What sparked your decision to start up your box and how did you get started?
It started a while ago when I suffered from really bad acne and felt like I tried every product available in the UK, with no luck! I heard some good things about Korean skincare and decided to try this for myself, I really got into some amazing Korean skincare products and they worked wonders for my skin. They were such brilliant quality, totally unique and so much fun - I was hooked. It turns out South Korea has one of the most progressive and exciting cosmetics industries in the world.... they are decades ahead of the UK for skincare goodies!
I spent some time trying to find other brands and products from Korea but it turns out there's really not much available to us in the UK.
Ever the impatient little skincare fiend, I set about trying to solve this problem with my partner, Phil. Cue Lengbox! We decided to design and curate our Lengboxes as a way for you to discover and experience the most innovative and cutest Korean beauty products there is.
We wanted to give you the opportunity to fall in love with Asian beauty and skincare products, the same as I did.
