“Although both K-beauty and J-beauty incorporate multi-step routines into their skincare regimens, they differ in complexity. J-beauty sets itself apart from the former embracing a more streamlined approach with fewer products, resembling Western beauty regimens,” says Shukla.
As per GlobalData’s survey, 66% of female consumers in India said that their choice of a beauty product is influenced how well it aligns with their time and money constraints.
