Korean Essence: A brief guide

Image
So when I fell into the wonderful world of korean skin care, one of the most used buzzwords was essence and my first reaction was- WTF is an essence? 🤔🤔🤔 Known as the heart of the Korean Skin care regimen, Essence is essentially (pardon the pun), any product with the aim to hydrate the skin and prepare it for any subsequent products you use. It’s more than a toner and is packed with more active ingredients.  So then how are they any different from serums?  Well they are formulated to be lightweight and are water based  to make them easier to absorb. While serums tend to have a thicker consistency and have even more potent ingredients.  Though there are a quite few essences available that are more viscous and even spot treatment essences- blurring the lines between essences and serums. What essence aims to do is pretty simple: HYDRATE Well hydrated skin is supple, plump and in general healthier.  That’s what toning and essence aim to ...

Face Mask Review: Lush- Don’t Look At Me

I just Blued myself: We love face masks and are always up to try a new one. This time we tried Lush cosmetics- Don’t Look At Me. Lush claims all their products are 100% cruelty free, vegan and handmade. This definitely applies to their fresh face masks. Oh!

It is definitely a step in the right direction in reducing waste.  So you get great skin and a clean conscience.  The only downside- since they are preservative free they must be used pretty quick, sometimes within two weeks.  Since Marit and me have completely different skin types, besides the obvious colour.

Both of our skins felt softer, plumper, cleaner and brighter. Plus it didnt make Marit break out.  For the rest watch the video. ...

Full disclosure, I’m a total koreaboo, to the uninitiated its someone obsessed with Korean culture. The inner dork in me loves Korean Pop (there’s more to it than Gangnam style; trust me), Korean TV shows and Korean beauty and style trends. The first thing I noticed when watching Korean dramas and music videos- how flawless everyone looked. I mean you can not deny, even Psy’s skin looked amazing in Gangnam Style. Like all the women and the men had Dewy glowing blemish free skin. Initially I attributed it to lightning and make up, but even off camera they looked amazing; it couldn’t be only makeup could it? This is how I fell into the world of Korean beauty or K beauty for short. Holding out for a hero For my first post I would like to introduce the superstar ingredient of Korean beauty products- Snail Mucin. It’s hard to find a Korean beauty brand that doesn’t carry this secret ingredient!!! And trust me it works ` So I decided to start to write about a product I’m obs...
