The 11 K-Beauty Skincare Serums To Try For A Glass Skin Glow
With major beauty retailers such as Boots, Sephora and SpaceNK introducing specific K-Beauty sections to their respective websites, it's clear that Korean skincare - from milky toners to SPF - is having a real moment. PureSeoul, the K-beauty store, has also opened its doors in London, proving that K-Beauty is a force to be reckoned with. From snail mucin to 10-step routines, Korean skincare never fails to get the internet talking. But don't let renegade ingredients and extensive regimes put you off, Korean skincare brands are known for their refined textures and gentle yet efficient formulas that promise a glass skin effect without upsetting the skin barrier. 'Korean skincare is built on the philosophy that prevention is better than cure,' says facialist and skin expert, Mina Lee. 'Korean serums are usually lightweight and designed to be layered, so the skin absorbs nutrients gradually without feeling overloaded.' Rather than overwhelming the skin with a high dose of actives, Korean serums tend to nurture the skin barrier so it remains healthy and strong. You will find science-backed active ingredients such as retinol, vitamin C and salicylic acid in Korean formulas, but they're often paired with soothers and hydrators, such as panthenol and cica. '[Korean skincare] often use ingredients rooted in traditional herbal medicine, refined with modern cosmetic science,' Lee tells ELLE UK. Cica is a go-to for soothing stressed or inflamed skin, ginseng helps to brighten a tired complexion while fermented extracts enhance absorption. If your skin is on the oilier side of the spectrum, or tends to feel greasy in the summer, try swapping your moisturiser for a hydrating Korean serum under your SPF moisturiser. Since the serums are generally water-based and light, it prevents the skin from feeling heavy. Of course, if you do prefer something richer for dry skin, there are Korean serums that delivers exactly that with added squalane or plant oils. Those prone to redness in the heat will also love how gentle K-beauty formulas are. 'Anyone with sensitive, dehydrated, or easily irritated skin will notice the benefits quickly. They're also great for people who want visible results but can't tolerate aggressive acids or high-strength retinoids,' shares Lee. 'Many of my clients are surprised at how calm, hydrated, and radiant their skin becomes when we shift to a gentler, layered approach.' Packed with niacinamide and antioxidant bakuchiol, this silky serum helps with restoring parched complexions and protecting against environmental damage. It contains nourishing plant oils, yet remains light enough for combination skin types. Don't worry, you won't find bits of pottery in this formula. The name refers to how smooth your skin will feel after continued use of this milky serum. Created to also suit sensitive or irritated skin, rice bran oil and squalane deliver intense hydration without greasiness or pilling under make-up. Oilier complexions can simply layer this before an SPF moisturiser, or use it alongside a face cream if you're prone to dehydration. A gentle exfoliant, this serum sinks in quickly to rebalance oily complexions and slough away dead cells while refining pores and skin texture. It feels refreshing on hot summer days, but if your skin is especially sensitive, ease into with by applying every two days. Angry, inflamed spots don't stand a chance against this clarifying serum, which tackles blemishes without further drying out the surrounding area. This serum takes a holistic approach to oily, spot-prone skin. Salicylic acid tackles active breakouts while niacinamide helps to rebalance an oily complexion. Soothing ingredients such as lactobacillus and tea extract help calm any inflammation while ceramides work to rebuild a compromised skin barrier. While this is technically called an essence, it does function as an ultralight serum that delivers brightening and hydrating properties to oil-prone skin types (yes, you can be oily and dehydrated). It contains galactomyces ferment filtrate which helps with uneven skin tone and when combined with niacinamide, can do wonders for hyperpigmentation. If you enjoy the sensorial aspect of skincare, consider this all-rounder serum by Laneige. The uplifting fragrance elevates a morning routine while the formula promises to imbue the skin with a gentle glow thanks to a cocktail of antioxidants, plumping peptides and lightweight hydrators. This no-frills, straightforward serum is designed specifically for irritated, inflamed complexions as Centella asiatica (a type of plant) is highly acclaimed for its soothing properties. A useful serum to have in your arsenal for whenever your skin needs extra comfort. This underrated serum by Anua is incredibly effective at minimising the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone. The brightening combination of niacinamide, tranexamic acid and arbutin promises an even glow while plant extracts and soothing cica ensures your skin stays nourished and calm. Designed with fragile complexions in mind, Purito's gentle serum is free from fragrance or essential oils, and is loaded with panthenol, ectoin and allantoin; ingredients that aim to calm, hydrate and bolster the skin's natural barrier. Keep this in your stash for any flare-ups. It's useful for resetting sensitised skin, too. If you're prone to sensitivity but are keen to try a vitamin C serum, this is a great place to start. It's padded with soothing panthenol and cushioned with hyaluronic acid to lock in hydration. Expect to see a gentle glow in no time. Hyaluronic acid is found in most skincare formulas, so you may not need a separate one. However, if you're looking for extra hydration that still feels lightweight, it can be a nice addition to your routine. This one by Belif uses seven different kinds of hyaluronic acid for better performance, and is laced with calming allantoin.

