Long time, no personal posts; me yesterday hanging out with my nephew (sisters bearded dragon).
Still alive, by some miracle.
✨✨Splurge-worthy Korean Skincare Products ✨✨
Or, it’s my birthday and I deserve to treat myself
Hello everyone I’m back from a long hiatus because I finally have time and energy to post. It’s also my birthday today (29/11).
People are always talking about treating yourself to a new coat or a manicure whenever you feel like it. So, here are my picks for the best Korean skincare products if you want to treat yourself.
Belif: The True Cream Aqua Bomb
Pictured: So I don’t really own one of these because it’s sort of out of my budget. I wish I did though.
Alright a high price tag may not always be justified (see: La Mer), but this moisturiser from Belif has an anti-oxidant formula. That means it perfect for calming your skin and keeping it soft and radiant. It’s also suitable for most skin types.
They say that it could be used as an overnight sleeping mask and a makeup primer. I love multipurpose products that are worth the money.
Beauty of Joseon: Dynasty Cream
Pictured: This is very pretty packaging. (From Soko Glam).
Can I just say how cool the name is? And the glass packaging. This is why presentation is so important for branding.
It contains ingredients from traditional Korean medicine such as ginseng, which helps brighten skin. I would recommend this for people with dry skin but not for those with sensitive skin.
Make P:rem: Safe Me Relief Moisture Green Ampoule
People shouldn’t spend a lot of money on cleansers or makeup remover, but the one thing it’s alright to splurge on is serums or ampoules. Things that warrant the price.
Make P:rem’s Safe Me line is well-marketed, but it works. The above ampoule works for oily, sensitive or acne-prone skin types and contains 18 ingredients. It soothes and moisturizes at the same time.
Innisfree: Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask
I think I’ll be recommending masks in this post, because they are just so nice-feeling and gives your skin that extra push it needs to be dewy and even. It’s the perfect thing to treat yourself with.
I’m a huge fan of clay masks in general as my skin gets super oily at times. This one from cult favourite Innisfree detoxifies skin and helps with calming acne. It also comes in a foamy mousse form. I’ve recommended it a few times here on this blog as it is very good for your skin.
Dr. Jart+ Lover Rubber Masks
These are super fun rubber masks (each color has a different property) that are good for every skin type. Normally I’m not a fan of sheet masks, but I’ll make an exception for this.
I would recommend the Hydration Lover, which is perfect for a self-care day. One mask is pricier than your average Korean sheet mask, but it is really effective.
Bonus: Brands that are worth your hard-earned money
- Cosrx (fantastic for acne-prone skin)
- Skinfood (try the Egg White Pore Mask)
- Sulwhasoo(a brand on the higher end of the spectrum with products made from the best ingredients)
I might add some more to this list later. Stay tuned for my next post!
