Skin Anniversary | 스킨 애니버셔리
The beauty industry is no longer about cosmetics—it is now being incorporated into cutting-edge technology. Spread out over a vast tract spanning 15,000 ㎡ in Paju, north of Seoul, Skin Anniversary is touted as the largest beauty management complex in Asia. Service begins with a scientific diagnosis of the patrons’ skin condition to determine suitable cure remedies, and a facial massage and other customized services are applied immediately based on the results. Following the skin care is a makeup session combined with hairstyle assistance, which will eventually help patrons achieve the look of Korean celebrities.
