It is not a secret that Korea is known for two things: K-pop and high-quality beauty products. The idols you love watching perform on stage are also the ones who promote some of the most popular cosmetic and skincare brands in Korea.

On one of their live broadcasts on the VLIVE app, Nayeon revealed that part of her nightly skincare regimen is washing her face four times with different facial cleansers.

The lead vocalist said she uses Shiseido Fitit Perfect Whip Cleansing Foam for her third cleanse..
Wanna One's Clay Mask Collection
Innisfree collaborated with Wanna One in 2017 to create the Innisfree Volcanic Color Clay Mask Collection, which comes in different colors and ingredients.

Minhyuk tried to hide it, but his fans found out the toner that he used during his V Live session, where he showed his full skincare routine.

It doesn't hurt that it comes with a poster of the boys as well!
