Would love to see what your haircare routines are! I feel like it's not discussed as much, and somehow it feels more complicated than skincare. I know there's things like scalp massages, oils, serums, conditioners, but where and how does everything fit into a regular routine?
If comfortable, it would be appreciated if you could mention your scalp and hair types! Thanks and hope you all have a lovely day c:
26M here. My face feels like it’s starting to look aged, and honestly I don’t use any skincare at all 😭 I just wash my face and use soap. I’m willing to buy some good products and start a proper routine. What do you guys actually use or recommend?
By chance, has anyone here has used this specific azelaic acid cleansing gel from Fushiting? I bought it off Yami this week and used it twice. So far, I found it is flattening my cystic acne, which is exciting! (edit: forgot to take before and after pics of my face - sorry)
Since I only have my short-term experience of this seemingly-unknown brand to go off of, I am curious to hear other people's experiences/reviews of this product.
Hello lovelies! I haven't seen this discussed here before, so I thought id mention it. I have a child. I noticed literally from the first trimester of pregnancy until after, everything changed... my skin went from normal if not a little dry to combination, my scalp became more oily, and some makeup just stopped working for me that worked amazingly before! And of course I developed the dreaded hyperpigmentation 🫠
I changed my skincare up and found some things that worked better, but I am still kind of in the process of finding what works for me with my new situation.
Has anyone had this before? What tips, techniques or products do you have possibly?
This could possibly apply to menopause and HRT too since big hormonal changes can seriously change your skin and hair sooo much its actually crazy!
Hi everyone! I’m looking for a blush that has a glass skin effect and stays long. After some research I found the HINCE one but I had some questions. Is the blush sticky? Because I love putting on a lot of blush and I wear my hijab in a way that the loose fabric is always touching my cheeks so wanted to know if it’s sticky. Thanks!
I work from 7 pm–7 am, so I do my usual night routine at 9 am and my morning routine (sans sunscreen) at 6 pm. I apply a sunscreen spray right before I get off work for my 10-minute walk home. Do any of you wear sunscreen to bed? It just seems so weird, but I guess it would make sense!
Have you used any asian body products? What are some products you liked and would repurchase?
I suffer from BO, need something to moisturize and something to gently exfoliate as well.
Body wash, moisturizer, scrubs... any product that works!
I'm looking for bigger sizes of the lighter shade in the medium brown abh brow powder duo because I want to go for a lighter brow, and the darker shade is a bit too dark for me. Preferably powder products please.
For reference, I am neutral to cool toned and pretty pale in general, so I wouldn't go for warm toned products
Biore Athlizm Protect Essence (Japan)
Context: am in my 50s with dry + reactive skin. 10/10 on the sweaty scale, everything burns my skin/eyes, live in hot dry climate. HATE feeling stuff on my face. Needed durable SPF for hikes and distance runs (1.5 - 2+ hr).
Somehow, this forms a durable film that you can def feel but isn't at all claustrophobic or cloying (the part I hate, apparently).
It has some shine but less than most (first face pic is right after applying), dries down well (second face pic, ~20 min later).
Face was *less* of a swampy, sweaty mess with this on. Didn't sting or burn anything. Could still feel it after a 90 min sweatfest/trail run.
This Biore voodoo will absolutely replace my longstanding go-to Elta MD Sport for longer runs, summer, peak UV times. Also comes in stick that I'm absolutely getting for reapply. Good stuff if you need something bulletproof!
Note: it says "essence" but is a thick lotion.
I bought mine from Yesstyle.
is the website legit??
i found senka bright and balanced cleanser at watsons a week ago, and bought it because it was on discount. Heres a review because i am so surprised by the results it gave me
i have been using it since and it got rid of my under eye bumps! or at least minimised the look of it by a lot. i tried tret, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, lha, and so many other things but i think this is what worked the best amongst all others
my skin also looks so soft and it visibly brightened my skin. because it reduced my bumps and sebaceous filaments my makeup also looks better after using this.
BUTTT its so so drying 🥲 like everyone on this sub says, my skin becomes so tight after every use. even though my skin looks better it feels like it is worse. dont know if this cleanser is only working because its stripping everything from my skin LOL i tried tretinoin before and this feels even more drying that that 😭
I might try a pH balancing toner after this cleanser and see how it works just because i like the effects so much but if it still feels tight, i will switch to using this only once a week.
but if you are oily skinned and struggling with this i think u can give it a try!! wldnt recommend to dry skin at all LOL
So I"m looking for this specific sunscreen SKIN AQUA UV moisture Milk SPF50+ PA+++. And, I cannot find the exact match.
This specific sunscreen is alcohol free and is fungal acne safe too.
Anyone knows if there is a new formula or it was discontinued?
What do you do to minimize the appearance of your pores?
