Minimalist K-beauty: Pyunkang Yul Moisture Ampoule + Mist Toner reviews

Are chemical ingredients and sunscreens toxic? Do mineral oil and silicones really clog pores and cause acne? The answers are no, and here’s why.

It’s been almost 5 months since my last skincare empties post, so you can imagine the mountain of trash products that I have piled up dying to be reviewed. So let’s not waste anytime and get started!

I usually take my sweet time with reviews, but I was so excited after using the new Althea Real Fresh Skin Detoxers that I had to share my thoughts before their official release.

Is it painful? Is it worth it? I’m sharing all the details today in my review.

After years of trial and error, I’ve found that the most effective method of removing sebaceous filaments isn’t using a specific product, but using the right type of products regularly in your routine.

You can skip toners, serums, or even moisturizers but sunscreen is a must-have. So how do you find the right sunscreen for your skin type or lifestyle?

For me a good skincare routine should focus on quality, not quantity. So when I discovered the Japanese brand Tunemakers, I was immediately intrigued by their system.

At this point I think most of us have our skincare routine figured out: cleanse → tone → serum → moisturize with a cream/gel/oil → spf in the morning. So where do lotions/emulsions fit in the routine?

Slap on a mask, wait, remove it, and voila! Softer/brighter/smoother/firmer skin! It doesn’t get easier then this, so how could we possibly be doing it wrong?

Vitamin C is an incredibly powerful skincare ingredient, yet there are so many different forms. Ascorbic acid, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, sodium ascorbyl phosphate…what’s the difference, and which one should you choose?

Featuring some of my recent discoveries that I’ve been enjoying for this warmer weather!

Even with all the benefits and convenience of online shopping, there are times when it just makes more sense to shop in person.
