In Marie Claire's article, The New Skincare Superpower, the Korean beauty industry is described as being 12 years ahead of the U.S. in terms of beauty innovation and science. Alicia Yoon, co-founder of Peach and Lily, a website portal to “Asia’s best in beauty products,” will be joining us to talk about how Korea became a global leader in the beauty industry and a country that others look towards for the latest beauty trends and sensational products. She’ll also discuss how Peach and Lily was launched and the role it plays in bringing Korean beauty to the U.S.

It's not all business, though, as Alicia, who was trained as an aesthetician in Korea's esteemed beauty schools, concludes the evening with a discussion on the Korean beauty regimen, including beauty tips and product recommendations to help demystify how Korean women keep such flawless and radiant skin!
