KOREAN SKINCARE HAUL

There are tons of products on the market that claim to provide us with radiant and blemish free skin, but do they always work for everyone? Of course not. 

As someone with oily acne-prone skin, it's not the easiest to find skincare products that work with my skin. I've gone from natural remedies (e.g. aloe vera, ACV), to dermatologist advised (e.g. Cetaphil and benzoyl peroxide) to drugstore finds (e.g. La Roche Posay and Avene). However, I still haven't found a skincare collection that suits my skin's needs and works for hormonal acne. If you have any recommendations, please link me up! 

If you've ever watched a K-Drama or obsessed over a K-Pop group, you'd know that Koreans tend to have the clearest complexions you've ever laid your eyes on (this isn't an exaggeration). A combination of both a good diet and skincare regime, Koreans take good care of their skin, no matter their sex or age. I mean, there's a reason why Korea is the beauty capital of the world... With that, it was only a matter of time until I fully upgraded my Korean Skincare collection. I've had a few products here and there, but I'm planning on fully transitioning to a full korean Skincare collection by the end of 2017. 

To start myself off, I made a small order from "Beauty & Seoul", a Korean Skincare retailer in the U.K. I received a ton of samples, which means I won't be hesitant to purchase the rest of my skincare products from there in the upcoming future. Also, I used the code "THANKYOU10" for 10% so I'd suggest trying it out!
