Unique tour is learning to make your own cosmetics at SKYLAKE 하늘 호수 South Korea

 

SKYLAKE is located in Dongseong-ro, which is known as the cultural and industrial center of Daegu. This is a cosmetic cafe where visitors can make cosmetic products based on traditional Korean medicine and get close to nature.

This place is very popular with people interested in making their own cosmetics (reservation required). Classes are held on the top floor of the cafe. Participants can wear yellow clay bandanas and aprons. Many people like these clothes because they are worn in the Korean drama "Daejanggeum (A Jewel in the Palace)" which is popular around the world. 

Participants can create a pack of masks to refresh their skin, which is easily irritated by changing seasons. On the table there are electronic scales, measuring cups, pipettes, and several other tools used when making masks. To make a mask, you must first make the essence. After you put the essence in the bag containing the sheet mask, you will create your own handmade mask pack.

Participants receive assistance from instructors and demonstration vieos. In class, one team consists of two people. Everyone is allowed to bring two packs of masks and 20ml of water. First, the traditional Korean medicinal water mixture is poured into a bowl. This water is also said to be contained in all SKYLAKE cosmetic products. This water contains 18 ingredients that are distilled and produced on-site. 

The water replaces pure water added to other brands of cosmetics and contains about 80% of the essence made. The ingredients that are then added are galactomyces, which comes from yeast, hyaluronic acid, which helps regeneration, as well as glycerin, aloe and two or three natural oils. The ingredients that are mixed turn into a transparent and thick essence like a gel. The essence is carefully placed into the bag with the mask sheet inside. The air in the bag is expelled, and a mask package is created.

Traditional Korean medicinal cosmetics are made with care and time, At SKYLAKE, creating mask packs isn't the only thing visitors can do. Visitors also learned how to make Korean traditional medicinal soap, knotweed shampoo, and cooling spray. The coolant spray here is new. This thing uses menthol and mint to relax tense muscles. Many people like this program because they can make a spray that refreshes their mind.

After the program is finished and while waiting for the soap to freeze in the refrigerator, visitors can drink tea. This activity is included in the price and tea is served in front of a comfortable sofa. It's a great break time with homemade herbal teas. SKYLAKE has ginger tea, which increases body temperature, and also cnidium tea, angelica root tea and adzuki bean tea, which are said to be effective in flushing out toxins.
