The South Korean beauty industry continues to shape global skincare and cosmetics trends, with Meiyume spotlighting the latest innovations driving K-Beauty’s export boom. 

K-Beauty’s success is fuelled by its science-backed formulations, minimalist routines, and skin-first philosophy, which have gained traction worldwide.
