One of my favourite things about Korean skincare is the post-facial (minus the facial) glow you can achieve with K-beauty products and methods. The 7 skin method is no exception. It has a simple concept – layer a toner or an essence onto your skin 7 times. This intense hydration gives way to a plump, […]

Sometimes […]

Having learnt this, albeit a little late, I have recently incorporated some amazing products that deeply hydrate the skin and give a nice glow. So, let’s get into my […]

I’ve read a lot of benefits online about gua sha and jade roller tools and was curious to know what they could do for my skin. It seemed that celebrities loved them to reduce puffiness in their face, but I wasn’t sure how much of a reliable source that was. So, I decided to purchase […]
