There is no denying that Korea is the new global trendsetters not only for pop culture, but also for beauty, wellness and skin care. This Korean craze has impacted not only cultures but also economies of the world.
For a country that used to rely on its electronic exports and other technological industry, it now has an enormous supply of sheet masks, BB creams, essences and face mask and a wide array of beauty products that the world is raving about.
Needless to say that our Asian neighbor has amusingly invaded even our vanities, by introducing us the K-pop fever and then these aesthetic commodities that have toppled expensive, ritzy and elegant wares from the western part of the globe.
Although France is considered the global leader in beauty, but now all eyes are on Korea.
However, this vibrant and chic Korean look or whatever style that may be comes with a price.
Looking young and attractive most of the time is costly, sometimes painful.
A study made in the US revealed that an average woman would spend at least United States $15,000 for cosmetics and other beauty products in her life. And there are those who would willingly spend a fortune on plastic surgery, and other life-threatening procedures just to achieve that attractive perfection.
And while people all over the world are obsessed with the K-POP chic, not too many know that the Koreans themselves are gripped with perfecting their complexion, facial qualities and total physique, sometimes without so much thinking about their wellness.
Several districts in Seoul are teeming with clinics offering plastic surgery and related services. And on a typical day, these clinics are packed with anonymous faces of teenagers, young professionals and even elderlies who want to achieve v-shaped jaws, double eyelids and dimpled smiles for a younger-looking face.
But there are incidents when surgeries performed by some of the clinics do not always live up to patients’ expectations and the quest for beauty and profits is putting lives at risk.
This is one of the reasons that prompted and inspired Youn Soo-Kim, a local inventor whose discovery called “Misso,” impressed the Korean president, earning him citations not only from the government but from various sectors in the country and abroad; this product would also revolutionized the business and art of beauty that is affordable, achievable, safe and most of all, healthy.
Misso in Korean means smile, but in Chinese characters, “Mi” means beauty while “So” stands for young girl. If you’re thinking Misso for a makeup or some sort of cosmetics, you are wrong.
Misso is a juice extractor, multipurpose food processor, and an oil extractor at the time. When Kim started to put his work together, he was thinking of a device or tool that can promote good health but at the same time, preserve one’s glow without having to complicate everything. It aims to give every consumer a lifestyle built on wellness.
Initially, the invention’s oil-extraction feature was an optional attachment but after discovering the wonders of seed oil in one’s quest for beauty and wellness, Kim made another machine that focuses on oil extraction, making the oil extracts, 100-percent pure, non-toxic, organic, edible and skin friendly.
The result was nothing short of magical. The new invention can extract 50-percent oil from any small seed, and can produce 120 ml of oil in just five minutes of extraction or less. The use of natural alternatives had become important and relevant today, especially to those who are very conscious of their health, as it opposes the negative effects of chemical-based products.
Research has found that seed oils are more than just natural alternatives to beauty products. White sesame seeds, for example, are proven to be helpful in reducing wrinkles, whitening underarms and relieving eczema and psoriasis. Aside from that, it also has the potential to lower blood cholesterol, cure sleeping disorders and aid digestion. Flaxseeds can reduce cellulites and tighten the skin while also being able to help in menopausal symptoms and menstrual cramps. Black sesame seeds give a youthful glow and have the power to prevent cancer and relieve arthritis. Chia seeds are ideal natural moisturizers, which helps oily skin and clogged pores. It is also high in omega-3, which can help improve brain function.
Seed oil extracts may also be used as a cooking element. It may be used as alternatives to the usual cooking oils, as extenders in baking, or as flavors in condiments and sauces. This makes the seed oil versatile and very useful essential that strikes beauty, wellness and flavor. Commercially produced seed-oil extracts are far from affordable. This fact makes personal seed-oil extractors a home essential. Some brands from countries around the globe have produced their own extractors the new Misso s2o Seed-to-Oil Wonder Extractor, a Korean electronic brand, promises an efficient oil extractor that can extract up to 50 percent of oil from any small seed.
The brand also introduces the concept of “superseeds,” where consumers may experiment with their own mix of seeds to produce various mixtures of seed-oil extracts not available in any market today. As the winner of the Korean Superb Brand Award for 2017, Misso s2o Seed-to-Oil Wonder Extractor guarantees an oil extractor that’s safe, durable and easy to use.
Since it was made known to Korean consumers, the demand for it was enormous, causing a shift from these invasive, costly beauty regimens to Misso-centric craze.
Older women in Korea have resorted to their social platforms, out of their awe and appreciation, to tell everyone how effective Misso is. Men, on the other hand, testify to the rejuvenating wonders of oil extracted through Misso.
It works very simple, there is no need for complicated use or application. The extracted seed oils from white or black sesame, chia, flax and other seeds can either be applied on one’s face by simply rubbing it for about a minute or so. The intended results can be felt or seen after about two weeks.
Now, if one wants to address skin problems, stomach problems, heart ailments, and hyper tension, Kim recommends users to take a small spoon of oil in the morning and one in the evening every day.
The good news is Misso is now in the country and Filipinos can now experience the wonders and benefits of this remarkable invention from Korea. The inventor himself dares everyone to not just try Misso but make it a part of the daily life and be “Missofied”.
