Topic 1. Men’s skin care products drive male cosmetics industry
Korean men more than ever are braving the makeup aisle for themselves, leading to a boom in the retail market for men’s cosmetics and skin care products.
“Flower men” are in right now, encouraging men to groom themselves. The term “flower men” refers to good-looking K-pop stars with feminine features.
Many men have adapted to the popular clich, “appearance is power.” Indeed streets are lined with makeup boutiques featuring handsome male celebrities posing as models with phrases like, “For men, the perfect skin serum to lighten up your day.”
More and more men are willing to drop a good deal of money to pamper their skin. In 2011, nearly 21 percent of global sales of men’s cosmetics, equivalent to $495.5 million, were sold in Korea, according to Euromonitor International, a global market research firm. The whopping sales figures made Korea the largest market by far for men’s cosmetics.
Although skin care and cosmetics are driving sales, most men are still squeamish about products that seem too feminine. Many skin care companies have come up with a variety of products with colors such as blue and black, with masculine names, packaged in containers reminiscent of cigar boxes and liquor bottles.
Staking territory in the burgeoning market is a popular cosmetics brand, Charmzone, which launched its line of skin care products, “Charm in Cell for Men.”
The Charm in Cell for Men line features a serum and a cream, both containing eight unique ingredients, including the company’s patented ingredient L-procera and 34 other ingredients that have been certified for their whitening and anti-wrinkle functions. L-procera is claimed to strengthen the skin, protecting it from moisture loss due to environmental factors.
Toco-vita C, an ingredient that combines the functions of vitamins C and E, is a product unique to Charmzone that brightens dull skin, according to the company. Maritime extracts of adenine improve the appearance of wrinkles while alpha-Bisabolol brightens skin tone and nourishes the skin layer.
“Most men are exposed to more UV rays, smoking, drinking and factors that contribute to the aging of skin,” said a manager at Charmzone. “This is a line of premium men’s beauty products to help men feel younger.
“It will be a great grooming tool for men.”

Topic2. Women look the oldest at 3:30 p.m., Wednesday: study
Women look their oldest at 3:30 p.m. every Wednesday, a new study claims.
The research conducted by a tanning brand St. Tropez found that accumulated work stress coupled with plunging energy levels and effects of weekend drinking starts to take its toll by mid-week, according to British media.
“It’s fascinating that 3:30 p.m. on a Wednesday is the time women look their oldest. Combine the highest stress levels of the week on a Wednesday with the natural mid-afternoon slump and it seems that’s why women can look older than their years,” St. Tropez’s skin expert Nichola Joss told the Telegraph.
However, only about 12 percent of women who participated in the study replied that Wednesday was the most stressful day of the week. Joss added that alcohol intake during the weekends can also strain the body, as the effects of drinking alcohol can take up to 72 hours to kick in.
She also said 37 percent of women have trouble sleeping on Monday nights, which can also have negative effect on their skin on Wednesday.
“The effects of a lack of sleep can take 48 hours to show on the face, so if many women sleep badly on Monday, they will look their oldest on Wednesday,” she said.
After the gloomy Wednesday, however, women are “most likely to feel amorous” on Thursday evening as the stress level begins to decrease, according to the study.
The study implied that their moods would continue to improve as the week progresses: 60 percent of woman said Friday was their happiest day of the week.
