About the Author & Glowy Seoul
Hi, I'm Yuna Johansen, founder of Glowy Seoul. After years of struggling with harsh Western skincare that never worked, I discovered the Korean approach during a trip to Seoul, home city of my grandparents. The difference was remarkable, instead of aggressive products that damage the skin barrier, K-Beauty treats skin gently through layering and barrier-supporting ingredients.
A few months following Korean principles transformed my skin completely, leading me to study cosmetic science and connect with dermatologists specializing in Asian skincare traditions. What started as helping friends and family became Glowy Seoul, where our small team provides personalized Korean skincare consultations.
This guide was born from our mission to make authentic Korean skincare wisdom accessible to everyone. While we love working with clients individually, we created this comprehensive course so anyone can access the same knowledge and principles that have helped our clients achieve healthy, glowing skin.
