Our fascination with the Korean's beauty habits has just reached new heights. We guessed they started on the anti-aging train early, but not this early.

In an interesting read on Byrdie insiders share the backstory of K-Beauty, and Alicia Yoon talks "toddler facials". Officially a THING.

The esthetician and founder of Asian beauty e-commerce shop, Peach & Lily, remembers visiting her "family facialist" (what do you mean you don't have one!?) when she was as young as three years old.

"She would give me little toddler facials," Alicia told the beauty website. And past the age of 10, proper anti-aging was a given. By then, "you're already going with your mum to your family facialist every week or two," she added.

The 10-step routine aged 11? When you grow up in the Korean beauty culture it's perfectly normal – and it's not "a vanity thing", apparently.

Alicia says, "it's seen as a way to take care of yourself", in the same vein as nutrition and fitness.

At the rate we're embracing Korean beauty trends, we could well become early adopters of their skincare rituals here, too. Well, a family facialist does sound like a good idea – doesn't it?
