The Eastern philosophies of balance and harmony have long been reflected in the beauty rituals
and elixirs of Asian countries, most of which are created with herbs and natural ingredients. The
use of better, organic elements has, not surprisingly, resulted in the popular belief that Asian
women have some of the most beautiful, enviable skin around the world. But a variety of new
Eastern-inspired products allow women to enjoy those same benefits stateside. Herewith, our favorites.
