Hanbok, personalised skin care by therapist Key
There are so many types of Korean cosmetics that it's hard to know what to buy. I opened a studio in Hongdae after researching ingredients at a cosmetics company. I have recorded more than 8,000 cases of the skin of travellers from more than 50 countries, and after checking the skin condition on that day, I use only what is necessary. I also provide a routine and products that can keep my skin healthy when I return.

Premium personalised care and skin care report 60 minutes
The therapist first checks the current condition of your skin and then formulates the care with ingredients that can restore that condition. We examine your skin for longer than with the Signature treatment and provide detailed, area-specific care according to the condition of each area.
After the treatment, we will send you a personalised skincare report by email. The products and ingredients used today, the ingredients and formulations suitable for your skin, and a one-month routine are organised so that you can continue to care for your skin even after your trip.

Décolleté and facial care with Korea's three main traditional oils
It starts with you personally choosing one of the three traditional oils produced in each region of Korea.
· Yeosu Red Camellia Oil — Deep Moisturisation
· Jeju cypress oil — subtle forest scent
· Busan Natural Evening Primrose Seed Oil — Skin Barrier Care
Start with a moment of rest during your trip, lying comfortably on a warm bed.
Once your body is relaxed, we carefully care for your shoulders and décolleté with the oil you have chosen.
Finally, after checking the condition of your skin, we will perform facial care according to your condition on that day and finish with the sheet mask you have chosen.
