Face-ing Reality in Seoul
A few weeks ago, I wrote about my day trip in Seoul.
A friend from Singapore told me to stock up on face masks in Korea, because it’s much cheaper than Singapore.
I’m not really the face mask type of girl (a scrub a few times a week, daily showers, and moisturizer are as far as I usually get).
Since it was the one thing she mentioned about Seoul out of a million possible things, I decided to keep my eyes peeled for the masks. Not to mention that Korean women have beautiful, clear, porcelain-like skin. They must be doing something right!
One of the stops on my tour was Namdaemun Market. I only had about 30 minutes to walk around, but within a few minutes, I noticed a face mask display and went to take a peek. The sign said one mask for 1,000 won, which is basically $1 USD.
There was something else written, but of course I couldn’t understand. A face mask for $1 USD is a wonderful price, especially with such a large variety to choose from. I decided to buy ten. Not because I wanted ten, but more because I thought some of the “flavors” were so intriguing.
When I went in to pay, there seems to have been a “Buy 1, Get 1 Free” sale, so I ended up spending $5 USD for ten masks.

It’s been about a month, and I tried a “Green Tea” flavor, but here are the rest I’ve got waiting in queue!
(Yes! SNAIL – couldn’t resist!)
So many options!
