Missing Japan and Korea? Us, too. Thankfully, our skin and hair won't have to, thanks to all the exciting Korean and Japanese beauty brands that have been setting up shop locally. Check them out below for your next shopping haul!
1. Anessa
Anessa sunscreens have been number one in Japan for 19 years, known for being incredibly lightweight and water-resistant with the intense sun protection to match. Their products have the highest level of SPF and PA in Japanese regulation (SPF 50+ PA++++), while the Perfect UV Sunscreen Skincare Milk is considered the most water-resistant of the bunch. Needless to say, they'll make wearing sunscreen daily less of a chore!
