I went from an easy, hurried, low-maintenance facial cleaning ritual to trying out the Asian 10 step skincare routine. Being raised in New York City has damaged and polluted my skin; I'm now repairing and focusing on anti-aging.
I want to buy and use products from a broad number of brands, I didn't just want to stick with one brand, I shopped around and compared all. I will try to write reviews each month, one which will be a list my skincare routine products, sharing my experiences on each product.

Andalou Pumpkin Honey Mask



I brought this product from Whole Foods during its beauty sale off of recommendation from gothamista on youtube plus my skin needed a mask for autumn. My skin was having a temper tantrum with me. It has vitamin C, pumpkin, honey and glycolic acid. The first time I used it, my skin tingled, so I was thinking, ok maybe it's the acids and I'm new to it. So the first couple times I would leave it on for a few minutes and wash it off right away, and then the next couple of days I used a thinner layer. I don't see any difference in my skin but I do feel better after using it, so maybe the enzymes are "repairing" my skin.

COSRX Low Ph Good Morning Gel Cleanser

Everyone in the kbeauty world has been talking about this cleanser when it first came out. I have dry sensitive so it's hard to find a cleanser that doesn't break you out. A little bit goes a long way and I love to use this in the morning. It's refreshing and ok for my sensitive skin.

Erborian Black Cleansing Oil

Erborian Black Cleansing Oil



This product must be used on wet skin or with a bit of water because the texture is very thick. It does a good job in removing makeup and sunscreen, maybe because there's claims of charcoal in the ingredients? I don't have anything bad to say about this product.

Biore UV Athlizm skin protect essence sunscreen

  

I was so excited when Biore launched "Athlizm" for athletics or people that "sweat a lot" in the hot weathers. I used this watery based sunscreen during the humid summer and windy autumn seasons this year. I did like that there wasn't any white cast nor stickiness. I love the light glow after this lightweight application. There is a slight smell of alcohol for those that have smell sensitivities.

belif True Tincture Essence - Chamomile

belif True Tincture Essence - Chamomile

I love this product for the winter time. The texture is between an essence and an oil. This is very hydrating and moisturizing for my dry sensitive skin during the winter. I love it because my skin feels plump and I see a glow.

Hera True Wear Foundation



I got shade 23 Very Yellow and warm for me and I'm asian!!

But I use this with the Benefit Bo-ching concealer and it balances the color shade out.
I love the MUFE foundation but it breaks me out. Hera however doesn't break me out.

I love the Hera cushion foundations since I was in college and when I saw this foundation on the market, I ordered it. This product is great for dry skin and but so much with oily because it had limited oil control. I love the stay-on time and the finish.
