Korean Skincare and Cosmetics Thread 3

[n_n]

Sis izzie7

Ok, copy po. Mej lunod lang po sa school works, we'll make time. Thank you!

[Myealexis21]

^^Thanks Sis ataypool.  I don't want masayang kase itong products, mahal pa naman so uubusin ko muna siguro and slowly get into the Korean counterparts.

Ngayon cleanse, tone, moisturize pa lang ako.  Wala pa ako sa mga treatments, I need to research more on that kung ano ang kelangan kong idagdag sa routine ko. 

[ataypool]

^treat facial oils like a serum. Maganda naman
iyang Kiehls. Namamahalan din ako diyan maski gusto ko subukan.

[budzwhiz]

^^ Pwede ka naman mag dive into the Korean routine without changing your whole line of products. If it's working for you, better stick to it.  Ako not everything Korean, esp. toner, I switch between my CosRx and Kiehl's. Yun nga lang mas mura talaga Korean, and by that I mean some or most of their mid-range products perform just as well, if not better, than high-end western brands.
Agree ako dun sa mga serum ng Kiehl's, di mo malaman whether to treat as serum or facial oil, yung consistency and texture nila very oily haha.

[Myealexis21]

^Sis true kaya naguguluhan ako haha! I recently added the face shop lotion and di ko alam if yung white seed lotion ba mauna dito sa kiehls or dapat after.

^^Yes mahal sya. But effective sa akin lalo na yung daily reviving concentrate. 130dirhams yung maliit na bottle and matagal maubos (the sample i got from them last me almot 2weeks!).  And my eyecreams are from kiehls din. But nacucurious kase ako sa korean products. And if effective i might switch as soon as maubos.  Mas mura pa yung ibang korean products.

Ayun on my buy list na ang:
---Etude house toner.. basta yung may pore at blue bottle sya
---Missha FTE
---Banila Co. Clean it zero (pink)
---Su:m 37 Miracle Rose cleansing rose petal

Can't decide sa sleeping mask, eto choices ko ---- missha Cell renew snail / Mizon Goodnight White / Innisfree Green Tea / Laneige water sleeping mask / Etude House moistful collagen.  May na try ka na ba dito sa mga to Sis Ataypool?

Natatakot ako sa mga treatments like yung BHA at AHA baka di ako hiyang. Kaya read read read muna ako.

thanks sis izzie. checked the  skincarecurator they have cosrx bha but out of stock pa ost
sayang kasi wala sa althea. super enjoy ako dun sa site ng althea easier shopping/transaction

[ataypool]

^^Hindi ko pa nasubukan sila na sleeping mask pero madaming maganda sa Korean na sleeping mask kasi matagal na, lately lang nagkakaroon ang Western brands. Iyang Laneige nabasa ko noon na gusto ng mga flight attendants while on duty. I'm currently using Sulwhasoo.

Subukan mo na rin AHA and BHA for better penetration ng iba mong products. May glow and brightening na ako noon sa Korean products pero nang naglagay na ako ng AHA, BHA, nadagdagan and existing pigmentation nabawasan (better than all laser treatments I had).

[lovely_chic]

I stopped using Shiseido Perfect Whip and bought Cosrx Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser. What i like about it aside that it has low ph are the ingredients. I hope this time hiyang na ako.

[kdramaholic]

My favorite moisturizer/sunblock is from Nature's Republic! It's the best though I think not recommended for oily skin

Snail Mask also from Nature Republic

I also love Skin 79's Extra Premium BB Cream because it has loads of benefits

Designing Brow from The Face Shop

[Myealexis21]

^^Sis Ataypool natatakot kase ako sa AHA and BHA kase acids haha! But might include that later this year, siguro pag malamig na dito at hindi na ganun ka-harsh ang sikat ng araw. 

unti unti ko na isisingit yung ibang products pagdating ng order ko.  Nagstart na ako dun sa toner at face lotion na nabili ko sa TFS.  Ok naman sya so far.  And have I mention that I love Korean wash off masks and sheet mask? haha as in love ko sila compared sa western counterpart.  Mas gentle and hydrating.

