Note: This post contains affiliate links* We’re steering towards the end of 2019 and thus also in the direction of 2020! Time to look at what we can expect from the new year in terms of Korean skincare trends in my K-beauty trend forecast for 2020, on an all new episode of The K-Beauty Podcast!
Welcome to the last The K-Beauty Podcast episode of the decade – and, how could I not make it all about looking ahead and chatting about one of my favourite topics: trends in K-beauty! You all know by now that I’m a bit of a beauty trend sleuth, and judging from the download statistics, this is your number one favourite topic as well.
In the past weeks, I have been paying extra close attention to Korean brands that are known to be trendsetters, as well as especially Korea-based influencers to get a sense of what’s trending right now and what will be the biggest trends in Asian beauty for 2020. For my K-beauty trend forecast for the new year, I have selected 5 K-beauty skincare trends that I currently see emerging and that I believe will be huge in 2020 in the Korean and the wider Asian beauty industry!
Here is episode TWENTY-FOUR of The K-Beauty Podcast: My K-Beauty Trend Forecast for 2020
