Have you ever tried the seven skin method? . For any who haven’t heard of it the seven skin method is applying seven layers of toner to boost hydration and plump the skin. Really you can apply any number of layers depending on your skins ability to absorb products. For my skin I’m apparently able to layer an endless number of toners. I’m a sponge. If you’ve been following me for any length of time you know I have lengthy routines. The majority of the products I use are toners and serums, lighter products that layer easily. I love the idea of the seven skin method, but figure if I’m going to be doing multiple layers of toner why not use a variety of ingredients? Seabuckthorn, lactobacillus, hyaluronic acid, rose water, give me a multitude of ingredients so I can reap all the benefits. I love doing this because I can see a visible difference. My skin is plumper, fuller, and looks healthier. On days I don’t do a full routine, or skip layering toners, my skin has a flatter and less bright appearance. I know that this won’t work as well for everyone because we all have different needs and skin types, but since this works so well for me it’s worth the extra time. . . . *several items in photo are pr gifted. #rasianbeauty #abcommunity #skincare #frenchskincare #koreanskincare #itgtopshelfie #intothegloss #indieskincare #instabeauty

Have you ever tried derma-stamping? . Over the last 6 or so months I’ve tried out a few different ways to microneedle. Rollers, pens, and stamps. They all have their own pros and cons, but thus far I’ve found all of them to be effective. The @panaceaskn Mesostamp and Hydra roller (both Pr) are both small but mighty. They can be filled with your choice of serums or toners, I tend to choose a mix of products. My favorite combo thus far has been the @yeouthskincare pure hyaluronic acid mixed with some of the @skinbiologycosmetics copper peptides serums. A few times I’ve also used the @voibella_beauty vitamin c serum* to stamp directly into my skin, I’ve found it to be gentle enough. The original mesostamp has 20 24k gold plated needles at 0.6 mm, and the hydra roller has 64 titanium needles at 0.25 mm. The hydra roller would be a good place to start for anyone who hasn’t ever microneedled, and is a great tool for getting around small delicate areas like eyes. I’m finding for comforts sake I prefer the roller, though the mesostamp is very effective at delivering my serums directly to my skin. It does take a bit more patience to stamp all around the face, but I generally save these to use around my eyes. I love that these allow my serums to directly penetrate my skin. The day after using both of these I find my skin to be plump and very smooth. It’s really like a mini-injectable, though of course not as effective as professional fillers. For a quick at-home treatment though these are a wonderful way to achieve a bit of that yourself. Due to the dulling of the needles these are meant to be used 3-5 times each, though I have personally used them more then that. I definitely noticed the needles weren’t as sharp and I was feeling more discomfort around 10 uses. As @peepingpomeranian pointed it in her review these are on par cost wise with a pack of really good sheetmasks, or a wash-off mask. As with any Dermarolling PLEASE keep it clean. Soak these in alcohol for a few minutes before and after each use. It’s so so important to be sanitary with these. *pr gifted. . . . #indiebeauty #indieskincare #dermaroller #byrdiebeauty #intothegloss #itgtopshelfie #rasianbeauty #abcom

We spent the morning at Chuck E Cheese so of course I needed to look my best right? Really though, it was a slow morning and we were in no rush so I added a wash-off mask and took my time with a nice hot shower. I know a lot of people advocate for cold showers because they’re better for your skin, but much like being a side sleeper I’ll take comfort over beauty there. This mornings routine in order: • @caudalie glycolic peel mask* • @soroci_korea morning drizzle buket (sic) mist* • @klairs.global midnight blue youth activating drops. • @atruekorea honey lemon black tea mist* • @jkosmmune_cosmetics beta glucan toner* • @narukous 10% peptides Ultimate firming Eye complex. • @purito_official complex 94 boosting essence* • @olehenriksen Truth Serum* • @whalmyung WM5 anti-oxidant rejuvenating serum* • Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance serum* • @iunik_official propolis vitamin synergy serum* • @biossance squalane + peptide eye gel. • @hyggee_korea Fresh. • Ole Henriksen Banana bright eye cream* • Klairs midnight blue calming cream* *pr gifted.

What type of wash-off mask is your favorite? Moisturizing, cleansing, soothing, exfoliating? . I currently have a rather large selection of clay masks. I’ve long been fond of the @caolion_usa masks and was very excited to see them launch their more affordable sister brand @jjyoung.us. When they reached out to me to ask if I’d like to try some of their masks it was a big yes from me. They sent me a set of their clay masks, both the Pore Glow and Pore Steam. These are very similar to the Caolion steam and original masks but a bit more gentle. The Pore glow mask contains kaolin clay, menthol, pomegranate, ginkgo, and fig among other ingredients. The menthol gives this a mild cooling sensation that feels very fresh and pleasant. The mask is creamy and spreads easily, with some larger exfoliating grains scattered throughout. The white formula has a bit of iridescence to it which is pretty. Leaving this on for 10-20 minutes gives me very clean and refreshed skin, and does give a bit of a glow. It washes off cleanly, though I’m not a fan of the physical exfoliation it includes. The grains are large and rough, so I try to rinse this off with no scrubbing. The pore steam mask also has kaolin clay as well as charcoal powder and Jugians Regia shell powder. This is a more of a cleansing mask to clear pores, and heats up a bit upon application. This also has some physical exfoliation due to the shell powder, but with a much finer grain. I reach for this mask when my skin is acting up a bit and find it calms my skin down as well as smooths. I love that both of these masks stay creamy the entire wear time, I’ve left the steam mask on for over 30 minutes before and it didn’t dry out at all. One of my concerns with dry skin is a drying mask, so I love having a clay mask that stays creamy and moisturizing. JJ Young has the same quality of the Caolion masks at a more affordable price. I’d definitely recommend both of these, and will be picking up some of their others products myself. . . . #rasianbeauty #abcommunity #abbeatthealgorithm #kbeauty #koreanskincare #flatlayoftheday #darlingweekend #itgtopshelfie #intothegloss #indiebeauty #indieskincare
