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.

Tatcha AGELESS REVITALIZING NECK CREAM

Tatcha AGELESS REVITALIZING NECK CREAM


Grown to love this neck cream during quarantine when I'm wearing the masks and run around in the hospital. I would repurchase because of the high price tag, but this is very hydrating!

Biore UV Athlizm skin protect milk

Biore UV Athlizm skin protect milk

   




This is my go-to sunscreen during the summer of 2020 when we have to wear masks during this hot summer. Typical asian sunscreen when you have to shake the bottle. Perfect for oily skin all year round. No white cast, great for athletes.

Brow Microfilling Eyebrow Pen

Brow Microfilling Eyebrow Pen

I received this product complimentary from benefit and influenster for my honest opinion and I'm highly disappointment. Usually their products are hit or miss and this one is sadly a miss. I love doing my brows especially during quarantine with everyone wearing masks which allowing only the eyes and eyebrows to be visible. I loved that they sent me my color in deep brown, color range sucks by the way, currently with 4 shades. I prefer the goof proof over this pen. Yes, it's lightly pigmented so you can mess up and redraw it but I want PIGMENT, so this product isn't for me. Definitely not waterproof or smudge proof. Some days when I use it, I feel as if I have used it all up but then the next day, I see a little bit more. Not sure if I got a bad one but I prefer ABH brow wiz or benefit goof proof instead of this product.

Tarte sea mermaid skin hyaluronic H20 serum



The main ingredients include hyaluronic acid, algae, vitamin B5. This is a very watery toner-like serum. Best for the summer time while the weather is humid outside. My skin absorbs the product very quickly. Not repurchasing it because it's discontinued and not enough moisture for my skin.

Erborian Bamboo Matte Lotion


I've used the erborian ginseng lotion, aka toner, last year and then I went through a few other brand toners. Now after using this bamboo matte lotion or toner, I never knew why I used other brands. I miss this scent and refreshing feeling when applied onto the face. There's a bit of a powder on the bottom so the product must be shaken upon usage. I used this in the summertime hence the word "matte" in the name.

Moroccan Oil Treatment VS L'Oréal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Oil Deep Nourishing Treatment

I've used so many different brands of Hair Oil during the past 5 years because when I got closer and closer to my 30s, my hair started to get really dry. 

I have always heard good things about the Moroccan Oil but the price tag was a bit high for me in my mid twenties since just out of college and trying to pay off student college loans. So I found a dupe. The L'Oréal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Oil Deep Nourishing Treatment is the exact dupe of the Moroccan oil.



I used this oil for my hair right after I get out of the shower, for the next 24 hours, my hair is so soft and feels healthy.
