⏱ 1 min read
⚡ Quick answer: Using Camellia (Dongbaek) Oil in spring: the season brings rising UV and pollen-season reactivity, so what changes is texture, frequency and what you layer around it — not usually whether you use it at all.

Using Camellia (Dongbaek) Oil in spring: the season brings rising UV and pollen-season reactivity, so what changes is texture, frequency and what you layer around it — not usually whether you use it at all.

Dongbaek oil is genuine Korean heritage — Jeju's camellia groves supplied it long before anyone called it skincare. It is a rich, oleic oil, so it suits dry skin far better than oily skin.

What spring does to your skin

Fluctuating temperatures, pollen and sensitivity, and rising UV mean a gentle, barrier-supportive routine with reliable daily SPF.

How that changes Camellia (Dongbaek) Oil

Spring is when UV climbs while skin is still adjusting out of winter — keep the barrier steady and let sunscreen do the heavy lifting. Camellia (Dongbaek) Oil works on dryness & dehydration, damaged moisture barrier, loss of firmness & elasticity, and it is normally applied PM.

What to layer it with

🫒 Squalane🧱 Ceramides🌻 Vitamin E (Tocopherol)🥥 Shea Butter
