Beauty Secrets from Korea

The beauty industry of the “country of morning freshness” is ahead of the rest, and Koreans can boast the highest level of per capita consumption of cosmetics: 17–18 products daily. Particular attention is paid to whitening. It has long been believed that a porcelain face is a sign of aristocracy. Still, wealthy people did not have to "sunbathe" in rice fields.
Another trend is the means to turn the so-called “mono-century” into a double, in other words, to create a fold on the upper eyelid, which simply does not exist due to the Asian section of the eyes. For this purpose, special glue is used, which is always sold in conjunction with a small slingshot to turn the eyelid.

Life hacks of Korean women

Korea has over 150 of its own brands. The level of competition between them is huge, and each brand is trying to surprise. Here is a cream with snail mucus (amazingly heals, contains collagen and elastin!), And shampoo with volcanic rocks. So you have a lot of discoveries.
The favorite make-up technique of Korean girls is the ombre effect on the lips. Contrast color application creates a memorable makeup, lips look puffy and voluminous.
Another rule of makeup comes from Korea: healthy skin should shine, thereby showing that it has enough moisture. Highlighter is one of the essentials in a cosmetic bag.
To cleanse your face, try using rice water at least once. Soak the rice in water for 20 minutes, strain it - you're done!

Lifehacks Italians

Olive oil in Italy is used not only inside. They cleanse their skin, treat sunburn, and also make hair conditioner based on it. Mix a glass of yogurt with a tablespoon of olive oil. Apply to washed hair and hold for 5 minutes before rinsing. Rosehip oil is another “magic elixir” that native Italians advise keeping at home. It will relieve irritation at once, erase traces of stretch marks, and “tighten” minor abrasions.

And African women have a favorite product for all occasions - "zambuk" (you will be visiting South Africa, be sure to buy it). A viscous green ointment based on herbal ingredients is applied to chapped lips and softens the cuticle if it is prone to burr formation. In addition, the "potion" relieves itching from insect bites.

The Dead Sea mud, from which mud wraps and applications are made, deserves special attention.
