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 MoreThis year has been going by so fast, even though we're just a month into fall I feel like I've missed so much. Apart from the drop in temperature, fall is one of my favourite times of year. It's not really about the things that you can do in fall but rather a feeling.
Read MoreThis year I’ve been pretty relaxed with my skin care routine. I just don’t have the energy to be too complex with what I’m applying to my face. The majority of the products that made it to my favourites list are aimed at providing maximum moisture and minimal effort on my part. I didn’t plan it that way but that how it turned out.
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 MoreFor the last few months I’ve found any and every reason to wear makeup. Going to the store to grab some pizza perfect time to try out this new eyeshadow palette, taking my daily walk - a little blush is always good.
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 MoreI picked up a sample of this from Sephora on a whim, I saw the email saying that I could get a deluxe version and choice it when I placed my next order. I hadn’t heard anything about it prior to me choosing it. Then I saw a few Instagram review posts and thought oh, I guess it’s gaining some traction.
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.
