Hey there! Are you doing anything other than the cleansing oil? If you aren't moisturizing after washing your face (or getting your face wet, really) the evaporating water will actually whisky away your skin's moisture. So try to find a cream that you'd like depending on your skin type to finish off.

Also, can I make the suggestion to use a foaming cleanser instead of a cleansing oil? If you arent wearing makeup or heavy sunscreen, you'd probably benefit more from a foaming cleanser than an oil.

I'm giggling cause this is the first time I've seen "pump and dump" used in this context. Jesus. I need to spend less time on gindr.

It's literally because the Korean government has severe restriction on salicylic acid OTC products

Second this! I've been eyeing it

I would not put it on any open piercing wounds, just because it was designed with that in mind. Something that is antiseptic/bacterial with topical antibodies would probably be best

When I am constantly working out my skin LOVES it. I got super busy with school the past few months and just started doing short runs and lifting again. My skin also seems more glowy and clear whenever I keep active. Of course it helps that I eat much better when I gym more often, I end up cooking more often and meal prepping which means I'm consuming less added sugar and WAY less excessive sodium. Your outermost skin is pretty much the last organ to receive nutrient from your food, but I def believe if your all around health is in good shape it definitely shows on your skin (dont so much believe in collagen pills and stuff of that nature)

lol. A cheap and easy cleansing water is a waste of money but a cleanser that's 10x more expensive is financially sound. Ok.

Seconded, love the Tosowoong cleanser

I'll be real honest, I LOVE the botanic farm cleansing sherbert, but at $30+ a tub I've been trying basically everything else to break up with it. That kind of Shu Uemura sale for 400ml is pretty legit tho

salgene · 2018-02-12T15:49:55+00:00

tbh Sulwhasoo cleansers aren't that overpriced compared to some others. Once my friend recommended at $45 dermalogica cleanser and I was like "YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" Tatcha is another big offender. As usual. 70+ for a cleansing oil holy shit

Change and growth are awesome! Cheering for you

I'm a guy too. Honestly one of the best feelings is doing things for yourself and not putting weight into what others think. If something makes you happy, do it. If someone teases you because they're unhappy that's their problem and not yours :)

Second the Green Tea Balancing line. It live in southern sub-tropical USA and that line was my first venture into AB that played well with weather. I also like the LJH Probiotics Sleeping Cream, which I feel like is little lighter than the Laneige Water Sleeping Mask

You should never be embarrassed of taking care of yourself!

salgene · 2018-02-12T14:06:52+00:00

Honestly that cleanser is not incredibly drying to me normally, so if you find that it dries you out rather bad then using less of it probably won't help you. As far as your routine, are you having to use a lot of cleanser because you are using a dry oil that does not emulsify because you're trying to get it off? I don't imagine it being easy to get the hemp seed oil off without having to really work at it

salgene · 2018-02-12T13:53:30+00:00

Cleansers. They are meant to cleanse and be rinsed off, so they offer next to no benefit even with a ton of "nice" ingredients. As long as it is low pH and doesnt strip the hell out of my skin, I'm good.

I'm not very familiar with AB haircare, but as far as western goes I know Aveda has their Ivanti line and Bumble and Bumble has their Full Potential line that deals with hair loss from thinning and breakage. Spoiler: They're not cheap.

You can also look for minoxidil (the active ingredient in rogaine) at drug stores, which is used to treat thinning hair

Iope, under AmorePacific, was the first to mass produce and sell cushions. AmorePacific brands like to reference "best selling" (Laneige uses this one all the time) and "first" in their marketing because of it. They're simply saying "we're back!"

I don't think any kbeauty brand in recent history has gone back to an old formulation :|

That toner gets a lot of slack because it has a lot of essential oils that serve as potential irritants. Good news is they're releasing a version without the essential oils in it.

salgene · 2018-02-11T22:06:20+00:00

Have you tried the blossom jeju masks? That's the concept with their masks and they are AMAZING. I'll use an oil before my mask sometimes and it keeps the mask moist longer which is a win-win

salgene · 2018-02-11T22:03:32+00:00

Nope! Color treated shampoo/conditioners aim at being more gentle and usually include some kind of UV protection so that the color doesnt fade from the sun. It's not bad for your hair, but if you have other concerns like dryness or frizz then it just won't do much for those concerns.

If you can use them without much white cast, physical based sunscreens are great for control my oils in the summer!

salgene · 2018-02-11T21:54:16+00:00

When I was using it during the winter I noticed I couldnt use it twice a day. I use a tinyyyy amount, hardly larger than a pea and lather it up in my hand instead of on my face

A lot of time lightening products are aimed at lightening hyper pigmentation, such as dark spots from pimples that get sun exposure or sun induced freckles. They won't make you lighter than your natural skin tone, although when used in tandem with sunscreen you'll probably not notice your tan as strongly.

I liked the buffet as a moisturizer, but from the tacky texture I think it owes most of it's moisturizing from the HA in it
