I recently began a quest for all the beauty products needed to achieve the youthful, dewy look ever popular in Korea in anticipation of my wedding day. (Yes, I'm an American who watches a lot of Kdramas and became supremely jealous of Kon Joon-He's character in "She Was Pretty.") I've had a fantastic experience with the new skin care regimen: huge reduction in blemishes, almost completely eliminated the pimples!!!--I just get one or two during my period--evened skin tone, and overall a cleaner, softer face. Since it's been so overwhelming to research every step on my own, I'm providing a list of all the winners so far, and in what order of the skin care/makeup routine to use them in. Hopefully this is helpful for anyone who wants to venture into the world of Korean skin care but isn't sure where to start. **Indicates the product in review.1. Cleanser - The Face Shop: Rice Water BrightApply this to dry, unwashed skin and gently rub in circles to fully cleanse your face. Works as a makeup remover, but I'd recommend a different product for eye makeup removal. Rinse the oil off with lukewarm water.2. Toner/Refresher - Etude House 10-in-1 House Wonder Pore FreshenerTightens pores, and purifies skin. Apply to a cotton pad or cotton balls and then to face. Let dry.3. Moisturiser - Skin Food Peach Sake EmulsionPretty self-explanatory. Apply right after the toner sets in to feed your face with some moisture. I love the light peachy scent. It's lovely and sweet, but in no ways overpowering. I love how it treats my skin.4. Serum - Skin Food Peach Sake Pore SerumA slightly more concentrated moisturiser to apply after the first. Yes, Koreans have many steps (most of them moisturising ones) in their beauty routine, I've learned. But it really does amazing things to your skin. And once you get the hang of it, applying all these products every night doesn't really take a whole lot of extra time. It also cuts back on my makeup routine in the morning, because when my skin is naturally healthy, clear, and soft, I'd rather show it off than cover it up. ;)5. Night Cream - Nature Republic Fresh Green TeaNOTE: This particular product is not sold on Amazon. I had to buy it on sale at my local Korean market because I was too scared to order anything over $10 that I wasn't sure about. But you can find any number of night creams here for the final step. I recommend something with green tea or aloe. Just apply at night onto clean, pampered skin, rub it in thoroughly, and sleep on it!Other Cosmetics/Extras I Found Useful/Worth Purchasing:Facial Scrub - Skin Food Black Sugar Mask**Use twice a week for a deeper facial cleanse than you regular cleanser. Apply a little, gently exfoliate, leave on, rinse off. If it goes on too thick, use a little water or toner to make it easier to scrub in. I'm always a little skeptical when it comes to facial scrubs, because I have moderately sensitive skin that can sometimes be too oily, and sometimes too dry, and some masks do next to nothing for me except make my face smell nice. But this is fantastic stuff! It rubs right into your skin, and washes off beautifully, leaving skin so, so soft and clean! I used to be super lazy about regular skin care, but since trying this out, I look forward to the days when I treat myself to using it. :)CC Cream - Lioele Dollish CC Cera-VCC Creams are much like BB Creams, (not a cream to match your skin colour, but a transparent foundation/primer) but if my experience with the two I've tried is any indication, CC Creams give more coverage and make the skin look more bright, white, and luminescent, rather than simply evening out the skin tone and providing SPF. Apply before any colour foundations, if you use them.Highlighter - Etude House Secret Beam Highlighter #1 Pink & White MixTo be brushed on over foundation in key spots to brighten the face even further. Goes on like a sheer fairy dust--just a bit of sparkle, but not like glitter. This isn't for a Labyrinth Masquerade ball, you know. ;)Face Mist - Innisfree Green Tea Mineral MistFace Mist is something you apply whenever you choose, before or after makeup, to keep your face hydrated and fresh throughout the day. I carry a bottle in my purse and spritz a little on whenever I feel my face is tired. :) This particular mist I haven't tried yet, because my order hasn't arrived, but I bought a Nature Republic bamboo mist from my local Korean market, and I love it a lot.Products I Didn't Think Worth the Fuss:Face Masks- These are a huge hit in Korea, and they're fun to wear around the house to get a rise out of family members who think you look creepy. But for me they're too sticky, drippy, and overrated. I prefer the clay masks or avocado masks that you have to wash off after.Expensive Serums, Essence, Bee Toxin... anything over $20 a bottle I passed up. As I've discovered, you can get really great results with just the five things I listed above, and none of them are over $15. Most are under $10.

Solution for facial acne
This is an absolute staple for my skin care routine. I suffer from acne around my chin and mouth area. I had an aesthetician tell me that I need to use a gentle scrub on my face one to three times a week. This one not only is gentle, but it also makes my skin feel buttery soft afterwards. My acne clears up in a day after using the scrub!

Good exfoliant
I purchased this 8mo ago and just finished it tonight and wanted to leave a review after I used it up. I really enjoyed this scrub it smells awesome and leaves my face soft for a day or two and I do notice a glow immediately after. I feel like using it more than once a week was too harsh on my skin and overall it is a nice exfoliator but I didn't see any long term results like an overall skin boost. Perhaps I was not as disciplined in using it once a week and more like every other week and that's why. I recommend using about a nickel size dollop for the entire face (you don't need a thick coat) and leave on for 10-15min but no more than 15 because leaving it on longer does nothing more than if you leave it on for 15...I tried!! I also noticed that it caused me to break out a few times because my skin was too irritated/raw and open to bacteria. I don't have an oil problem so I can't say whether or not it helps with that and while I have dry skin I use a moisturizer so it never dried me out. I decided not to repurchase this for now and to try something new. I would consider purchasing again.

Amazing hydrating mask
I really wanted a nice scrubby mask that was still gentle. I found my skin type normal with combination T zone; I don’t need a mask like this more than maybe 1-2 a month but I’ll use it because it’s so moisturizing. Love it. Great product

I was going to rate 1 star until…
I wanted to try out a new exfoliator and saw all the positive reviews but… it just wasn’t it for my skin. First of all, it felt way to harsh for the skin on my face and actually left my skin feeling rough and kinda dry even though I didn’t apply any excessive pressure to my skin while using this product. Also my skin began to breakout with cystic acne, which hasn’t happened to me for a good 3 years until I used this product (also consider the fact that I have acne prone and oily skin but I recently found a good regime that had successfully stopped my cystic acne). HOWEVER, because I can’t return it, I decided to use it on my hands and elbows to get some use out of it, and it worked VERY well. So if you’re feeling confident about this product and worst case scenario, it doesn’t work well for your skin, then use it on your body and I’m 99.99% sure you’ll still get some use out of this product AND smooth skin!
