Summer is here, and it's here to stay - time to share my Korean sunscreen recommendations for summer 2022 in today's The K-Beauty Podcast episode! Since we are about to go through a massive heat wave here in Germany, I instantly felt drawn to talking about "summery" skincare topics for the new K-Beauty Podcast episode. Korean sunscreens have been getting a bad rep thanks to the whole 202 Korean sunscreen crisis, but I still steadfastly love them. And, there are so many amazing Korean...

I decided on a spontaneous, non-scripted, flow-y kind of K-beauty catch up for today, which hopefully will lead to both me and you getting at least a momentary break from all the upheavals of the world. Mostly, I just want to hang out with you guys and discuss all the Korean beauty products that I've been loving lately, and those currently on my wish list. Because this was a very unscripted recording, I got a bit off topic in the beginning, sharing how I felt after both covid vaccine doses...

Today's episode focuses on the "J-beauty vs. K-beauty" debate, which seems to be heating up in 2018.
