If you're in Korea and want to treat yourself, skin clinics and spas are absolutely worth checking out. From advanced skincare to relaxing massages, Korea offers a wide range of beauty treatments that go way beyond just a facial.

One of the most popular choices, especially among locals, is the "glow-up" skin treatment. These usually include deep cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, soothing masks, and finishing touches like serums or LED therapy. Many clinics also offer more high-tech options like laser treatments or aqua peel facials. Most clinics will tailor the session to your skin condition—dry, acne-prone, sensitive—after a quick skin check. But be ware where you go and what treatment you choose, not every treatment is for everyone. 

Hair spa treatments - A proper hair spa here might include a scalp detox, nourishing hair masks, a massage, and even a steam session -  this is a great way to bring your hair back to health.

Korea also does massages a little differently depending on where you go. Some places focus on traditional techniques like acupressure or lymphatic drainage, while others offer full-on luxury aroma massages. You can find everything from casual budget places to high-end hotel spas with private rooms and herbal teas.

And if you’re curious about what colors suit you best—something that's been trending a lot lately—many salons now offer personal color analysis. In this session, they test out different shades next to your face to see what tones match your natural features (clothes, hair and makeup).  It’s super useful if you want to shop smarter for clothes or makeup, and it’s honestly kind of fun to see yourself in totally different lights.
