K-Beauty Vs J-Beauty!!!

    The trending fashion of the use of Korean Beauty and Japanese Beauty is no secret. K-dramas and Japanese shows have not only gathered a massive cult following for their content but also for their flawless skin and beauty goals making their skincare routines a massive hit everywhere. But what is the difference between J-beauty and K-beauty? Which one would suit you better? I have all the answers you need to make your pick, so read on to start your journey towards clear, plump and luminous skin!Which is better?🤭aren’t they the same skincare product? Is any more affordable? ALL YOUR QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED, right now , right here!! However, majority of people forget the difference between the both! They are so similar yet different in their ways.

You want LUMINOUS and PORELESS  ‘GLASS’ skin??

Then K-Beauty is definitely your way to go!

You can want soft and plump ‘MOCHI’ skin??

Then J-Beauty is definitely your way to go!

K-Beauty

      Korean Beauty, also known as K-Beauty is a skincare regimen for mainly achieving the appearance of a Luminous and Pore-free skin. K-beauty products blew up as the trending national skincare not in 2020 but actually in the year 2011. It is more globally available than Japanese beauty and has been tested to give faster results!

J-Beauty

      Japanese Beauty, also known as J-Beauty is a skincare routine aimed for Plump and Soft skin. J-beauty though less popular is known for their cleansing balm, makeup and toners. It is also one of the oldest skincare regimen globally!

Which is more affordable?

     Practically, K-Beauty is more affordable as it is more widely available and has many super cute and innovative packaging and product options. But as it makes it more affordable it also is relatively more expensive as K-beauty skincare routines have way more steps than that of J-beauty!!

Japanese beauty products have a more premium price range, but since it only has four steps, more often than not, it’s comparatively affordable.

Packaging!!!!

J-beauty is rooted in traditional practices and blends in modern products that have trailblazing formulations. Whereas K-beauty is all about pushing the boundary by creating unconventional skincare offerings with never done before formulations. For example, rubber masks, cushion compacts and activating serum are some of K-beauty inventions that we are in awe of!

     They are both very effective skin care products and I really can’t say which is but have varying purposes, so go for what your skin goal is !!!💋 Here are some of my fave and most recommended K-beauty and J-beauty products:
