The trending 'glass skin' look is perhaps why K-beauty is on every beauty fan's radar, but it's the quality of the products that keeps them buying.
And nobody knows this better than Korean skincare expert
Lauren first discovered K-beauty while working in the operating theatres at a busy hospital during Covid.
The Scots mum's skin "really suffered" from wearing PPE all day so when she stumbled across an advert for Korean products she decided to give them a go - and they have completely transformed her skin.
She told
"It's almost addictive, with so many brands and products to choose from – but with ingredients to treat so many skin problems, there really is a product for everyone."
And Lauren is now opening Scotland's first Korean skincare store, Wee Ghost Beauty, in Glasgow later this month.
She said: "In Scotland, we can have all four seasons in one day and our skin can really suffer. I believe Korean skincare is the answer we've all been looking for.

I want my customers – no matter what their budget is – to be able to buy from Wee Ghost Beauty. Quality skincare should be accessible to all, and I believe that is where Korean skincare stands out from the crowd.
"Even in the less expensive brands you will still find the best ingredients and a huge range of products, so it appeals to beginners and enthusiasts of all ages and budgets."
I let my kid start wearing make-up aged 3 - I've spent £1.5K on her 200 products & her skincare regime has 9 steps
Korean skincare places particular emphasis on hydration, skin barrier repair, brightening, and anti-ageing.
The use of microbiome and probiotic ingredients is also popular.
Korean skincare routines can be up to 10 steps and double cleansing is always a must.
And sought-after K-beauty products often contain innovative ingredients you might not have come across before, such as snail mucin - the mucus secreted by snails.
You might be put off by the idea, but lovers of this slimy skincare craze claim products containing snail mucin leave their face glowing and hydrated.
Other ingredients you might not have seen incorporated into skincare before include ginseng and bean essence.
Wee Ghost Beauty opens at 79 West Regent Street, Glasgow, on June 28

The Sun have reached out to ITV for comment. VILLA AT WAR It's been chaos in the villa the last 24 hours as Helena stormed off from the group after a savage Love Island game saw Harry finally admitting to snogging Yasmin. She told him bluntly: "I'm waiting for you to shut up and kiss me." But despite their snog, neither Harry nor Yasmin admitted to it when they returned from the Hideaway. That was until their actions were exposed in a brutal firepit game on Thursday night. Helena was left in shock as Yasmin revealed they'd kissed not once, but three times. And while Harry smirked, the stunning air hostess was backed by co-star Megan. 'You're a liar,' Megan shouted across the firepit to Harry, adding: 'You owe it to Helena to be f****** honest, you p****. 'She's sat there watching you go into the Hideaway, you kissed her three times and then come out and go 'Oh no, I didn't do anything.'' Meg finished by telling Harry: 'Grow a pair of b******* mate, honestly, grow the f*** up.' After her sweary rant at the scandalous star, Helena got up and stormed off from the group as Remell said: 'I think we should wrap it up here.' While Helena could be seen storming off as Harry showed no sign of remorse. There were more fireworks earlier in the game when it was revealed Yasmin said she'd like Harry to "tip her upside down". Elsewhere, Conor read out a comment from Dejon that ruffled Meg's feathers. Dejon previously told the boys about Yasmin: "She's never orgasmed, so if I give her her first orgasm, then she'll fall in love." After Conor read out the comment, Yasmin said to the group: "I mean, if you can make me orgasm, fair play. I probably will fall in love." Things go from bad to worse when Remell read out a remark that Harry made to the boys about wanting to kiss Yasmin. Helena yelled: "What the f*** is going on here?" Megan exclaimed: "He tells you f*** all and that's why, you need to find out and hear it for yourself."
