How Snail Mucus Changed My Life: Exotic Anti-Aging Skin Care Products that Work

There are so many advances in skincare coming from Asia, primarily from South Korea and Japan. Compared to the U.S., they are way ahead of other countries in terms of research on anti-aging products. The only catch is that the ingredients used are a bit, um, “exotic.” Snail Mucin – It is what it sounds like, the slime that comes from a snail. Don’t worry, … Continue reading How Snail Mucus Changed My Life: Exotic Anti-Aging Skin Care Products that Work

New Year, New Skin: The 10-Step Korean Skin Care Routine

People ask me all the time for skin care tips because I look a lot younger than my age. Of course some of this is due good genes and being Asian (Korean American)–BUT it’s also the result of good skincare products and habits you can try yourself. Have you heard about how seriously Koreans take their skincare? The now famous Korean approach to skin care … Continue reading New Year, New Skin: The 10-Step Korean Skin Care Routine

The Essence of an Essence: A Hydrating Skin Care Step

To be clear, this post is about a liquid-ey skin care product called an “essence”, not a treatise on philosophy. Like most Korean skin care inventions, there is yet another step to add to the famous Korean 10-step (sometimes 14) skin care routine. Why do it at all? It’s another way to add hydration (by definition, that’s anti-aging!) and exfoliate your skin–that may even be … Continue reading The Essence of an Essence: A Hydrating Skin Care Step

Flawless Skin: Evelyn Iona Natural Cream Concealer Review

Having perfectly clear, even-toned skin is the dream for most of us. Take a look at any pre-tween child and that’s the goal. Youthful skin is wasted on the young–at least until they hit puberty. Thank goodness for concealer! I discovered my new favorite concealer, Evelyn Iona Concealer, from a salesperson at one of my favorite stores, a Sephora for organic beauty products, called Credo. It’s … Continue reading Flawless Skin: Evelyn Iona Natural Cream Concealer Review

Secrets to Looking Young: Sheet Mask 101

I mistakenly assumed that most people already knew about the miraculous sheet masks from Asia for your face. I’m now realizing that there are some poor souls who don’t know about the fountain of youth-like effects that face sheet masks can offer: hydration, anti-aging, brightening, and more. Personally, these have been helping me with keeping my skin in an ideal state to ward off irritation, … Continue reading Secrets to Looking Young: Sheet Mask 101

How to Get Soft Hands and Treat Depression: Jurlique Rose Hand Cream Review

The skin on your hands is often the first indicator of your age. Your real age. This is why I slather on the Jurlique Rose Hand Cream to keep my hands and cuticles moisturized. It also helps with avoiding eczema, which is not something you want to advertise on your hands either. I was in a week-long training class for work and could see my occasional … Continue reading How to Get Soft Hands and Treat Depression: Jurlique Rose Hand Cream Review

Natural Organic Lipstick with SPF: Ilia Tinted Lip Conditioner SPF 15 Review

You hear a lot about using natural cosmetics but sometimes it’s hard to do that when you don’t know what the negative consequences would be. I often find that the natural SPF products don’t have the smoothest consistency that you want in a lipstick. This might be the first one I’ve found that comes close to a regular lipstick–and also has skin-saving non-chemical SPF: Ilia … Continue reading Natural Organic Lipstick with SPF: Ilia Tinted Lip Conditioner SPF 15 Review

The Hype Behind the “Best Eyelash Curler on the Planet”: Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler Review

I wrongly assumed that people had heard about the hype behind the “world’s best” eyelash curler from Japanese brand, Shu Uemura. But then I have to remember that most women in the U.S. (and probably all the men) don’t worry about having the stick-straight eyelashes that most Asian women have. It may seem trivial, but eyelash curlers become a HUGE deal if you don’t already … Continue reading The Hype Behind the “Best Eyelash Curler on the Planet”: Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler Review
