5 drinks Koreans consume to delay ageing

Antioxidant power: Every drink above has antioxidants in different forms – green tea, barley tea, fruit bioflavonoids, which help reduce oxidative stress, a major cause of ageing.

Gut-health support: Many of these drinks include probiotics or fibre that aid digestion. Good gut = better nutrient absorption = healthier skin.

Hydration matters: Clear, plump, glowing skin is always about hydration. These teas are a great (and tastier) way to stay hydrated without overloading on sugars or caffeine.

Vitamin-packed: From C-heavy yuja to plum cheong, these drinks give your skin the building blocks it needs to maintain collagen and fight pigmentation.

How to start your Korean drink glow-up

Pick one you’re curious about, start small.

Sip it daily, replace one drink (like coffee or sugary soda) every morning or afternoon with your new beauty beverage.

Add a glass of water in between, hydration bonus.

Pair with a clean diet and sunscreen, because beauty is a total package – inside and out.

Bonus points if you do it with a friend. Sharing green tea over gossip? Zero calories, max glow.
