Dealing with skin care and beauty in general has been female dominated for pretty much all of time. Part of that goes back to the “olden days” or “good old days” as many a millennial has heard their older relatives refer to the past, where women ascribed to a certain image and lifestyle because that is what society told them they were supposed to do. Though this statement still rings true to this day, many women and men have begun pushing the boundaries and bringing what was once a taboo or alternative thought into the mainstream and making it the new norm. It always seems that in media that beauty, hair and skin products are marketed specifically for women - each product with a specific use - while men are left with one cream you can use to wash and condition your hair, wash your body, and as a face wash/shaving cream. This one and done mentality of male grooming has always been made fun of in the media because men are traditionally “lower maintenance” than women. But the fact of the…
Whether you were first entranced by the glowing, flawless skin of an Asian-American celebrity here in the States; or more recently with the introduction of K-Pop and the influx of Korean culture into our media culture, one of the first things many people think of when they first hear Korean culture is beauty. Now there is no shortage of beauty, skin, hair and other product groups based here in the U.S., so why has K-Beauty sweeped in and become the next big thing?

Innovation & Technology Now when we are looking at the technology and innovations of the K-Beauty industry, it is important to understand why all of these innovations happened in such a seemingly short amount of time. Korean women on average spend over twice as much on beauty and skincare as women in…
Let’s be honest guys, asking and thinking about skin care is probably usually the farthest thing from your minds. Though you may take time on your overall appearance with your clothing or how you wear your hair, it may be difficult to know where to start in the realm of skincare - mostly because most skincare brands, products, and overall content seems to be geared almost exclusively towards women.

My skincare journey has been a struggle since day one. From pills to creams, if it’s got acne-fighting in the title or is marketed as an acne cure, then I have probably tried it. After years of not finding anything that made the acne totally go away, I settled for a product that just made my acne manageable. This all changed about two and a half months ago. Now I will not say that I am not a social media platform user, but up until this point I had never clicked on a Facebook ad - because frankly, I thought they were all just clickbait sites.
