EPISODE SUMMARY:
KBEAUTY NEWS HEADLINES: Is the EWG Setting back the future of the Korean cosmetics industry?

Ahn Insuk, Director of Korea’s Institute of Dermatological Sciences says that green grade rating systems like those used on Hwahae and rating systems like the EWG are actually setting back the future of the Korean beauty industry. 
In a video released to her YouTube channel, she explained that she doesn’t think it’s necessary to check whether cosmetics contain harmful ingredients for the human body. 
Lauren discusses her thoughts on this and the proliferation of brands claiming to avoid so-called “harmful ingredients.”

Korean Beauty Product Reviews of the Week:

5 star review for d’Alba Piedmont First Spray Serum. 




So worth the price
“Wow! Never again will I buy the cheap sprays that supposedly "hydrate" your skin when all they really do is have the opposite effect. This stuff is actual skin care in a spray bottle. You can feel the mist of serum on your skin and it actually hydrates - I use it all throughout the day if I feel dry or if I want to feel fresh or refresh my makeup. It's so good for travelling on a flight as well. It is expensive but so so worth it and it lasts ages.”




5 Star Review for One Thing Centella Asiatica Toner



In love
“Hydrates my skin and soooo suitable for those with sensitive to combination skin types.”
