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.

Good Molecules Niacinaminde Brightening Toner


 Great toner for the morning before you start the day. My face always feels refresh and ready for serum.

Dennis Gross Dark Spot Sun Defense Sunscreen

 

I brought this sunscreen when it was in the Sephora Favorites: Sun Safety Kit 2020 bag. I wasn't about to use it under I finished my opened sunscreen during that time. I opened this product this summer 2021 and was glad that I used it up now that summer was over. The product has a slight white cast which goes away after 5 minutes or as you rub it in. It then leaves a slight glowing look on your skin. It doesn't feel heavy or sticky.

fresh Lotus Anti-Aging Night Moisturizer

 

I love this product! Best night cream for the summer for me. In my opinion I believe this is the best for skin in the early 30s. I love this lightly scent moisturizer; great for my sensitive skin. I was sad that I emptied it within 3 months and will repurchase. It kept my face and night moisturized. It wasn't sticky or heavy.

MakeUp by Mario Glam Quad - ROSY

 

Love this shadow quad especially for everyday work wear. 

It has a natural look and I use it with "no makeup" looks. The glitter topper on the upper left side gets this entire look a bit of a lift/ Love it!

Good Molecules Overnight Exfoliating Treatment

 

This product tingles a bit when I use it hence only twice a week after I use a foaming cleanser. I never use anything else that is exfoliating or AHA BHA with this product. I have sensitive skin so I'm extra careful on what I layer this product with. It does do something to my face because my face is smooth the morning after.

Giorgio Armani Neo Nude True-to-Skin Foundation

 


Neo Nude True-to-Skin Foundation
5 - Light, Neutral
Skincare-infused sheer foundation
 


I think the shade color that I choose was a shade too light, so I wasn't too happy about this, but I believe there are ingredients in here that break me out. Luckily, I use this as a BB cream instead of a full foundation. I apply with my fingers because it can be easy to blend and work with, but you need to work fast. I do admit that I like the luminous look after application and I'm glad I tried something "armani", but I wouldn't repurchase this again. Check the ingredients before you buy.
