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.

Tatcha Water cream

 Best day or night cream during the hot summer conditions. A bit watery for my taste, but a little goes a long way. Skin feels soft and smooth the morning after. Packaging looks luxe on my selfie bathroom vanity.  I love to lather this all over my face and neck before going outside.

Sulwhasoo Essential Comfort Balancing Emulsion

 Love this light moisturizer during the summer. 

Skin absorbs the moisturizer so well and fast. My skin always look smooth and refreshed the morning after. Love the pump and packaging which I do see a bit of sparking glitter on the bottle.

Neogen DERMALOGY Real Ferment Micro Essence

 I can argueably suggest that this product texture is similiar to the IOPE essence. It's a more affordable option. Great for sensitive skin. The lightweight is best for summer time. Very hydrating.

Tatcha DEWY SKIN CREAM Replenishing & Plumping Moisturizer

 I've been using this product more at night since I found out I was pregnant. My skin is ultra soft and smooth when I wake up in the morning and wash my face. But after using half the jar and as the weather got warmer, my skin was becoming more oily as the day goes on. So I will stick to using this either at nights or winter day creams.

Anua Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner

 I understand the hype for this popular watery toner. I see myself using this product more during the summer but of course all year round is fine but you will get more benefits of the reduction of redness during the warmer temperatures. I'm glad I got the jumbo size and I am willing to share this toner with my family members haha.

Live Tinted Hueguard 3-in-1 Mineral Sunscreen, Moisturizer, Primer SPF 30

I'm so surprised that not many people know about this mineral sunscreen. I purchased this product because I needed a mineral sunscreen because I'm pregnant and can't use chemical sunscreens which I always preferred. Secondly I needed something that will last the humid hot Taiwan weather while on vacation. I loved this lightweight sunscreen; not only was it effective, but it's a slight orange yellow tint that blends into any color skin. My mom loved it so much when I shared it to her that she never returned it back to me.

Biossance Squalane + Elderberry Nourishing Jelly Cleanser

 I hate it. I have never dislike a product so much that I wish I can throw it away and never have used it. The only good thing about it is that it's jelly texture is great for sensitive skin but I don't feel clean after. It has this weird filmy texture after you try to wash it away. I have to either use another cleanser to wash it off or use a toner wipe to remove it. Epic fail for this product for me. I don't think I want to repurchase anything from their brand except for the eye cream.
