The trends in selecting foods and products have shifted considerably over the years. People are increasingly looking for items that are healthier and free of artificial/chemical ingredients. Detoxification is the new big thing. And especially with the overflow of information on the internet, these days we are constantly bombarded with tips for being healthier, cleaner, more organic.
Cosmetic products are no exception. If you have even the slightest knowledge of beauty products in Korea, you will know that there is an endless supply of products to choose from, the majority available at quite affordable prices. It may be overwhelming; how can you know which one is good for you?
Now, a lot of folks would tend toward cosmetics with labels such as "hypoallergenic" or "organic" or basically anything that suggests that the product is gentler and well suited for sensitive skin. However, just because it's labeled that way does not mean that you should select it without thinking. It's actually more important to know which ingredients are suitable for your own skin type, and to choose a product accordingly. Here are some guidelines provided by the Association of Korean Dermatologists:
You should also be careful when using cosmetics that boast "all natural ingredients" - since they are also free of preservatives, they can easily change or go bad.
In any case, take a careful look at the full list of ingredients before making any purchases. If a product includes any one particular substance that is not compatible with your skin, you will most likely break out or develop dermatitis. Many patients also make the problem worse by mistaking this dermatitis for acne, thinking the skin trouble is caused from not washing frequently enough. The best solution, as always, is to consult a dermatologist if you feel that a product is causing breakouts.
If I may suggest one more thing, don't try out several different products at once. If you happen to breakout, you won't be able to figure which one is causing the problem.
Good luck!

- Oily skin types should avoid products that contain triglycerides, palmitic acid, coconut oil etc.
- Dry skin types should avoid ingredients such as alcohol, surfactants, menthol, and peppermint.
- Sensitive skin types should avoid products with alcohol, surfactants, AHA, BHA, oxybenzone etc.
