This review is long overdue. Guerisson is one of my favourite Asian/Korean skin care brands. The products aren't overly fussy or difficult to use, their simple and effective. The only thing that probably turns people away is the use of horse oil.
Read MoreI've been playing cool the last couple of months with my skin care routine. Sometimes just doing the bare minimum. I try to maintain my skin but there are times when the idea of a multi-step routine is just tiresome. For the nights when I feel like that, I will just add a moisturizer and completely skip on toner and serums.
Read MoreChemical exfoliation has made the biggest difference to the health tone and texture of my skin. My skin is smoother, my texture as improved and pores have reduced in appearance.
Read MoreSo a new season is upon us, and with that it brings cooler , possibly drier weather. Which means making a change to my skin care routine. In the summer adding too many layers wasn’t a good thing due to the nature of my oily skin. Applying too much moisture in the heat and humidity didn’t make sense.
Read MoreSo I’ve been using this toner for the past month on a regular basis, and I like it. It’s not revolutionary or anything but as toner or skin as they call it in South Korea, I think that it does it’s job. The acid in the name comes from the fact that the toner contains 45% Hyaluronic Acid and 5% Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruits Extract otherwise known as Seabuckthorn
Read MoreIf you’ve read any of my previous skin care posts, you might have noticed that I tend to use a good amount of products in my routine. I generally apply a multi-step process to my skin care routine. This summer though I’ve paired it down dramatically. This isn’t because I found a multi-step process to be too much or because my skin was reacting to any of the products, it was just laziness plain and simple. I didn’t feel like applying multiple serums and toners, so I didn’t.

So I have a couple different toners in my skin care wardrobe that I use. For the most part they were pretty random purchases. Some like the LJH were just because it was on sale and I’d heard great things about the skin care line it belonged to, I figured I had nothing to lose.
Read MoreSo if you’re into Asian skin care then you may have come across the term 7 skin method. Essentially one is applying their toner to their skin 7 times in a row. You just pat pat, pat it in. You can use a single toner or rotate it. Initially when I came across this method I thought it was foolish and a waste of my time, just another fad
Read MoreChemical exfoliants are becoming quite popular, and with that popularity the range of exfoliants available has grown. They all seem interesting and could possibly be a great addition to your skincare routine, but what do you do when you want to purchase more than one? Does it make sense to have a routine that contains multiple chemical exfoliants in it?
Read MoreIn recent months I’ve added quite a few new skin care products to my arsenal. I still haven’t been able to test and use everything yet, just because I want to do my due diligence and make sure that everything I’m using works well with my skin. It makes no sense to pile on a ton of different products and then have no idea which product is breaking me when I get a reaction, or If I see great changes in my skin but aren’t able to pinpoint which product brought about the change.
Read MoreSo I’ve bought quite a few new skincare products over the last four months. I tried to grab everything when it was on sale, some was impulse like the Son & Park Beauty Water and some I’d been thinking about for months like the Goodal Barrier Cream Fresh.
Instead of grouping the product by the site that I purchased it from - since they may no longer be available I’ve grouped it by category. So cleansers, toners etc.
