Beauty:

Have you heard about the latest trend in the Beauty department? Korean beauty products are a hit in the US right now. It's affordable, which we like. And it works well, which we love! After reading about it on Elle beauty, or what not, I decided to give it a try. I went on over to Soko Glam, which sells curated Korean beauty brands. A couple months ago, I had an allergic reaction to a facial product and my chin area turned all red and started breaking out. It was quite embarrassing, since my skin has never reacted to anything like that before. I was devastated! And the redness was not going away even after staying away from makeup and other skin products. All I used was Aveeno Ultra Calming facial lotion and Cetaphil Gentle cleanser. When I saw Etude House facial masks and eye patches, I thought I should give it a try. I needed the moisture in my face and needed something that was good for my sensitive skin.

The Etude House facial masks were amazing! It felt great on my face and when I was done with it, I rubbed the rest of the moisture into my face. No need for facial lotion! It was calming and refreshing. Even though it's recommended to use 2-3 times a week, I would totally use it everyday. The redness on my chin went away and the breakouts also diminished within a day or two. I was really happy with the results. The eye patches were also wonderful! I get puffiness under my eyes for the lack of sleep I've had for the past 20 years. It decreased the puffiness after 2 days of use. I definitely need to order more of these. If you're looking for affordable sheet masks, find them here. You won't regret it, I promise!

I usually don't write reviews for anything, but this time I will.

As of late, my skin has been reacting to the change in weather. I'm sure many of you are experiencing a similar affect, dryness. This winter has been windy and dry and my poor skin unfortunately got dry rashes from it. It was horrible! And was quite embarrassing leaving the house and meeting up with friends. But I've been treating it well, using Cetaphil gentle facial cleanser with this Konjac sponge I recently got from Dr. Sponge. And I must say, it really truly works!! It makes my face feel so smooth, and the zits and rash I had below my chin are diminishing on the second day of use. I applied makeup on and there were no clumps on the dry areas I use to have. Amazing!!! If you have sensitive skin like myself, or even combination skin, try this! There's different sponges for different skin types. I highly recommend this!

Find it here.

Here's how I use it:

1. Rinse the Konjac sponge under warm water for a few minutes until it expands.
2. Rinse your face with luke warm water and apply Cetaphil gentle facial cleanser on face, or your preferred cleanser.
3. Take the sponge and scrub face in circular motion for 30 seconds or for as long as you feel. (If you have makeup, probably a little longer)
4. Rinse face and clean your sponge thoroughly and hang dry.
5. Voila! Feel your smooth skin.
6. Apply sunscreen facial moisturizer. ( I use Aveeno SPF Ultra Calming moisturizer).
7. Add tinted moisturizer and makeup. (I use Aveeno SPF Postively Radiant tinted moisturizer in Medium).

Thanks for reading my review!
