Skin Food

Your mother no doubt told you that eating fruits and veggies was good for your skin. She probably didn’t mean that you should apply them topically – but Skin Food wants you to try. The Korean cosmetics brand takes the concept of natural skin care to another level, harnessing the nutrients available in fruits, vegetables and other kitchen commodities (e.g. garlic, parsley, tomatoes, lettuce, and even cheese) to nourish skin. The products are moderately priced – both the Black Sugar Mask and the Potato Pack are RMB 165 – and all are sweet-smelling. Skin Food also offers a small range of hair masks and beauty accessories to give customers a comprehensive beauty regimen. Men can eat up all this wholesome goodness too, with products like Seaweed Toner (RMB 112) and Ginger Emulsion (RMB 112). Skin Food even has extra-gentle body washes for babies (RMB 140).
