You know what they say: there is something about Korean beauty products. And they are right. My love with Korean beauty products began last year when a friend of mine, who is South Korean, gave me a nourishing cream for my sensitive, acne-prone skin. After few days I noticed that my skin looked plump and young. I am 38 years old, I had a baby and I have not slept much in more than a year. Together with hormonal changes before, during and after pregnancy it can easily translate into dry skin, fine lines and dark circles under your eyes.
I can’t explain what it is about Korean beauty products but they work. In my case, the biggest help comes from regular use of hydrogel face masks (1-2 times a week). I admit that our genes play a large role but good care can make miracles.
Do you use Korean beauty products? Which is your favorite?
NATURE REPUBLIC
I love their face masks. So far I tried these two and love to use them during the week. After long day at work, I put it on when Chloe-Sofia falls asleep. I may look like from a horror movie but after 20 minutes my skin looks plump, hydrated and bright. I got them from South Korea but you can get them on Amazon as well.

– It is a hydrating face mask with Manuka honey.

TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL
Another Korean beauty brand that is available in your local Sephora store on online. Yay!
Morocco Ghassoul Foam Cleanser (from Amazon for $14.97)

Too Cool For School Egg Mellow Cream (available online on Sephora.com for $36.00)
