My skin has been behaving her self recently, and that makes me pleased. I have not broken out in a while, and my hyperpigmentation is surely fading away at a fast pace.
I got to pick up some skincare goodies from Glowie Co recently. Glowie Co is a beauty/skincare online store that sells all things Korean, Japanese, and Taiwanese skincare, makeup, and body care products.
I got to pick up some products that I know my skin needed to achieve a glowing skin. I went straight to the brand CosRx because they are one of the best Korean products with great ingredients that work for the skin. I picked up their Salicylic Acid Daily Cleanser, AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner, Aloe Soothing Sun Cream, and Ultimate Moisturizing Honey Overnight Mask.
I love to mask; I try to use a facial mask at least twice a week. Glowie Co has an extensive collection of masks, so I got to pick up a couple of them specifically for my facial needs. I picked up an Arbutin+Hyaluronic Acid mask from the brand Annie’s Way, Charcoal Deep Cleansing Mask from My Scheming, and 23.5N wash-off face mask + overnight mask (2-in-1).
Here is a more detailed breakdown of all the products.
1. COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser: Salicylic acid is excellent for my skin. It is a gentle ingredient that goes deep into the pores to clear clogged pores, oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria from inside the skin. The Daily Gentle Cleanser does not dry the skin; it gently exfoliates and sloughs away dead skin cells to reveal brighter and smoother skin complexion. It is formulated with botanical ingredients to soothe the skin and 0.5% salicylic acid.
2. AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner: This toner is so soothing and refreshing. It contains Alpha Hydroxy Acid and Beta Hydroxy Acid for exfoliating the skin gently. It has a low pH formula as well as purifying botanical ingredients to soften and brighten your skin. This clarifying toner is enriched with Willow Bark Water for bright and supple skin.
3. Aloe Soothing Sun Cream SPF 50: Sunscreen is imperative to use if we are looking to maintain healthy skin and prevent premature aging and sun damage. This sun cream is broad-spectrum and protects against UVB and UVA sun rays. I wrote about some of the best sunscreens to use in this blog post. The sun cream is lightweight and spreads easily on the skin. It is formulated with aloe for maximum hydration and full protection from the sun.
4. Ultimate Moisturizing Honey Overnight Mask: Overnight Mask help to repair your skin while you sleep. It works with your skin natural repair system to combat any skin issues that you might have. This mask is enriched with more than 87% of Propolis Extract and natural beeswax for intensive hydration. Use at night as the last step before bed. This overnight mask will help repair your skin if your skin is stressed, dehydrated, or experiencing inflammation.
5. Annie’s Way Arbutin+Hyaluronic Acid Gel Mask: I find myself using this facial mask at least twice a week. I like its gel-like consistency, and little goes a long way. The two ingredients in this mask are in my top list of effective ingredients. I use hyaluronic acid every day for hydration, and I use arbutin for hyperpigmentation; these two ingredients used together in this mask, always transforms my skin after each use. This mask is suitable for all skin types.
It replenishes moisture, purify pore by absorbing excess sebum, and helps to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also contains Ascorbic Acid, which penetrates deep into the skin to help repair and brighten the skin. The mask gives me the glowing skin I desire.
6. My Scheming Deep Cleansing Mask: This mask is best to use if you have normal or oily skin. It contains bamboo activated charcoal, vitamin B5, and hyaluronic acid. The bamboo activated charcoal helps to absorb impurities and deeply cleanses the skin. Vitamin b5 brightens, gives you a glowing skin, strengthens, and repair the skin. Hyaluronic acid enhances the moisture content of the akin, helping outer layers of the skin look more hydrated and radiant.
7. 23.5N Gel Mask: This mask is for all skin types—a cute sampler set to try before investing in a larger size. The sampler set includes a balancing mask, brightening mask, soothing mask, and hydrating mask.
* Oriental Beauty Tea Balancing Gel Mask: Balances oil and moisture levels in the skin while also clarifies and refine pores.
* Red Pearl Barley Brightening Gel Mask: Gently nourishes the skin, reduces the appearance of fine lines and firm, smooth, and retexturize the skin.

The super sleek feature of this gel mask is that it is a 2-in-1 gel mask. You can use it as a wash-off mask, or you can use it as a daily overnight moisturizer.
