I've become a little obsessed with facial care, in particular with Korean facial products. And thankfully, it has shown in the condition of my skin! I've had many people ask me how my skin is so soft and clear and honestly, I'm pretty sure these products are the reason. To help you all out in cause you want to look into getting some, here are a few products that I love:
1. Milky Piggy - KANGSI Pack (24k Gold Pack)
Brand: Elizavecca
This mask is for brightening and tightening. It goes on this beautiful gold color, is lightly scented, and after about 15 minutes, the mask turns white and stiff, which means it's time to wash it off. All of this is good to know since none of the instructions on the back of the bottle are in English! But after using this, I find that the skintone of my face has evened out greatly - there are no visible darker patches and blemishes have become less noticeable!
2. Jeju Volcanic Lava Face Mask
Brand: The Face Shop
Jeju volcanic lava is amazing for pulling impurities from your skin, such as dead skin, excess sebum and everyone's enemy, blackheads. This mask is super creamy, goes on very easily and within 15 minutes, your face feels squeaky clean and nourished! (Tip: try steaming your face before this mask...that way your pores are wide open and more of that excess sebum or blackheads will come out!)
3. Bubble Tea Sleeping Pack
Brand: Etude House
Now these are just adorable, aren't they? There are three different sleeping creams, each with a different "purpose", if you will. The green tea mask is for those who deal with a lot of excess sebum and acne. The strawberry is for those who deal with dry skin or just need more hydration. And the black tea cream helps improve the elasticity of your skin! Personally, I use the green tea one the most, but with all three, I've noticed a great improvement in my skin's overall texture!
4. Panda's Dream So Cool Eye Stick
Brand: Tony Moly
As a tired college student, dark undereyes are bound to happen. But with this cute little guy, all those dark circles and fine lines go away in no time. This product soothes just as much as it seems to erase my dark circles overnight. Plus, it's also just a really cute product to have sitting on your dresser or vanity.
5. Blackhead Out Gel Oil
Brand: The Face Shop
This is another product that I use for my excess sebum and blackheads. For those who don't know, those little grey dots all over your nose? Those are not blackheads. You are not among the "blackhead-stricken" if you have these because guess what? Many people do. Those are sebaceous filaments that your skin naturally produces. Blackheads are actually black and actually stick out from your skin like bumps. However, it is possible to have excess sebum, so this product can help melt away that excess and help remove any blackheads you might have. It's a gel that you massage onto your nose for a few minutes before washing it right off. I do it almost nightly, and have noticed my nose clearing up!
6. White Jewel Peeling
Brand: The Face Shop
This has become my mom's new favorite product, and after trying it out for myself once (shh, don't tell her) I can see why. This cleanser scrubs away all the dead skin and dirt off your face, and you can actually see the little "peels" that it scrubs off, hence the name. Afterwards, your face feels nice, soft and tightened.
7. Egg Pore Cooling Pack
Brand: Tony Moly
This mask is great to use if you have a problem with large pores, which I do sometimes. It's a very naturally cool mask that gently takes out excess sebum and blackheads while also closing up and tightening your pores to prevent any dirt from coming back in.
8. Red Ginseng/Blueberry Sheet Masks
Brand: The Face Shop
Now, I get my sheet masks primarily from The Face Shop, but you can get sheet masks virtually anywhere nowadays. I just find that these masks, the red ginseng and blueberry masks in particular, always have the most visible results. The red ginseng is for tired skin (which I seem to have all the time - hello, college) and the blueberry is for softening skin.
9. Pocket Bunny Mist
Brand: Tony Moly
This guy is just adorable, isn't it? But beyond that, these mists are lifesavers. The moist mist is perfect for those who need hydration throughout the day, and the sleek mist is for those who need to mattify and make their face less oily. Both can also be used as setting or primer spray for makeup!
10. Milky Piggy - Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask
Brand: Elizavecca
You might have seen many YouTube videos of people trying this mask because it's so bizarre. If you haven't, this mask basically bubbles up on your face! Even with how goofy it looks, it actually helps clean out your pores and leaves you with a soft, clean face. Plus, it's just a whole lot of fun to put on, especially for sleepovers or for the kids!
