The Korean Skincare


Hi everyone! Today will be talking about skincare.
To be honest, I don't have a skincare routine before and not a fan of it. My realization came when my son ask me, how come I don't have any skincare routine when most girls do so. 
The reason why I don't have a skincare routine because I have tried some beauty products before but it doesn't works on me or it's so strong. And I'm also lazy for a routine. I'm not much of a beauty conscious before I just use beauty products which was gifted to me or what I think looks great on me. ^-^ 
So after my realization on skincare routine. I had a days off at work and so I spent time on Youtube to search for Korean skin care... 
Why Korean skin care? 
Well, aside from being addicted to Korean music and drama, I heard that their products is not harsh to the skin but very effective. It's obviously effective seeing Koreans having great skins. I have also tried some K-beauty products before which are great.
Skin type and Problem...
I have a combination skin type by the way... Oily on the T-zone and very dry on the rest of my face. I also  have a large/visible pores that I really wish to conceal or wipe out.
The Solution...
So I spent the day watching videos and learning Korean skincare routine. So it turns out, the beauty products doesn't work on me because its not suited for my skin type. >.< I have learned so much about the importance of skin care routine and its effects. 
I've also watch reviews of K-beauty products to use. And this made my card crying because I went online shopping for K-beauty products after. ㅠㅠ 
I opted to shop at Althea for they have a variety Korean beauty products that are popular and authentic and they also shipped straight from Korea. 
I shopped for individual products that I have I picked from the video recommendations and reviews that Ive watched. It was not cheap but taking my chances. Thanks to the great discounts that I got at Althea its was such a huge savings. I'm so excited to see and use the products Ive ordered.
Will be talking more about Althea when the products Ive ordered arrive.
