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.

Sunday Riley Essence Pink Drink

 

I've been waiting to get this product for so long so my expectations were a bit high. I'm used to korean essences so I was surprised to see it as spray form. This product has a nice spray output and it keeps my skin hydrated right after I take a shower or wash my face. This mist might be a bit harsh for daily pick me ups if your skin is feeling dry throughout the day. In my opinion, I wouldn't repurchase.

JVN Air Dry Cream

 I never thought I would enjoy applying lightweight cream instead of oil in my fine hair. This cooler temperature seasons are the perfect time to have this product in your head. The scent smells divine and it doesn't linger. A little goes a long way. This product allows me to survive the second hair day and I never do that. Anything that protects my hair through humidity and UV damage, I'm a fan of.

Fenty Pro Filt'r Hydrating Longwear Foundation 200

 

I love to apply this product with my fingertips when I'm on the go and it gives me a great pick up. But for the summertime and the warmer temps, this product is a bit thick and heavy. As I grew to dislike heavy foundations as I reach the ripe to the age of 35, I tend to gravitate towards tinted moisturizers and BB or cc creams.  Great coverage but a pass for me.

ELEMIS Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Wash

 

Very creamy and luxurious feeling. Perfect for winter cold seasons. Love this facial wash. My face loves this milky hydrating texture as it glides onto my skin and washes all the dirt and dead cell turnover after a long work day.

JVN Complete Blowout Styling Milk

 This hair product smells divine! It is so smooth and silky and the hair absorbs the product without feeling sticky. It elevates your curly or wavy hair, but doesn't do much with humidity hair. I used it on a high humidity day and my hair looks as crazy as usual. But it kept my hair clean and I even survived second day hair feeling as fresh as the day of when I used this product. I will pass this onto my very curly hair friend and know she will love it as much as I did.

celimax Dual Barrier Mild Gel Cleanser

 

Just a pump goes a long way. It's gentle and creamy and perfect for morning wash. I love the pump and no scent plus very hydrating.

tocobo lemon toner

 

This was a great toner for the transitional seasons of summer and autumn. The jelly texture was perfect for the drier conditions. It leaves my skin subtle and able to absorb the following layers of skincare afterwards.
