Korean beauty, popular as K-Beauty, has become the latest and most popular trend in the world of skin care. In recent years, K-pop (Korean music bands) and K-dramas (Korean television series) are becoming famous all around the world. Similarly, the Korean beauty industry has never been far behind. Although there are many online options, the beauty shopping experience gets a notch higher when you actually experience it straight from the source, especially in flagship stores! You can find some of the best places to shop for K-beauty products in Seoul, the capital city, and the fashion capital of South Korea.

Since an early age, it is instilled in Koreans to take care of their skin. Their flawless glass skin has attracted admirers worldwide, and their huge beauty industry is successfully inclusive. Both men and women indulge in self-care through skin care. After all, everyone deserves some self-love! 

Seoul’s fashion streets have something for everyone, and skin care enthusiasts enjoy its benefits to the brim. You will always find what you are looking for! 

When in Seoul, a die-heart skin care lover should always explore Myeongdong: the official Times Square of South Korea. Laden with exquisite stores for fashion, beauty, and eateries, the streets of Myeongdong will surely give you something to vibe with. 

K-Beauty Stores in Seoul

When you want to explore the trending skin care products among Seoulites, you must visit Olive Young. This is Korea’s answer to Sephora, and a well-deserved one indeed! You will find everything that won’t burden your pocket as they have most drugstore brands and even some exclusive products here. If you want to get the must-have Korean beauty products in Korea, this is your go-to place.

The Innisfree Flagship store located in Myeongdong also has the famous green cafe where you can drop after you shop. This store also gives you many unique services, like taking a skin analysis test or customizing an eyeshadow palette for yourself.

The Green cafe has such a relaxed vibe with organic drinks and desserts to enjoy. You won’t feel that you are in one of the busiest streets of Seoul. This is the place to take a deep breath, sip in your hot cuppa coffee, and enjoy some good company with yourself or your friends.

Among all the places you visit, Sulwhasoo’s spa will surely stay with you for a long, long time. 

Etude House Color Factory 

If you want to indulge in a little token to bring back from your trip, a visit to Etude House, a K-beauty shop is a must. Why? Because you can customize your own lipstick here, no kidding! 

All you need to do is make a reservation beforehand. The process takes almost an hour, and they sell out real quick, so remain on the safe side. You can visit any of the two outlets, either the Garosugil one or Myeongdong.
