Korean skincare isn’t just a trend; it’s a smarter system that puts barrier health first and saves your clients from the strip-and-fix cycle. We sit down with Angela Jia Kim—concert-pianist-turned-founder of Savor Beauty—to unpack the rituals behind glass skin, why hydration leads and exfoliation follows, and how clean, concentrated formulas can transform both outcomes and retail.

Angela shares the origin story that pushed her into formulation, then opens up her playbook: a five-step, thinnest-to-thickest routine that clients can actually follow, micro-exfoliation that renews without wrecking the barrier, and two hero ingredients every pro should master—niacinamide for brightening and resilience, and ginseng for circulation and collagen support. We dig into small-batch, nontoxic preservation, fragrance-free options for sensitive guests, and how fresh manufacturing elevates texture, absorption, and trust at the backbar.

Beyond skin, we get real about business. Angela’s take is unapologetic: sales keep the lights on, and selling is an act of service. She walks through her LOVER sales system, reframes marketing as a themed party your clients want to join, and offers practical ways to translate spa magic into daily rituals clients will repeat. If you’ve wondered how to add Korean skincare to your menu, elevate your retail mix, and talk about products without feeling pushy, you’ll leave with scripts, strategies, and a new lens on glow that lasts.
