KGLOW

My unexpected golf accessory—and why I wish I’d tried it sooner! If you’ve ever spent a sunny day playing golf trying to hide your face from the sun, you know the struggle. You apply sunscreen. You reapply it. You wear a hat, adjust the brim, and turn your face away from the sun whenever possible. Sometimes, I felt like I spent more time protecting my face than actually enjoying the outdoors! Then I discovered something new while shopping in Korea: UV-protection face patches. At first, I was skeptical. Stick something on my face? While playing golf? Wouldn’t it feel uncomfortable? Would it peel off when I started sweating? And, perhaps most importantly, would people look at me and wonder if I had accidentally walked out of the house with a piece of tissue or a leftover snack stuck to my cheek? Yes, I really thought about that last one. 😂 My First Time Wearing Them Despite my doubts, I decided to give them a try. And honestly? I was pleasantly surprised. The patches were thin, lightwei...

If you’re a fan of Korean beauty, you probably already know that Olive Young is one of the best places to discover the latest K-beauty products. While Korean skincare gets most of the attention, Korean body care is also worth exploring. From lightweight lotions that absorb in seconds to rich formulas made for dry skin, there are plenty of options to add to your daily routine. Here are some Korean body lotions at Olive Young that are worth checking out right now. 1. Vaseline Gluta-Hya Serum Body Lotion The Vaseline Gluta-Hya Serum Body Lotion is one of the more interesting options if you want something beyond basic body moisturizing.

  I sometimes go to Marshalls just for fun . Not because I need anything in particular. More like taking a little shopping stroll—just to see if there happens to be something good. What I like about Marshalls is that I'm not necessarily looking for cheap things . I'm looking for good things at surprisingly low prices . And every once in a while, I find something that makes the trip worthwhile. I've found Laura Ashley pajamas with beautifully soft cotton, and occasionally really nice bedding. This year, I was especially lucky. I happened to find a Made in Italy silk beach dress , and I also found a Theory linen shirt that I thought would make a nice gift for my younger brother. Those are the kinds of discoveries that keep me coming back. Just Looking Around… Then I Saw K-Beauty A few days ago, I stopped by Marshalls again. I wasn't looking for anything specific. I was just walking around thinking, Maybe there's something nice today? And then I saw it. K-beauty. Wel...

  One of the things that makes me happy about living in the U.S. these days is how easy it has become to find K-beauty products without specifically looking for them . Not long ago, if I wanted Korean beauty products, I would naturally think of Korean beauty stores or order them online. Then came Sephora and Ulta . K-beauty products started appearing more and more often in their beauty aisles. Then Target joined in, making Korean skincare even easier to find during an ordinary shopping trip. And now, I have another place to add to the list: Whole Foods. I Wasn't Even Looking for Beauty Products I recently stopped by the Whole Foods in Glenview, Illinois to pick up a few things. I was walking through the store and passed the vitamin section, when I happened to notice the beauty aisle. I wasn't looking for skincare. I wasn't even thinking about K-beauty. But then I spotted something familiar. Mighty Patch. And then I noticed an Acure face mask . I had that little moment of...

  After summer, I suddenly noticed that my skin looked much duller than usual. Maybe it was the combination of sun, heat, and spending more time outdoors, but one day I looked in the mirror and thought, Do I need to start making a face mask with fresh lemon? 😄 That was when I started paying more attention to my skincare routine, and Goodal Vita C became one of the products I reached for every day. What I like about this serum is that it fits easily into my everyday routine. I’m not looking for a complicated skincare routine or a product that promises to completely transform my skin overnight. I simply want my complexion to look a little brighter, fresher, and more alive. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve noticed that my skin can look tired even when I’ve had enough sleep. Sometimes it’s not about having a major skin problem—it’s just that my complexion seems to have lost some of its natural brightness. That’s when a vitamin C serum makes sense to me. Goodal Vita C has now become one of ...

  When I turned 40, I started noticing something about my skin that I couldn't quite ignore. My skin didn't necessarily look bad, but it often looked dull, tired, and less lively than it used to. Even when I was wearing makeup, my complexion sometimes seemed to lack that healthy, fresh look. I found myself looking for skincare that could give my skin more hydration and glow without making my routine complicated. That's when I decided to try VT PDRN Cream 100 . (This is actually one of the products I use every day, but somehow, it just doesn't photograph as beautifully as it looks in real life. 😄) Why PDRN Caught My Attention PDRN has become a popular ingredient in Korean skincare, especially in products designed for skin that looks dry, tired, or lacking in elasticity. What interested me about this cream is that it doesn't rely on PDRN alone. The formula also contains ceramides, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, and macadamia seed oil , which makes it feel more like a ...
