This thread is going to start with some bragging: I have really nice skin. I know this because this past Friday night, several people I had just met complemented me on my skin. Why am I bringing this up? The reason is, starting from the fifth grade, I have been plagued with terrible pimples, BP-oil spill levels of oily skin, and hyperpigmentation spots that would take FOREVER to fade. But now, you would never know about my pizza-faced past.
How did I do it?
Korean beauty products, friends. I decided to make this thread so that those of us who use Korean beauty products already, be it skin care or make-up or even hair care, can share with each other our favorite products as well as help those who are interested in trying Korean cosmetics for the first time to find products suitable to their needs. Also, I know that Korean cosmetic houses don't have stores outside of Asia, so if anyone knows an international seller, please share that info as well!
I'll start things off quickly (since this first post has dragged on long enough) with my favorite product of all time: Skinfood Black Sugar Mask Wash Off.
Yes, it looks a bit like you're spreading poo all over your face, but the smell is pure divine lemon-y goodness. This is a grainy, black sugar exfoliant mask that you rub gently into your skin and leave on for about 15 minutes before you wash off (as the name of the product suggests). The end result is beautiful, smooth skin and a soft, dewy glow. Definite must try!
