The two cultures that have created the most beauty buzz over the years undoubtedly hail from France and South Korea. From the effortlessly gorgeous\u00a0\u201cI woke up like this\u201d French look to K-Beauty\u2019s 10-step skincare routine, there is a lot to learn from both countries. We spoke with Katalin Berenyi, co-founder of the French-and-Korean brand, Erborian<\/a>, to discuss the differences between the two iconic beauty cultures.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In your opinion, what are the main differences between French and Korean beauty?<\/strong><\/p>\n Both have lots to offer. Korean beauty is extremely sophisticated and can seem sometimes complicated for someone new to the routine, as there are many steps and processes. French beauty, on the other hand, is a bit more simplified with a more laid-back attitude. It is very chic and elegant, but is more streamlined and focused on delivering immediate results. French beauty products also have a tendency to lean more towards natural-based products, whereas Korean beauty products often have lots of science behind them.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n How do skincare rituals differ between cultures?<\/strong><\/p>\n The textures of South Korean beauty products tend to be very lightweight and fluid, which makes them optimal for layering, whereas in France the products tend to be richer and more nourishing, eliminating the need for many steps\u2014they are multitasking formulas, whereas in Korea each product has a very specific function.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n What about ingredients in French vs. Korean skincare products?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n They both enjoy highlighting ingredients that are indigenous to their regions. In Korea, ginseng and yuza are very popular in skincare, while in France women tend to lean towards aromatic herbs like lavender and rosemary, or treasures like French honey.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
