Mugyo-dong facial for dry, red skin from sunny dog walks: Beautae

Walking my dog every day is the happiest part of my day, but all that time in the sun left me worrying about dry, red skin. So I went to Beautae Esthetic (뷰태에스테틱), a facial spot in Jongno, for a customized treatment. I'll cover the atmosphere inside, the programs, the events and prices, and my before and after results ♡

Beautae Esthetic is right by Cheonggyecheon stream and the Dadong Mugyo-dong food street, so it's nice for a stroll before or after your treatment. It's also close to City Hall Station and Gwanghwamun Station, which makes public transport easy.

There's a eye-catching Texas pub on the ground floor of Hyoryeong Building, so it was easy to find.

There's parking inside the building too, so driving there is convenient.

The building has an elevator, so wheelchairs and strollers are no problem.

What are Beautae Esthetic's interior and treatment rooms like?

The inside is clean and bright, and there's a skin diagnosis device so you can check your skin condition in detail.

The treatment rooms are privately separated, so you can be cared for in quiet. There are several beds, with up to 3 people treated at once, so it also works as a date for friends, family or couples.

There are personal lockers and a powder area too, so you can get ready comfortably before and after.

Which facial program suits dehydrated, red skin?

First I filled out a consultation sheet noting my current skin concerns. My skin is thin and sensitive, and we talked mostly about my dryness, redness and daily habits.

The programs include plant exosome, PDRN, multi-booster, DMTS, Speculution, LDM water-drop lifting and also contour care, among others. You pick according to your concerns and the direction you want, so the care is tailored to you.

For my dry, red skin and for hydration and glow, I chose the Premium Booster, which contains plant exosome, NMN and EGF peptide.

How does Beautae Esthetic's July Happy Box event work?

This July, Beautae Esthetic is running its Happy Box event, which they hold only once a year.

You draw one popular program at random from ₩1,500,000, ₩2,200,000 and ₩2,700,000 options and get it for ₩990,000. It's planned to run until the end of July, but they say it may end early once the prepared boxes are all gone.

Visiting customers pick from the displayed boxes one by one, so only as many people can join as there are boxes left. If you're interested, it's probably worth hurrying a little.

There are also a receipt review event and a referral event. When you write a review, both the person who referred and the person referred get extra sessions, which should help regular visitors. There's also a department store gift certificate event based on the cumulative number of people you refer.

Premium Booster facial: treatment steps and how long it takes

The Premium Booster at Beautae Esthetic took about 1 hour, in this order: cleansing, LDM water-drop ultrasound, Microjection device care, a soothing calming mask, and moisturizing cream. It starts with cleansing to remove impurities and dead skin cells. The booster used today was the blue one.

LDM water-drop ultrasound step

First came LDM water-drop ultrasound. It fills the skin deep down with moisture and helps firm up the skin barrier, focusing on easing my dryness and redness.

Microjection device step

Next was Microjection. Using microcurrent, it helped absorb exosome and hyaluronic acid ampoules into the skin. By helping the active ingredients reach deep inside, it took care of hydration, skin barrier recovery, inner dryness, redness, pores and skin texture all together.

Soothing calming mask and moisturizing finish

Last was a water-packed soothing calming mask to settle my skin. It's a sheet soaked with plenty of essence without a single drop of water added, so they say the moisture lasts long after the treatment. It finished with moisturizing cream. The total time was about an hour.

Before and after: what happened to the dryness and redness?

Comparing before and after the Premium Booster at Beautae Esthetic, first of all there was a glossy glow ❤️ My skin looked shinier and noticeably smoother.

My face had been red from tightness, and it toned up, with a moist, subtle water-glow that made my skin texture look clearer too. It really seems that what home care can't fill in needs a professional's touch.

Even after a single session, my skin condition felt much more comfortable. If you want to care for inner dryness, skin barrier, redness and glow together, it might be worth choosing a program for your own concerns at Beautae Esthetic, the Jongno skin care spot.
