Thoughts

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.

centalle sunscreen

A bit thick for oily summer skin but great for winter sunscreen. Keep the skin hydrated and moisturized.

Benton Air Fit UV defense Sun Cream SPF50+/PA++++ 50ml

The product likely mint and green tint that disappears over. Great lightweight sunscreen that absorbs quickly under the skin. A must try! Use for all seasons. No white cast.

chanel hydra beauty micro creme

I purchased this as a 35th birthday present to splurge on myself. It feels luxurious but it doesn't give the skin much benefits besides moisturizing which almost all other skincare can do. The beads are cute and they do burst as you apply onto your face but not worth the price tag.

LaMer revitalizing hydrating serum

Oh My God! This product is going to be on my Holy Grail list for 40s. I love this hydrating serum. No scent, love the minty color, soothes my skin and keep it moisturizes. Absorbs so quickly and non-sticky. Been using this daily for daytime as the autumn temperatures chills our skin.

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.