I’ve been focusing mostly on hydration, supporting my skin barrier, and using the Ilso Sebum Softener once a week (my skin is too sensitive for BHA/AHA), and it helps a lot with clearing sebaceous filaments.
But I can’t help but wonder if there’s a more effective strategy.
I’m thinking of checking out a pore serum like the Sungboon Editor Green Tomato Pore Lifting Ampoule. Also will be trying the Celimax Retinal Shot Tightening Dual Cream and changing my cleanser to a milk cleanser to see if I can improve my pore appearance, especially along my nose.

I’ve never achieved such a perfect and plumped aegyo sal had to record it (ﾟ∀ﾟ)
This is how I use this palette -
Number 1 is great for highlighting the aegyo sal
Number 2 and 3 -> base
Number 4, 5, and 6 -> drawing the aegyo sal shadow
Number 7 -> a really nice cool tone contour I use it as contour lol
Number 8 -> not my fav glitter but it’s cute and good for inner eyes/aegyo sal highlighting
Slide 4 -> the brush from the plumpuku palette is so hated on in xiaohongshu but I find it to be quite nice 🤔 maybe cuz I have no brushes
In my pics I used 5 and 6 for my aegyo sal and the judydoll contour palette matte highlighter to brighten it!
I find this palette to be better than the plumpuku palette ! (^_^)
Can anyone identify this eyeliner? It’s a dark cool brown and I love it but can’t remember where I bought it. From reverse image search I think it might be BBIA? There’s a very small 5055 printed on the body (not sure if the packaging is generic)
i have light medium neutral and oily skin! looking for medium buildable coverage with a more matte finish
This post is about a korean-claimed (=products are made in Korea, brand lists under "korean skincare" on yesstyle) sun-focused skincare brand called TAGE. The products seem interesting, but as the great James Welsh has coined some brands (not yet this one as far as I'm aware of) as "cosplaying kbeauty", that is something I prefer avoiding just out of personal preference, hence the discussion;
While this brand seems to be more "kbeauty" than Epii, I still find myself being a little confused about how it came to be so out of nowhere into everybody's SPF favorites this summer, considering that the brand opened its tiktok account in march 2026.
I tend feel a little suspicious when a new "Kbeauty" brand highlights its origins. "Korea's sun specialist", they claim, but we all know that title would more likely belong to Round Lab... Of course you can self-title yourself in a flattering manner, but to me this seems more like a deliberate "we are THE kbeauty made in korea, korean sun care SPF brand (did you notice we said 'korean' yet?)" -campaign followed by continuous yesstyle discounts, plenty of sponsored/gifted posts on tiktok and so on. Nothing new, but also, not how you build an unbiased and trusted reviewing base on your brand (imo).
So, let's look further into the brand. It was hard to find anything about when the brand was launched, but there are some silver linings, so to say.
However, there is something that I found to bring me some hope into this research, if you can call it that. They do seem to also have the web-page of their own in Korean, as well as a korean instagram account:
Is it popular? Not really. But if they are a korean brand trying to also make a name in korea, it definitely adds positively to how I would view them as a brand. That is, since I have grown really tired of these brands that just produce their products in korea and market it loudly as K-beauty towards the western folks that will run after every trend that gets pushed enough (by the brand itself) on tiktok.
First I looked at their global links and it's looking more like one of those brands that I just spoke of. Platforms where their products are available; yesstyle, k-secret, Jolse, stylekorean and their official website. Their korean linktree however, does bring some interesting points; they are sold on Olive young, which is expensive and difficult to get into but can be also played for inauthentic popularity (referencing this post here, no personal experience. And of course, it's been since deleted, but comments do give some context...)
Also, when I went to read the shop guide on their own website, you can see that their returns go to Korea.
So, I have to admit, I have a hard time understanding their brand identity. They clearly push the "korean" in their marketing which locals obviously don't need to be hearing, so the marketing is towards a western audience. But they also seem to have korean roots, at least to some extend...
Which is why, if you have read this far, I would love to hear your thoughts. Have you seen this brand around, and have you found it odd in one way or another? Has it struck you as a "western-targeting brand cosplaying as k-beauty" such as certain brands, or is it more like skin1004 and BoJ for example which are simply targeted to the west but more so genuinely korean in their roots? Let me know!
A sneak peak into the new Girlcult Loulan Hippie Collection that according to freya86_ff on Instagram (that posted these pictures for us) will come out on the 19th of August!
In my city there's this Atomy beauty representative who launches frequent courses, which costs around free to R$50,00. They advertise it as skincare courses.
I've read the posts about the brand in this sub and the overall opinion is that the products are good, but one definitely shouldn't join their MLM scheme.
I was signed to take one of their free courses and I'm curious if it's gonna be actually helpful or just a way to spread their scheme.
Has anyone taken one of those courses? Is it actually informative on skincare?
