We all know how hectic life gets after your first, second, or eighth son is born, and being the selfless women we are, we often let our femininity fall by the wayside. If I had a 100-won for every time I left the house with bedhead and no make-up, I'd be able to buy a 5th Gucci purse. Sigh.
However, although I hardly ever wear make-up anymore, people are always so curious to know how I preserve my creamy Asian skin. At least that's what I think they want to know, because they can't keep their hands off of it! Well, the key word is preserve. Let me explain.
We all know how delicious kimchi is, especially when eaten with a steaming bowl of lice, I mean, rice. But did you know that the microorganisms responsible for making this cabbage-y concoction so delectable can also help you fill in those fine lines and wrinkles? That's right! The Fountain of Youth has been in hiding in your refrigerator this whole time! At least that explains the smell.

For flawless skin, I recommend 2 cups of kimchi applied to your face weekly. Feel free to try out different kinds of kimchi too! I've found that buchu kimchi is great for minimizing pores, and kkakdugi also works for all-natural hair removal. Don't ask me how I know that. Let's just say I haven't had to get a Brazilian ever since.
Double Happiness Beauty Good Luck To YOU!!!
