5 Travel Destinations for Beauty Lovers

Traveling hits differently when you love all things beauty. You have a clear agenda that not many people would understand. If you’re looking for a beauty-related travel adventure, you’ve come to the right place. It doesn’t matter if you’re adventuring solo or going with friends – these travel destinations guarantee sights, sounds, fun, and even shopping.

The top-of-mind destination for any beauty lover is Seoul. South Korea has established itself as a leader in the beauty world, thanks to its highly successful K-beauty industry. In the shopping district of Myeongdong alone, you will find alleys of cult favorites. It’s a shopper’s paradise where you can find everything from the most beloved brands to irresistible packages and deals on sheet masks and serums. Pack light so you can stuff your suitcase with your K-beauty haul.

When you’re not shopping ‘til you drop, why not take in Seoul’s vibrant landscape? Gorgeous tree-lined photos on Nami Island? Yes, please. You could also sit in a café and people-watch. A shot of espresso every time someone with glass skin walks by? Sounds like a plan.

Japan’s beauty roots go deep. Known for ancient remedies and affinity for skin care, the Japanese have a lot to offer in the beauty department. The country’s many spas, treatments, and beauty brands are proof. Stock up on cleansers, essences, and moisturizers to keep your skin supple and glowing. These are must-have products for any beauty lover and they’re all here. Shibuya, Tokyo’s shopping district, is dotted with J-beauty stores.

Looking to explore something else outside shopping? Visit a beauty spa for a one-of-a-kind facial treatment or an onsen for a relaxing thermal bath in a tranquil Japanese garden.

If you’re planning a beauty-themed trip, why not go straight to the cradle? The City of Lights is a fashion and beauty capital. Visitors who wish to emulate Parisian je ne sais quoi can browse aisles upon aisles of beauty products that can help achieve this. Bite into a croissant, sip a café au lait in the morning, and then saunter to the Avenue desChamps-Élysées to visit some of the most beloved designer and beauty brands around the world. Oui!

One of Asia’s beauty meccas, Bangkok is known for affordable shopping and beauty treatments. Shoppers love its vibrant shopping scene. You can get great bargains at its well-known markets, brimming with fashion and beauty finds. 

Explore Chatuchak Weekend Market, a sprawling trove of affordable bath and body products, accessories, clothes, and even homewares. Tap into Bangkok’s more hip side and go to Thonglor, where vintage shops and independent brands await. Malls like Icon Siam, Siam Paragon, and Platinum are worth the visit. Make sure to go early so you have more time to explore.

As one of the most popular travel destinations in the world, there’s no shortage of eye candy here, either. Stop by a temple for a moment of culture – and silence – amid the bustle.

Head up north to Baguio City to explore one of the best tourist spots the Philippines has to offer. It has a naturally cool climate that can do wonders for your skin – constraining blood vessels and calming down inflammation for a bright, healthy, and selfie-ready face. Its bustling arts and creative scene also produces handcrafted and artisanal products to satisfy your beauty needs. If you’re looking for bargains, head to an ukay-ukay for clothes, bags, and shoes to complement your look.

No matter which city you decide to explore, it's essential to stay safe, fresh, and germ-free. Pack some Lifebuoy Antibacterial Body Wash with Multivitamins+ Total 10 in travel-friendly containers to benefit from its protection anywhere in the world. Meanwhile, keep your hands clean as you commute, handle cash and credit cards, and explore your favorite travel destinations with alcohol or hand sanitizer.
