Can we trust K-beauty reviews, or are all Korean beauty bloggers automatically dishonest as soon as they accept "free stuff"? I have noticed a lot of distrust in the Asian skincare community lately, and so I feel it is time to discuss the "elephant in the room" of blogging as a business and whether or not we can actually trust the opinions of K-beauty influencers anymore in today's The K-Beauty Podcast!

Today's episode focuses on the "J-beauty vs. K-beauty" debate, which seems to be heating up in 2018. I will discuss why painting Korean beauty as a somehow inferior, less mature type of skin care when compared to the "sophisticated" and "pure" skin care that Japan has to offer is beyond problematic!

Polluaging is SUCH a "buzzy" topic at the moment - it keeps popping up on my social media feeds! Find out what is behind this slightly tongue-twisty term and why anti pollution skincare is not just a silly marketing ploy meant to sell you products, but an actual, real skin concern that will become even bigger in the future, thanks to the growing, global challenges of urban living.

It's time for another episode of The K-Beauty Podcast, and today is all about K-beauty ingredients! Rather than getting stuck on whether or not "snail slime" is yucky or sexy, we are delving deeper into the world of K-beauty and look at 5 Korean skincare ingredients that I personally consider to be super exciting! K-beauty ingredients discussed in this episode: 1.) Propolis (which I keep embarrassingly mispronouncing...) 2.) Beta Glucan 3.) Fermented ingredients 4.) Red Ginseng 5.) Donkey milk and goat milk Check out my blog for episode notes, and links to all the products, articles, reviews and topics mentioned on this podcast episode: http://sugarpeachesloves.net/the-k-beauty-podcast-beyond-snail-5-k-beauty-ingredients For questions, topic suggestions, collaboration interests email me at sugarpeachesloves@gmail.com Follow me on Instagram for more K-beauty goodness: https://www.instagram.com/sugarpeachesloves/ If you like my content and wish to support me and my work, you can buy me a "virtual coffee" at Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ulrikescherer Intro and outro music: "Puzzle Pieces" by Lee Rosevere

K-beauty and self-care go together like sheet masks and pampering! Self-care is all the rage at the moment, and often misunderstood both by critics and proponents of the "wellness" marketing machine. For me, self-care has often been about pure survival in a world filled with more and more anxiety-inducing incidences. So, I felt that this would be a fitting topic right for The K-Beauty Podcast right after Valentine's Day, in case some of you still feel a bit raw and emotional. I'll talk a little bit about the current self-care "craze" and how it's often misinterpreted as indulgent, shallow and self-centred. Skincare is getting such a bad rep at the moment, so I wanted to say my piece regarding this. And, of course, I will also discuss why Korean beauty is so well-suited for self-care and self-soothing, and give some advice on how to support your self-care journey with Korean and Asian beauty products and rituals. DISCLAIMER: Topics of mental illness will be mentioned throughout this episode, mainly depression, so double-check if that is ok for you!
