Unfortunately, too much humidity can turn your dry complexion into one that’s sweaty, shiny, and prone to breakouts.

In Korea, cosmetics have always been associated with making your skin good, and then glorifying it for the world to see. Having natural, healthy, soft skin has always been considered to be the most beautiful presentation because it represents traits that are important to Korean culture, such as modesty and prudence.
Brazilian beauty isn’t all that different from Korean standards. Cleanliness is a must, including well-manicured nails, depilating any body parts that may be exposed and glowing skin. When it comes to skincare, Brazilian beauty treatments are of extremely high quality. They often include ingredients found in super fruits located in the Brazilian Amazon. Particularly the maracuja and guarana fruits.

When you touch the surface of your skin, you may feel an oily, waxy substance produced by your body's sebaceous glands, commonly known as sebum. When you feel sebum on your skin, or a lack thereof, this is directly related to your skin type. Skin types are classified as normal skin, oily skin, dry skin, or combination skin. When you have dry skin, this means that your body isn’t producing its natural oils, which can result in uncomfortable symptoms.