EDIT: Meron pala akong naisave na article for my skin concern from Paula's Choice - Kelangan ko nga ng AHA, yung butlig butlig sa noo ko I think closed comedone (yun pala yun haha).  Siguro after using Missha FTE for 3 weeks, dagdag ko na yang AHA at kapag naconvince ako na kelangan ko ng BHA, isama ko na rin yun.  Salamat sa tulong Sis Ataypool and Budzwhiz.

Suggest please a good eye cream. Should I use acids? What are acids for?

[Myealexis21]

^Sis suggest ko read about acids. I am currently reading articles about it and i found out na ang dami kong misconceptions about this.

May simple explanation from Paula's Choice website.  But if you want to read further maganda yung website ni snowwhiteandtheasianpear.com saka yung fiftyshadesofsnail.com

Meron ding thread dito - AHA BHA PHA

For me, convinced na ako. I will include this in my skincare soon. 

[oracLe]

Ito yung plan kong regimen:

CosRx AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner
Missha FTE
Missha Night Repair New Science Activator Ampoule -OR- Guerisson 9 Complex Essence -- Torn ako, so help?
Guerisson 9 Complex Cream

OK ba yan, sisters? hehe

[oracLe]

Gamit kong Korean masks, Coony eh. Green tea, gold, Syn ake ang favorite ko.

[izzie7]

Yes ok na yan.

Yung innisfree greantea sleeping pack ba may beads? Parang facial scrub? Hindi nag mmelt sa skin yung beads unless idiin mo. Weird lang. Saka mas malagkit sa laneige pero once ko pa lang nagamit so hindi ko pa alam kung ok sya. Pag sensitive ka sa fragrance hindi ka pwede sa innisfree mabango sya.

[mariebiscuit]

got my second order from Althea,,nag hoard na kasi ako ng Aqua blossom whitening cream 5 pcs ,then ordered It's skin coQ10 power effector serum ,cushion puff ,,

[oracLe]

Torn ako sa Guerisson 9 Complex Essence and COSRX Galactomyces 95 whitening essence. Or pwede kong pagsabayin? Mas mura yung Guerisson. Haha

[drag0nfly]

Yung innisfree greantea sleeping pack ba may beads? Parang facial scrub? Hindi nag mmelt sa skin yung beads unless idiin mo. Weird lang.

Yes sis, may beads sya and kelangan mo gently massage sa face para ma-dissolve. Saken ok naman sya. First sleeping pack ko Innisfree so parang nasanay na ako sa texture. Gustong gusto ko amoy nya, nakaka-relax lalo bago matulog nilalagay. Been using it for around 3 weeks. Super hydrating kahit lakas AC when I sleep, paggising ko hindi dry face ko.

[Ireneeeeee]

naaaliw ako sa mga foam makers too bad online lang available.. meron akong net foam maker and nag order ako sa althea ngayon ng meringue foam maker naman. ang sarap kasi maghilamos kapag super foamy nun wash and in fairness may explanation din daw pala na mas maganda mas pino yun bubbles para mapenetrate yun pores. currently using iwhite korea facial foam with my net foam maker

[izzie7]

Yes sis, may beads sya and kelangan mo gently massage sa face para ma-dissolve. Saken ok naman sya. First sleeping pack ko Innisfree so parang nasanay na ako sa texture.

Ok na sis, pressing motion pala dapat. Nasanay lang ako sa laneige na mas light. Gusto ko din yung amoy nya. After awhile din hindi na malagkit. Naparami lang siguro yung unang lagay ko. Haha ilang beses kong binasa kung sleeping pack yun akala ko facial scrub haha

Nattemot na kong bumili ng dear emprani or beauty water kasi ang tagal ng mag restock ng pixi glow tonic. Kaso hiyang ako sa may aha. Pero since na over exfoliate ko yata face ko balik ako sa simple routine.
