Expiration date and manufacturing date?
Korean cosmetics are known for their quality and effectiveness, and many consumers turn to them for their beauty needs. One interesting aspect of Korean cosmetics is that they use the manufacturing date rather than the expiration date on their packaging. This means that consumers should focus on the ‘제조’ or ‘사용기한’ to get an idea of how long their product will be good for. The ‘까지’ on the packaging indicates the expiration date, but it is not always clearly marked. Some cosmetics will have both the manufacturing date and the expiration date, but many will just have the manufacturing date. Knowing when your product was made can help you ensure that you are using it within its intended shelf life.
제조: Manufacturing Date
까지: Expiration Date
사용기한: Use Periods
In addition, Koreans write dates in the following format: YYYY/MM/DD.
What is the shelf life of my product?
All beauty products need to be used by a certain period. This is known as the 'period after opening' and can be easily identified by the PAO symbol. The symbol can be recognised as the shape of an opened jar, and will have a number inside; 9M will indicate 9 months, 12M is 12 months, and 36M is 36 months. Once opened the product should be used in this period, as after this time the quality of the product will deteriorate.
How do I identify the ingredients in my skincare?
The key to understanding your skincare ingredients is to look at the label and read it carefully. All ingredients are listed in descending order, starting with the largest amount used in the product (usually water). This means that the first ingredient listed is the one used in the largest quantity, and the last ingredient listed is the one used in the smallest quantity. The order is important because you want to make sure that the active ingredients are present in sufficient quantities to be effective.
When it comes to the ingredients in skincare products, not all are created equal. Some are present in high concentrations, while others are only needed in small amounts. For example, active ingredients such as acids, and antioxidants typically make up around 10–20% of a product's formula. On the other hand, some active ingredients need to be present at just 0.5–1% in order to work effectively. This means that a small amount of these active ingredients can have a big impact on the overall effectiveness of the product. And because they are used in such small concentrations, they are typically listed at the very end of the ingredient list. So next time you're looking at the ingredients in your skincare products, be sure to take note of how much of each active ingredient is being used.

Why should I always wear sunscreen?
When it comes to skin care, sunscreen is one of the most important products you can use. The sun's UV rays can cause serious damage to your skin, leading to wrinkles, sunspots, and even skin cancer. That's why it's important to use sunscreen every day, even when you're not planning to spend time in the sun. It's also important to apply sunscreen when you know that you'll be exposed to the sun's rays, even if you're indoors. For example, if you're sitting near a window or driving your car, sunscreen can help protect your skin from UVA and UVB rays.
The best time to apply sunscreen is after your moisturizer but before you put on makeup or any other skin care product. Make sure to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 and reapply it every two hours if you're going to be in the sun for an extended period of time. This will help protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays and keep it looking its best for years to come.
