Beauty Standards In Korea

Light and bright skin

 

Koreans love light and bright skin. There used to be a old saying that those with darker skin came from poorer families as darker (or tanned) skin meant they were laborers who toiled out in the sun all day, while lighter (or white) skin were a sign of the upper class. It’s not quite certain if those past discriminating perceptions still exist today, but still one cannot deny the thousands of skin care products from Korea, such as face mask sheets and creams, which promise to brighten the skin.

V line face

 

Asians naturally have a wider and flatter facial bone structure compared to westerners. This difference has resulted facial bone contouring surgeries to become extremely popular in Asia, especially in Korea.

 

The V-line surgery, which is a reduction of the jaw, chin and cheekbone, is viewed as the “ideal face shaper” as the procedure makes the face line much more symmetrical from the side and front. Many Korean celebrities are known to have done the procedure before, which has since attracted a lot of interest on the procedure from the westerners as well.

Slim, Body

 

In Korea, a slim physique usually means much more than what meets the eye. Good health, diet management, and non-laziness are positive vibes a nice slim body can translate to. Although it may seem a bit different as a more voluptuous curvy figure is more attractive in other countries; in Korea, dieting, exercise and even plastic surgery to slim up is hugely popular.

 

Some of us cannot lose weight in certain areas no matter how hard we try. This is especially true for women who have just given birth. That’s why abdominal liposuction or a tummy tuck is the most well-received procedure for first-time mothers.
