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.

SokoGlam 7 day mask challenge - Review on 7 masks

This was a 7 Day Challenge activity that SokoGlam suggested and it was fun considering that I use sheet mask only twice a week. After 7 days of trying this method out, my skin was much smoother and moisturized.


Day 1 was the Foodaholic Red Ginseng. The scent is very strong for my nose. Anti-aging, my skin did look brighten the next morning. Very snug but I had to strength it out to fit my face. I could only last 10 minutes with this mask before giving up.
 

  
 Day 2 was Nature Republic's Acai Berry sheet mask. This mask fits my face with more room left.  Very moisturizing and filled with essence. I was so happy with the results the next month. This for my favorite of the 7.
  


  


Day 3 - Purederm Age Defying Collagen Masque - suppose to hydrate and get rid of aging. Dries quickly.

  

  
Day 4 - Hanaka Aloe Vera Hyaluronic Acid - it's suppose to be moisturizing and reduce redness and inflammation.  It did reduce my redness and inflammation from the weather outside.
  

  

  

  


Day 5 - TonyMoly Nutra Energy Mask Sheet - energize and moisturize the skin.
Very moisturizing first, but dries very quickly. The essence got into my eye by accident, but the burning sensation was not a happy few minutes.



Day 6 - Face Q Luffa Oil Control Mask - suppose to reduce oil and pores. Good for people with oily skin; didn't do much for me.

  

  

 Day 7 - Beauty Friends II - Kiwi - moisturizing and reduce redness. This sheet mask is great for beginners and young skin, but this wasn't for me and it dries out very quickly. I don't think it absorbed much.

General Haul #1 - Soko Glam Haul

Korean Skincare Newbie - 1st Order

I recently discovered that Korean Skincare technology industry is about 10 years more advantage than American markets. So I did some research checking out some bloggers and noticed that the Korean skincare industry try to use natural and organic ingredients in their products. You can hear stuff such as bee venom and snail cream, which is scary, but results are pretty good to those that have tried the skincare. I have been eyeing the cushion foundation and the snail cream and luckily, Soko Glam had some items on sale. So I decided to give it a try and ordered from SokoGlam to be safe. Below is what came in the mail via USPS Priority 2-Day Mail. Free shipping if you buy a certain amount.





  1. TONYMOLY Strawberry Seed 3-Step Nose Pack - Runaway Strawberry Seeds 3-Step Nose Pack
  2. MISSHA Cell Renew Snail Cream
  3. IOPE Air Cushion Sunblock XP [SPF 50+/PA+++] - N23 - Natural Beige + Refill
  4. The free sample was the SKINFOOD black sugar honey mask washoff.


I like the that Soko Glam gave a sample with my order because it is a way to expose you to more items out there. I will write follow up reviews as I start to use these products.
