Ancient Chinese beauty. t’s no secret that when it comes to skincare, East Asia is seriously ahead of the game. First came Korean beauty, with its goal of ‘cloudless skin’ and a ten-step skincare routine, then Japanese beauty with its science-driven formulas and intriguing textures.
But Korea’s unassuming neighbour, China, is actually home to some of the most ancient beauty rituals with surprising skincare benefits. And if the jade roller is anything to go by, C-beauty could be about to take over…
