Why:  When it comes to skincare secrets, we often find ourselves looking to two places: France and South Korea. This brand is a hybrid between Korean skincare technology and traditional ingredients, as well as French luxury and quality control standards. Their main selling point is how their products can take you one step closer to achieving what it calls “baby skin” — the soft, blemish-free radiance that everyone covets.

What You Should Try:  Undoubtedly, their BB crème. Erborian was the first-ever Korean beauty brand to launch a BB cream in Europe which is actually the best-selling BB cream there. The ginseng-infused BB cream has a velvety texture that applies smoothly, evens out your skin tone, has an SPF 20 and infuses a dash of brightness to your complexion. Retails at 80 QAR (15 ml)

For extremely dry skins: Try Bamboo Waterlock – Bamboo extract, a powerful hydrator that absorbs quickly into the skin, and results in a lasting glow. Retails at 210 QAR (100 ml).
