Hello everyone! I hope everyone is staying cool in this hot weather! So as the sun comes out more frequently, I have been patch testing different sun screens to use. I have been patch testing all the new products I use on my forearms and behind my ear, and I seem to have no reaction. But when I apply it to my face, there is definitely a reaction. Does anyone have any tips on how to properly patch test a product?

The Correct way for Patch Testing?

Hello everyone! So whenever I put on any skincare product, I get these little small pimples on my face that flare up and become red. They are present on my face but they appear as small red bumps. And there are a lot of them that are only on my cheek area. When I go to apply my skin care routine, even washing my face, they flare up. Please help. Thanks!

Break from Social Media

The bottle of the toner dispensed the product very fast, and sometimes caused an overflowed on my hands. Using a gentle squeeze, the nozzel “shooted out” the toner fast. Over time, I have gotten used to pouting out the toner, using a more gentle touch. 

This toner is a “bang for your buck.” This is the second time I got the 500mL toner size. I first heard about this toner from my friends, and after research, i found out it got many Korean skincare awards. The toner has a very water consistency that allows me to apply the toner with my hands. This also allowed me to layer the toner easily. When I first put the toner in, I felt hydration immediatly and the toner was absorbed into my skin fast. I used this toner to make DIY Toner Pads to use on trips or vactions. Overall, this toner is amazing. 

The Rovectin Clean LHA Blemish Ampoule is absolutely one of my favorite gente exfoliators/ampoules. This serum relly hydrated my skin immediately. The ampoule has a thick, gel consistency that applies smoothly on my skin. The ampoule has anti-inflammatory properties that also help brighten dark spots. I could really see a difference in my clogged pores and reduced my blackheads.

When applied, it stinged my pores and caused irritation. The next day, I developed new pimples :/. This sunscreen is not the hest for my skin, but for others, it might be amazing. 

Known as one of the go-to Japanese Sunscreen, I obviously needed to review this product. This sunscreen as been reformulated to be increased to PA++++. This sunscreen however, contains alcohol, and when I applied it to my skin, it stinged by pores and caused my forehead to break out. The good news however, is that it had a watery, thick texture and applied well to my skin. Overall, I can understand why people enjoy this sunscreen, but its not the best one for my skin. 

I have nothing bad to say about this product. 

Happy Lunar, Chinese New Year! I wish
everyone a good year filled with luck and prosperity!

The only thing that I would say would be bad about this product is that it contains small beads containing birch juice. This small beads may cause irritation to some people. For me, the beads melted quickly when I rubbed it on my face, and I didn’t really see any irritation. 

Right off the bat, the packaging of the cream was very elegant, and was contained in a plastic, glasslike jar. This cream was very light and VERY moisturizing. Its light texture was absorbed by my skin right away. The cream has a gel like consistency that applys wonderfully on my face. It left my face with a glowing shine and really made my skin brighter.
