New products you want to try this Spring 🌸

For most of us, Spring is just around the corner. Which means you may find that you need to change up your skincare routine to be more fitting to the environmental changes. So, which new product releases have caught your eye recently which you would like to try in the season of cherry blossoms? I'm hoping to try the new Rovectin Lotus Water Calming Sheet Mask. It sounds refreshing, and I predict it will have a lightweight essence which my skin will just drink up.

Let's chat about Benton

I've really been into Benton products this Summer. I've been using their products for a few years now, but it wasn't until recently that I tried their customers favourites (the Goodbye Redness line and Aloe Line). So I was wondering, what is your favourite Benton product that you've either brought yourself or received as PR? Mine is their fermentation essence which I never got round to reviewing 🤦‍♀️ If you want to find out more about Benton, I have a blog post ➡️ https://bit.ly/3xAPoLK

Let it gooooo, let it gooooo!

What is one product you were happy to let go? 🗑️ Perhaps a product that didn't seem to work no matter how long you used it for, or perhaps it caused a reaction. Give your honest opinions below ⬇️ Here's a product I just couldn't grow to like:

Underrated K-Beauty products

Mention below a Korean Skincare product that you love, but believe doesn't receive enough credit for its performance. In my opinion, the Innisfree Blueberry Balancing foam cleanser deserves more hype. In the past 2 years it has slowly started to gain more recognition globally as some international sites now sell it, but I still think it needs more praise. It was one of my best product discovers during the time I lived in Korea. What's yours? ⬇️

2 Sunscreens which actually passed retesting ☀️✔️

In January, I mentioned on Instagram 2 Korean sunscreens which I know passed both independent and external retesting after the controversy surrounding the performance of countless facial sunscreens. It seems like many people are still on the look out for sunscreens to trust, especially as it is taking longer than expected for brands to reformulate their products to meet the requirements to be classed as a high spectrum sun protection product. I would of course like to share with you the documents which prove and support these claims, although the are not mine to share. To my knowledge they haven't publicly released the successful retesting results, but maybe they can be found somewhere online or on the brand's social media pages (I acquired the documents from an official retailer of Banobagi and d'Alba as I work with retailer as a blog writer). These are the results: ☀️ The d'Alba Waterfull Essence Sun Cream has an SPF value of 63.5 (PFA 22.10, PA ++++). This exceeded expectations. It was originally believed that it was SPF 50. ☀️ The Banobagi Milk Thistle Repair Sunscreen has an SPF value of 51 (PFA 11, PA +++). I really like both sunscreens. Have you tried either of these?
