Korean Skincare Isn't Just for Your Face—These High-Performance Bodycare Products Will Elevate Your Routine

Aestura is one of my favorite Korean skincare brands, point-blank. The Atobarrier365 Moisturizer ($32)? A must-have. The Atobarrier365 Cream Mist ($24)? One of the most moisturizing face mists I've ever used. The A-CICA365 Cooling Relief Pads ($28)? My redness-reducing summer skincare staple.

It's no wonder I love this deeply moisturizing body lotion. It drenches my skin in moisture without leaving behind a heavy, greasy film thanks to microfine ceramides; exfoliating PHA; and a trio of vitamin E, panthenol, and glycerin. It's one of the rare body lotions that I can apply, immediately pull on a pair of jeans, and walk out the door. Yet the hydration stays locked in my skin all day.

Atopalm is a wildly popular skincare and bodycare brand that's known for its incredibly gentle, baby-friendly formulas. However, that won't stop me, a grown adult, from using its efficacious products. Why would it? They're safe for eczema, rosacea, heat rash, and all kinds of other sensitive-skin conditions.

This gel formula can be used as a lightweight hydrator and an after-sun product. It cools the skin on contact and treats it to soothing minerals from deep-sea water. It's the number one product I use to soothe sun-kissed skin all summer long.

Inspired by the skin-strengthening, barrier-supporting, and anti-stress power of flowers, Femmue infuses each products with botanicals. This rich body butter is no different. The indulgent texture melts into the skin, delivering intense moisture from sunflower-seed oil, shea butter, and cacao-seed butter. The soft citrus-floral scent is the cherry on top.

Here's another body lotion that I would bathe in if I could. It's enriched with a multiceramide complex that's composed of ceramides (duh), fatty acids, and cholesterol—three bioidentical components of the skin's natural moisture barrier. It's clinically proven to reduce skin sensitivity by up to 41% and delivers a whopping 100 hours of long-lasting hydration. And once again, it's so gentle it's even safe for newborns.

Longtake specializes in sensorial bodycare products. This silky, dense-foam bodywash is no exception. Key ingredients such as ceramides, cypress, and plant-derived cleansing agents strengthen the skin barrier; provide touchable softness; and dissolve dirt, oil, sweat, and sunscreen. Meanwhile, it's scented with deep-forest sandalwood—a warm, cozy, and earthy scent that will make your shower feel like a luxurious spa.

Medicube is a Korean skincare brand that needs no introduction. It's responsible for some of the most popular products on the internet, including the Zero Pore Pads ($19) and PDRN Pink Peptide Serum ($19). What many people don't realize is that it also produces a small selection of highly effective bodycare products, like this brightening and exfoliating body serum.

Powered by BHA, LHA, and PHA, it sloughs away dead skin and excess sebum to refine rough, bumpy body texture and dial up brightness. Kojic acid and turmeric intensify the effects, and hyaluronic acid and ceramides keep the skin soft, supple, and hydrated. It's a summer glow-up, bottled.

If "walnut-shell exfoliator" makes you cringe and think back to a time when harsh, abrasive face scrubs were all the rage, I get it. As someone born on the cusp of the millennial and Gen Z border, I do too. However, this Korean scrub is different. It's formulated with California walnut-shell powder for a moist micro-scrub foam that sloughs away dead skin and debris without causing redness or irritation. Translation? It's gentle. That, paired with a soft white musk scent, proves this is a grown-up, sophisticated version of the walnut scrubs of yesteryear.

Sluff is a new brand founded by a former beauty editor that's based on traditional Korean bathhouse treatments. Here's how it works. Once you're in the shower, lather up with the Pre-Sluff Bar to cleanse the skin and remove product buildup. Then grab the mitt and scrub to remove dead cells and reveal brighter, smoother, softer skin. The brand promises that the friction paired with the heat and moisture from the shower will make dead skin cells roll off. It's gross yet satisfying! Once you get out of the shower, apply the included Eucalyptus Body Lotion for long-lasting softness and hydration.

Some by Mi offers an incredibly wide selection of bodycare products that contain face-grade ingredients and target specific skin concerns. Take this anti-acne body cleanser, for instance. It's formulated with a trio of exfoliants: AHA, BHA, and PHA to clear away dead skin cells and unclog pores. An exclusive complex of centella asiatica, mugwort, and tea tree extract provides soothing relief for redness and inflammation. Last but not least, micro-bubbles absorb impurities and excess sebum from the pores. Body acne won't stand a chance.

Voesh combines the principles of lymphatic drainage with high-performance ingredients for soft, smooth, sculpted skin. Take the Tone'd Firming Body Massage Roller Crème, for example. The bumpy rollers on the bottom of the bottle massage the skin to improve the appearance of tone and cellulite. Then there's the cream itself. It's formulated with 2% caffeine and a potent peptide complex to support skin firmness on the neck, arms, waist, and legs. It's brilliant if you ask me.
