I love my Laneige, The Créme Shop and all the rest. What is your favorite K-Beauty brand and product?

Mine is the Laneige Cica Sleeping Mask.

Korean Skincare Must Haves

Does anyone have any alternative skincare hacks? I have a few.
1. Shea Moisture Bamboo Charcoal Moisturizer. 
I get heat rash in Summer and strangely in Winter because I wear tight pants (leggings and Fair Isle pants). I've found that this Moisturizer does a great job in keeping my skin perfect and also providing some relief from the heat rash.
2. AOA Squalane Balm instead of Vaseline to pack down skincare at night. 
I love my Squalane Balm. If I put some on over my sleep mask or over my night cream I wake up so much better looking.  Lol
3. Facetory's 50 face mask bundle.
I am doing a face mask a week and love love it.
Anyone else?

Alternative Skincare Hacks

Nothing. I'm over the moon about this product. Thank you Picky and P.Calm

I was lucky enough to have been gifted this lovely cleanser and oh my dear, this Cleanser is a total game changer. Not only is it a Holy Grail for my skin, it is the only product that has made my skin Softer than any other cleanser thus far! It has so many botanical ingredients I can't even name them all. My pores were super clean but my skin was super hydrated and didn't feel stripped. Honestly I use baby wipes to cleanse my face every other day because most cleansers are too harsh, but this cleanser I can use every day!!!! What a lifesaver this is. I'm so excited. With Tea Tree Oil and Centella Asiatica, this is a true must try for all of you Dry Skin Ladies and Gents out there. 5 out of 5 stars!!!

It's not big enough. Lol. No I'm buying the big one next time. The tea tree smell may put people off. The fact that there is no foaming may put people off, but it is a non-foaming balm cleanser. I have found nothing wrong with it. 

This is an amazing product. The small size is only $1 and it us so worth it. I use it because I have very dry skin, but also because I use black eyelash glue. Sometimes oil doesn't get the eyelash glue off, this balm does.
All I do is put the balm all over my face and neck and it hardly takes any of it. I rub it over my makeup and rinse off and there isn't a trace of my hard to budge lipstain or eyeliner or anything left! I have had it a month now and it is barely used. So easy to travel with and feels amazing. Non drying and my skin feels like butter.

I was lucky enough to have been gifted this Toner by P.Calm and Picky! Rewards and this Toner took everything I knew about Toners and tossed it to the wind. I'm an 80s girl so Sea Breeze was my first Toner. Clearasil pads were next and Witch Hazel and yes, even Rubbing Alcohol even became a Toner. But in recent years I've tried other toners that just make my skin feel stripped and just like it wants to crack. Not so much with this one.
P.Calm took all of the lovely oils and botanical it uses in it creams and cleansers and put it in a Skin Barrier containing Toner. I've never seen or felt the effects of a Toner life this. My skin was hydrated and actually feels better after using than before. I could not, nor can I now believe it. It looks even better than before. I got it late, so I want to use it more before I put in before and after pics, but I will be back to post them.

I tend to like to "feel" my skincare working. I can't feel this. Also I had a little problem with my eye makeup going on well. I had to adapt, but when I did....wow what a difference.

I love this goat milk derived, super light eye cream. This is nourishment in carnage. The Fluffy eye cream sits over your skin and just delivers lovely, creamy, brightness to your undereye area all day long. My tired eyes didn't look it as all day I caught my own reflection in mirrors and windows abd thought "well thank goodness I don't look as tired as I feel!" 
Why it works, well supposedly human skin and goat milk share the same PH. In fact that is why the European Milk Maids were so popular and why people as far back as the Pharoahs bathed in the milk of the goat. It was storied to be a skin treatment in the Bible and in Egpyt and African tribes have used it to calm rashes and hives for Centuries. Also there is a stimulation of cell turnover at the skin level because of the weak AHA in the Lactic Acid. This prompts more Collagen and less wrinkles!
So grab the skincare of the centuries lol. I have and my eyes are brighter. 

It stings if it gets in your eyes so beware. If washing with it in the shower, take the cap off first. Getting it off while you're wet and soapy isn't fun. If your hair runs water onto your face when you shower (like my traitor hair does do the wash slides into my eyes), the was will slide right into your eyes.
Other than those super tiny, human error things, this IS my Go-To Cleanser.

This Foaming cleanser makes my skin soooo soft. I have super dry skin so I do an oil or balm cleanser first, then this cleanser. It is so nutritive and the first Etude House product I ever used. It made me try many other Etude House products and it sits on my bathroom sink at home. When I come home after a long day and just want the day washed off so I can do some things around the house without Mascara in my eyes, I'm so pleased to have this and it's Soon Jung Cica Balm next to it so I can wash, balm and go about my business until I can sound more time on my complexion. Total must have in the Skincare Toolbox #1
