Korean skincare has seen a huge surge in popularity in recent years after becoming available in the UK, and for good reason. Featuring innovative formulas and ingredients, I’ve incorporated many Korean products into my skincare routine, including silky smooth SPF formulas, luxurious cleansing oils, plumping lip balms, and soothing milky toners.

Due to their popularity, K-beauty brands are now infiltrating the high street, and you'll find plenty of products stocked on the shelves of Boots, Superdrug, Space NK, and more. Boots even has a dedicated Korean skincare section and the popularity of K-Beauty speaks for itself: one Korean skincare product sells every 30 seconds at Boots, with K-Beauty representing over a tenth of everyday skin sales at Boots.

If you're new to K-beauty, and overwhelmed by the choice, or simply want to see what the hype is about, you need to know about this limited edition Boots Korean Beauty Skincare Box that has just dropped.

Inside is nine skin plumping products from top Korean beauty brand, eight of which are full-size.

Altogether, it features two cleansers, a toner, serum, moisturiser, eye cream, sheet mask and lip balm from some of Korea's biggest beauty exports, making it the perfect opportunity to try out new and exciting brands.

I've got my eye on the Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun : Rice + Probiotics SPF50 (£15.50), as it has been a must-have in my skincare routine for over a year. It was actually the first Korean suncream I tried, and has an elegant, fast-absorbing texture.

I have combination skin, and find around my nostrils on my cheeks are where I tend to have patches of dryness, despite an oily T-zone, so one of the trickiest parts for me is finding a sun cream that caters to both contrasting areas of skin. This ticks every box, it's rich enough to soothe and hydrate dryness, without leaving me so glowy it looks borderline greasy, and you can find my full review here.

I'm also a huge fan of the Laneige Lip Glowy Balm (£17.50). It's has the hydrating, moisturising benefits of a traditional balm, with the high-shine finish of a lip gloss, without the stickiness.

I love keeping it in my handbag for top-ups throughout the day when my lips are feeling dry and chapped, and the berry shade you'll find in this box, adds a very subtle flush of colour.

Other products inside include a luxurious Mixoon Bean Cleansing Oil for removing make-up, a skin plumping Biodance Bio Collagen Sheet Mask for a spot of TLC, an Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Moist Cream for tackling dehydration and the under-eye brightening Haru Haru Black Rice Bakuchiol Eye Cream.

There's a complete skincare routine in this box, for a reasonable £40, and the value for money speaks for itself. Just three of the products combined equal the total cost of this entire box, and with most of the items being full-sized, you're getting a lot of bang for your buck.
