Cultural Context
In K-beauty, 페이셜 오일 is a key product for achieving the coveted 'glass skin' or 'chok-chok' (촉촉, dewy and moisturized) look. It's often used as the final step in a multi-step routine to seal in all the moisture and nutrients. While historically some might have feared oils causing breakouts, K-beauty's focus on lightweight, non-comedogenic formulations, often with botanical extracts, has made them widely accepted and even luxurious.