CEO defends $649 cost of iconic boot as Aussie brands pushed to collapse: 'Out of the battler's price range'
Iconic boot maker RM Williams has defended the significant price tag attached to the handcrafted footwear as some Australians argue they are now out of reach for the average "battler". The recognisable Aussie brand has an asking price of $649 and now competes with fast fashion juggernauts like Shein and Temu — the likes of which have been blamed in part for the collapse of major local retailers. One shopper said a chestnut pair of the Comfort Craftsmen boots - popular choice from farmers to CBD workers - were "just not purchasable", despite being knocked down to $520 on sale. But RM Williams CEO Paul Grosmann told Yahoo Finance the quality craftsmanship would save buyers in the long run. 'Fast fashion may be cheaper upfront, but it's built to be disposable," Grosmann said. RELATED Photos in shuttered Ally store reveals grim voluntary administration reality Little-known Centrelink perk offers Australian students free flights Workplace warning as Aussie fired for using wrong pronouns 'Our boots are made the old-fashioned way: handcrafted and built to last a lifetime. Ultimately, that's better for the planet and your wallet.' What is the true value of $699 boot Opinions have been mixed about the value attached to boots like RMs. Some agreed they were "out of the Aussie battler's price range". "I know they're quality and worth it, but I just can't afford them at the moment," added another. "That's just unAustralian," wrote a third about the price. The Comfort Craftsman would set you back $699 if you bought them from the RM Williams site. A pair of Signature Craftsman boots were $1, with every claim the boots had become too expensive, there was an equal amount defending them. Australian shoe repairer Troy Inkster said he's seen a lot of shoes over the years and said the ones that are built properly are the ones that last. "You buy an average shoe or sneaker for $150 plus, get one to two years out of them," he said. "Or buy something that will last 10 years plus. The problem is not many invest in their feet and are happy to invest in a false economy." "Had mine for 20 years. Just gave them a polish as I do regularly. Wear them everyday to work. Had three new soles and still going strong. Worth every cent," added another. "When you break it down over how many years and how many times you'll wear them, its worth it. Its just the upfront cost that is a huge turn off," wrote a third. Aussies fight against fast fashion Many retailers across the country are fighting against Shein and Temu's meteoric rise. The two Chinese online marketplaces have already been partly blamed for the downfall of several big names in Australia, like Oroton, and Noni B's parent Mosaic Brands, while others have expressed concern over the local retail market if current trends continue. Roy Morgan research showed Temu held almost one-fifth of the Aussie retail sector, with 3.8 million people making at least one purchase in a year. Independent consultant Kroll, which was brought in to assess a deal from Myer to acquire Premier's Apparel Brands (Just Jeans, Jacqui E, Dotti and Portmans, and Jay Jays), said it was a tough time for the retail industry. It pointed to how Shein and Temu have gained market share by "heavy discounting and aggressive social media marketing spend", which Aussie brands just can't keep up with. Australian Made helps people know whether a product has been produced locally through its iconic certification system. Its chief executive, Ben Lazzaro, told Yahoo Finance that it pays to buy local. "Australian-made products are not only made to some of the world's highest manufacturing and safety standards, they also have significant social, environmental, and ethical benefits, making them the preferred choice for many Australians," he said. Quality vs cost: Australians feel cost-of-living pinch Grosmann told Yahoo Finance that RM Williams resoles up to 30,000 boots annually. He said this not only cuts down on waste, but proved how you only need small tweaks on these boots rather than getting a total replacement. 'In our Adelaide workshop, we handcraft every pair of RM Williams boots by hand using premium materials. This is slow, deliberate work compared to automated factories producing billions of pairs a year," Grosmann said. 'We make every RM Williams boot so it can be remade. We stitch our soles by hand, allowing replacement in 10, 20, or even 30 years, extending the life of the boot by decades." 'This isn't the fastest way to make footwear but making something properly takes time." The cost-of-living crisis has caused some people to pick from Shein and Temu over local Aussie brands. However, the 2023 Good On You sustainability report found clothing from Shein ranked among the least durable of any major fashion retailer tested. Some might prefer to buy a pair of $100 boots made in China that might break down over 12 months as it's a much smaller upfront cost. But Roy Morgan found 73 per cent of Aussies are willing to buy more locally-made goods to reduce reliance on overseas supply chains. Nearly three-quarters (72 per cent) said they would be willing to pay more for Australian-made products, and 67 per cent indicated that they intend to increase their purchases of locally made products over the next 12 months.
