You don’t usually see dark skinned girls raving about Korean beauty products. The problem is simple — you will rarely reach out for something when the faces marketing it to you never look like you, or don’t have the #goals you’re looking for. Sure, you’ve delved into a snail slime mask or two but dark skinned women can get the whole “glass skin” look to. Here are some of our favourite products to achieve just that.
The two-step cleansing method is now so mainstream you can’t exactly call it Korean. But it definitely does the job of cleaning all the makeup, grime and dirt from your face. This one starts as a sherbet consistency when you first scoop it up, but it melts into a luxurious oil-type makeup and residue remover once you massage it all over your skin.
This mildly acidic cleanser works with the skin’s natural pH level to give you supple, clean skin without stripping it of its natural oils. It exfoliates dead skin cells and treats blemishes all at the same time.

Load up by tapping these boosters, serums, and ampoules into your skin and watch them tackle your skin concerns like dull skin, large pores, pigmentation, wrinkles, or acne. It’s not hard to experience dullness from dehydration with darker skin tones, and this serum does the job and gets your skin all dewy. It’s great under makeup too.
