As the cold arrives, our skin needs more than just a light moisturizer. It requires something deeper and more nourishing, something that not only hydrates but also strengthens the protective barrier at its roots. This is where the magical world of Beauty of Joseon comes in!
This brand draws inspiration from the skincare rituals of noble ladies of the Joseon dynasty (ancient Korea) and combines the power of ancient Hanbang (traditional Korean herbal medicine) with modern, gentle formulas.
Today, we take a look into this exclusive philosophy: we explore what Hanbang is and how Beauty of Joseon helps preserve your skin’s elasticity and radiance with rich, pure ingredients even on the coldest winter days!
What is Hanbang, and why is Beauty of Joseon ideal for winter?
Hanbang (in Hangul: 한방) is traditional Korean medicine. In skincare, this means the formulas are based on fundamental herbs that target the skin’s internal balance (the "qi"), not just surface symptoms.
In winter, our skin suffers from an energy deficit (poor circulation, dull complexion) and a damaged barrier. Hanbang ingredients (especially ginseng and honey) nourish, warm, and strengthen, which is lifesaving in winter!
The pillars of Beauty of Joseon: The 3 Hanbang heroes of the winter routine
The brand’s products are all built around the most important Korean herbs, which show their true power in winter:
1. Ginseng – The energy source ⚡
- What does it do? Ginseng is the secret to longevity, a true anti-aging powerhouse. It boosts circulation (great for dull winter skin!), regenerates, and firms.
- Winter benefit: Replenishes the skin’s energy-deficient "qi".
2. Rice Water – Deep hydration 🍚
- What does it do? Rice water (or rice bran) is packed with amino acids and vitamin E. It softens, hydrates, and fades pigmentation spots.
- Winter benefit: Its rich, nourishing ingredients are ideal for locking in moisture and treating dry skin.
3. Propolis and Honey – The healing balm 🍯
- What does it do? Propolis has strong anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects. Honey provides long-lasting nourishment and protects the skin from drying out.
- Winter benefit: Helps soothe irritation and redness caused by wind and heating.
Beauty of Joseon winter routine step-by-step (For firm skin)

1. Cleansing: Green Plum Refreshing Cleanser
- A gentle gel cleanser that cleanses with the power of green plum without damaging the skin barrier.

- This product is a blend of toner and essence. The 80% ginseng water instantly nourishes and awakens skin tired from the cold, preparing it for serum.
3. Serum: Glow Serum (Propolis + Niacinamide)
- This serum attacks on two fronts: Propolis heals any winter breakouts, while Niacinamide helps regulate sebum production and refines pores while strengthening the barrier.
4. Cream: Dynasty Cream or Red Bean Water Gel
- The final layer! Dynasty Cream is rich and nourishing, perfect for nighttime. If your skin is combination, the lighter Red Bean Water Gel is also a great choice.
5. Sun Protection: Relief Sun SPF50+ PA++++ ☀️
This product is the brand’s icon. A super lightweight, rice water-based sunscreen that’s essential even in winter but doesn’t leave a greasy feeling. Protection against collagen breakdown!
