intensive or minimal cleansing measures. Therefore, continue to appreciate and care for normal skin with high-quality care products that benefit your skin. After a facial cleansing with Natural Mild Cleansing Oil, the Skin Softener balances the pH level. The skin is thus optimally prepared for further care steps, such as facial cream or facial oil.A big issue for all skin types is air pollution, which simultaneously means oxidative stress for the skin. Therefore, it is particularly important to actively protect the skin from environmental pollutants. The red camellia - the main ingredient of all Sandawha products - supports the skin with valuable antioxidants against free radicals and oxidative stress. In addition, all products contain natural ingredients that do not additionally burden the skin with unnecessary chemicals.
Combination SkinMost of us tend to have combination skin, which is reflected in dry areas on the cheeks, around the mouth, and eyes. The forehead, nose, and chin ("T-zone") are usually a bit more oily with combination skin. The combination of dry and oily makes skincare not easy since rich care products can cause impurities within the T-zone. The Liposome line from Sandawha is excellent for combination skin because the textures are light and balancing. The revitalizing moisturizing cream is particularly popular for combination skin because it is not too rich. The dry cheek area benefits from the Sandawha Face Oil, which can replace the fats that the skin has lost. Further loss of moisture is thus prevented without sealing the skin.
Dry Skin
The dry skin type often tends to feel tight, as no to little fats are released to the skin surface. Fine lines and wrinkles show earlier on dry skin. An effective measure is products with a high lipid content, for example, camellia seed oil or mango butter. High-quality bioactive oils work best on dry skin and help ensure that the skin does not lose too much moisture throughout the day. The Oil Mist, the Oil Serum, the Ultra Rich Hydrating Cream, and the facial oil are suitable for a care routine for dry skin to bring the dry skin back into balance with natural lipids. For cleansing, the Sandawha Cleansing Oil based on oil is ideal because it preserves the skin's natural moisture.
If you tend to impurities with dry skin, we recommend our article about dry and impure skin. There we reveal how you can bring your dry skin with impurities back into balance.
In our collection for dry skin, you will find selected NABI BEAUTY products for rich care.
Impure Skin
Impure skin often goes hand in hand with oily skin or combination skin. But dry and impure skin is also possible. Reasons for impure skin, i.e., subcutaneous deposits, pimples, and blackheads, can be internal as well as external influences. In principle, a healthy, balanced diet with fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as small breaks from stressful everyday life, helps. Because permanent stress, in particular, leads to increased inflammation and impurities. Also, pay attention to gentle cleansing with a cleansing oil, which removes dirt, oil, and make-up without clogging the pores. A second step with a foam cleaner (double cleansing) is also recommended. The skin regenerates at night and whoever does not remove makeup in the evening risks that the skin is busy fighting free radicals instead of renewing itself.
In our collection for impure skin, you will find suitable NABI BEAUTY products that do not further weigh down the skin.
Oily Skin
Overactive sebaceous glands are responsible for the oily sheen of oily skin. The appearance of impurities outside the T-zone is not uncommon due to the increased sebum production and the associated clogging of the pores. Washing with a mild cleanser that removes excess fat is recommended. After cleansing, use light lotions that do not additionally weigh down the skin. Moisturizing products like the Skin Softener, Hydrating Mist, or Essence provide extra moisture instead of rich care. Oily and at the same time dry combination skin benefits from different care depending on the zone (see above).
Bring your oily skin back into balance with selected NABI BEAUTY products.
What exactly does "vegan skincare" mean?
By definition, vegan beauty products contain no animal or animal-derived ingredients. Instead of animal-derived raw materials, we prescribe plant-based, natural, and organic raw materials to uphold our respect for life.
Why should you choose vegan products?
Vegan skincare offers a whole host of hidden benefits and important active ingredients that will nourish the skin and make you feel fresh as a rose. The plant-based ingredients in many vegan formulas, in fact, contain more vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and natural oils that help repair and moisturize the skin. This will keep your skin soft and protected for longer. These ingredients include vitamins A, C and E, oils such as coconut, argan and rosehip, seaweed, soy extracts, seeds and flower extracts, Goji berries and so on.
Vegan skincare products also tend to be more delicate on the skin. Those with sensitive, easily irritated or allergy-prone skin may find these products particularly useful as they tend to contain fewer ingredients that can aggravate skin conditions or can cause reactions.We promise.Nabi-Beauty
