Snail mucin, bee venom, eggshells — anyone who has used Korean skincare products knows these ingredients are among the most effective m for beautiful skin. Why you should apply snail slime to your face or voluntarily expose your skin to bee venom – these are questions that Anna from Keauti, a company specializing in Korean skincare products, can answer much better. I used exactly this advice in 2022 — still clueless and slightly overwhelmed at the time — and still use the recommended products today. Whether it’s blemishes, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation or pore refinement — Keauti has a product for every skin type and need. For me, the special thing about Korean skincare is the fusion of innovative ingredients and traditional medicinal herbs that have been used and revered in Korean culture for centuries, such as ginseng, rice water, bamboo water and snail mucin. And because Korean skincare is of course also about trends, founder Anna and her partner regularly travel to Korea, visit leading trade fairs and then bring the best directly to Berlin.
In 2018, the pair launched their company with a first online store; the first boutique followed in 2019 and there are now two stores – one in Mitte and one on Ku’damm. It’s worth stopping by, because you’ll leave the boutique with a much better understanding of your own skin. Mine certainly feels cleaner since the changeover and I’ve finally managed to introduce the “7-step skincare routine” – and it’s rare for me to really stick to a routine. I can only be tempted by the beautiful packaging of the products and quick results, which I get both from Keauti.
