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.

ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 Foundation-Balos ST3

 ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 Foundation-Balos ST3


This is a nice skincare/moisturizer tint product. This texture is a bit thick for me to use during the August hot and humid weather, but I will be using this daily during the upcoming autumn season. It does give you a natural look but it's too shiny especially if you sweat outside. The key in using this product is just a few drops to smooth onto your face. If too much, then it can look heavy.

LancĂ´me Skin Feels Good Hydrating Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 23

 I had to exchange for an even lighter shade from 01N to 01C in the store after I tested it. I was even debating for the 009N milky peach because the colors are very different when you pump it out but as you rub into your skin, the color mixes well into your skin. If you are very fair, then I would suggest you skip this tinted moisturizer. Great for the summer but it does sink into your fine lines so don't use too much, just a light layer is enough. I have been using this during the hot temps well into 85s and 90F and it does well.

OTZI Hydro Crystal Lightweight Gel Moisturizer

 

This is the perfect lightweight summer moisturizer. It isn't sticky and doesn't clog my pores. Absorbs quick and gives my sensitive skin the perfect amount of hydration.

Drunk Elephant F-Balm™ Electrolyte Waterfacial Mask

Love this hydrating overnight mask. It feels like an emulsion, very light and glides easily.

My sensitive skin is smooth the morning after using this overnight cream. It doesn't give me milia or is sticky. Love the pump. Will repurchase this product again if it goes on sale.

belif Peat Miracle Revital Serum Concentrate

 The best serum I would use for the winter for oily combination or all year round for dry skin. I Love the jade green color packaging. I have been using this product during the spring summer season while wearing a mask for work for 8 hours to keep my face moisturized and break out less often. The texture is similar to aloe vera and glides on smoothly onto my skin.

Youth to the People overnight superberry hydrate glow dream mask

 

Don't enjoy this overnight mask. Yes it keeps my skin hydrated but it does have a tacky feeling that I do not enjoy. My skin does feel plump, but I prefer another type of overnight mask.

THE ORDINARY Squalane Cleanser


THE ORDINARY Squalane Cleanser

At first, I liked the texture, but I don't like the after feeling. It is best to use in the shower.
Nice gel cleanser but won't repurchase it. I don't feel as if this cleanser has removed the dirt and makeup residue on my skin when washing. I always have to use another cleanser afterwards to make myself feel better.
