Beauty gifts from Korea for the family: what works and what doesn't
Coming back from Korea without gifts for aunts, cousins and friends isn't an option in many Latin households. On travel forums, these are the most recommended ideas… and the most regretted:
Usually a hit
- Sheet masks in individual sachets: light, cheap, easy to hand out.
- Hand creams in small tubes: they suit almost anyone.
- Lip balms or tints in universal shades.
- Mini-size sets sold in many shops: a no-pressure way to try things.
Usually a miss
- Foundations and cushions without knowing the person's shade.
- Strong actives (acid exfoliants, retinoids) for someone who doesn't use them.
- Heavily scented products, in case of sensitive skin.
Logistics
-
Check liquid limits if you're flying with cabin baggage only.
-
Wrap bottles in clothes and put liquids in zip bags.
-
Keep receipts in case customs asks.
