5 #KBeauty toners worth checking out. What’s you 5 #KBeauty toners worth checking out. What’s your favourite toner?

Toner is an important step that helps prep your skin for your skincare routine. Thank you @stylekorean_global for sending these along!
⠀
🍋 AHA, BHA Lemon Toner by @tocobo_official - I’ve reviewed this one before, and y’all know I love it. It’s exfoliating, but not drying, and leaves your skin feeling bright, moisturized and refreshed. It has a thick and viscous consistency, but still absorbs quickly and layers nicely.

🌿 Vegan CICA Tea Tree AHA, PHA Blemish Toner by @marynmay_global - This was my favourite among the bunch. It’s great for sensitive skin, calming and effectively removed dead skin cells. It has all my fav skincare ingredients and reminds me a lot of the Some By Mi 30 days miracle toner.
⠀
💧Waterfull Hyaluronic Acid Toner by @jumiso_global - Absorbs quickly, has a water-like texture but is still very moisturizing. It was a little too much moisture for my skin this time of year, if you have dry skin you’ll love it.
⠀
🤍 BHA+ Pore Zero Toner by @betheskin - Incredibly gentle, with a water-like texture. I found it to be very calming and left my skin feeling really soft, smooth and clear. It’s very lightweight and is great for daily use.
⠀
🌳 Aloe BHA Skin Toner by @bentoncosmetics - I’m a big fan of Benton, and this toner did not disappoint. It’s moisturizing, calming and soothing. I found it to be very gentle and absorbed easily. Great for sensitive skin.

Happy Saturday🥰☀️ I’ve been spending so Happy Saturday🥰☀️

I’ve been spending so much time at @parkwoodestate this summer, and it’s bringing back so many memories from when I was a tour guide. It’s such a magical place, if you’re local you need to visit it.

(Gifted) Y’all. Can we talk about this SPF by @s (Gifted) Y’all. Can we talk about this SPF by @skin1004official for a minute. What I love about it is that it doesn’t even feel like you’re wearing sunscreen!

It’s so lightweight and will give your skin a flawless dewy finish. It absorbs quickly, is hydrating and doesn’t feel sticky or greasy. I didn’t get any additional breakouts while testing this one out.

Key features:
• Hyaluronic acid, CICA and green tea to soothe and replenish skin
•  SPF50+ PA++++
• Anti-wrinkle and brightening
• Chemical sunscreen 
• Vegan and cruelty-free

Because my skin is a little more oily this time of year I’m probably going to hang onto it for the fall/winter when my skin is more dry. 

Disclaimer: I received this product for free from Picky and Skin 1004 for testing purposes.

I found this design in DesignSpace, cut it, then stuck the stencil into place and used some spray paint. I also used sealant spray to weather-proof it. I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out 🥰.

(Gifted) @purito_official is one of my favourite s (Gifted) @purito_official is one of my favourite skincare brands (their unscented cica serum is my absolute favourite serum), so naturally I was really excited to have the opportunity to try out and review the Dermide Relief Barrier moisturizer! ☁️

Key features:
• Formulated with 5 different types of ceramides
• Calms and moisturizes, while strengthening the skin barrier
• Vegan and cruelty-free 

I was immediately impressed by how much product you get – this bottle is HUGE. I found it to be lighter than other ceramides creams I’ve tried, which I loved because it didn’t completely clog my pores, but still really moisturizing. It’s a little heavy for my skin for the summer, but I know I’m going to love it for the winter when my skin is more dry. 

Bonus points: the entire bottle and packaging is recyclable. It’s also sensitive skin friendly, PEG-free, silicone-free, essential oil-free and fragrance free.

Isntree new packaging product set review

Three Isntree products lined up in a row. From left to right: chestnut AHA 8% clear essence, TW-Real bifida ampoule, and mugwort calming cream

I recently received some products from Isntree through Picky to try out in exchange for my honest review. I loved using each one of these  products so much that I thought I would share my review here too. I honestly noticed a difference within a few days of using these products and would recommend them all!

If you’re not familiar with Isntree, they’re a Korean skincare brand that was founded in 2009. They are is focused on green-beauty products with ingredients that are safe for skin and use natural and functional ingredients – dermatology meets nature. Isntree is also eco-friendly, has sustainable packaging. The brand is also cruelty free and does not engage in animal testing. Many of their products are formulated for sensitive skin.

The brand name can be broken down as follows, quoted from their website:

  • ISland: a nature island that is pure and clean and not affected by pollution
  • Natural: use of pure raw materials from nature
  • TREE: a strong tree that bears good fruit and grows with our consumers

Chestnut AHA 8% Clear Essence

The chestnut AHA essence is sensitive skin friendly, moisturizing and helps remove dead skin cells. This essence is very light-weight, refreshing, gentle and absorbs quickly. I have very sensitive skin and used it daily with no issues.

Ingredient highlights:

  • Gongju Castaneda cremate Shell Extract
  • Low-irritant AHA, glycolic acid
  • Lactic acid

TW-Real Bifida Ampoule

This bifida serum strengthens your skin barrier, reduces wrinkles and brightens your complexion. It’s light-weight but still is packed with moisture. It also absorbs quickly and isn’t sticky. It left my skin feeling silky smooth and glowing. It also layers with other serums nicely.

Ingredient highlights:

  • 88% Bifida fermentation extract
  • Triple peptides 
  • Niacinamide
  • Adenosine

Mugwort Calming Cream

The mugwort cream is incredibly calming, moisturizing and great for acne-prone skin. It feels soothing upon application. It’s not greasy or too heavy, and a little really goes a long way which I loved.

Ingredient highlights:

  • Ganghwa mugwort extract
  • Licorice root extract
  • Artemisia capillaries extract

I‘ve been using these products as part of my night time routine, but this cream absorbs quickly as well and would layer nicely with other products or under SPF.
