"I volunteer as tribute!" is more or less what I said when my editor asked if anyone would test out the strangest Korean beauty products. I have always been enamored with Asian culture and especially Korean beauty products. I love the cute packaging, foreign ingredients, and — most importantly — the amazing benefits.

After work, I scurried off to Koreatown in Manhattan (which happens to be right in between the POPSUGAR New York office and my train home) and started searching for products that even I had never heard of. I don't think I was fully prepared for what was in store for me. Some of these products can be difficult to find online, but it's worth checking your city's local Koreatown . . . or booking a flight to Seoul!
