5 Joseon-era beauty ingredients that kept Korean skin and hair glowing long before modern skincare

Many years ago, when glass skin was just starting to become a worldwide smash hit, and all markets were filled with essences, ampoules, and sheet masks, Korean women relied on nature to maintain healthy skin and shiny hair. During the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1897), beauty was heavily influenced by Hanbang, a traditional Korean herbal medicine, which promoted the idea of nourishing the body and skin with the help of natural ingredients rather than hiding the flaws. Many ingredients utilised in modern Korean cosmetics, like rice, ginseng, mung beans, and camellia oil, are taken from centuries-old rituals. While modern devices are based on modern cosmetic science, the ideas come from natural remedies that have been utilised for ages.
