Glow Naturally: DIY Beauty Rituals

Step into a serene hanok tucked in Seochon Village, where you’ll explore the art of Korean skincare through time-honored rituals and ingredients. We’ll begin with an introduction to Korea’s holistic approach to beauty—one rooted in balance, simplicity, and connection to nature.

Then, we’ll move into hands-on activities: you’ll learn how to craft natural skincare enhancers—like a revitalizing facial mist and a soothing toner—that can be seamlessly integrated into your existing routine. I’ll guide you step-by-step, showing how these time-tested remedies can complement modern skincare without replacing it. Around the 1-hour mark, we’ll pause for tea and Korean treats in the peaceful hanok setting.

Throughout the session, you’ll hear the stories behind traditional Korean ingredients and how they’ve been used for generations. You’ll leave with your custom creations, a recipe card, and glowing skin—plus the knowledge to enhance your ritual with the best of both worlds.

Total class time is 2 hours.
