I am an ardent ceramide fangirl. If a skincare product has ceramides, you can bet your bottom dollar it’s probably going to end up in my shopping cart. Ceramides are an essential building block for our skin barriers and an ingredient naturally present in our bodies. I especially love it as an ingredient to help …
Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream is a K-Beauty classic, without a doubt. I mean, look at it! The color! The texture! It is a beauty to behold. The first time I tried it was around three years ago when I first started using retinol. I decided to finally purchase it again last month after not …
I’ve always felt self-conscious of my hands. While other women’s hands looked smooth and soft, mine were constantly dry. I have lots of lines around my knuckles, and I’ve always felt that my hands seemed to belong to someone older than myself. Plus, due to the cool tone of my skin, my hands have a …
Being the penny pincher that I am, I love a multi-use product. And no, I’m not talking about a 3-in-1 shampoo, conditioner, and body wash type situation. That would be taking it a little far! But if I can reasonably use a product multiple ways on my person and still have it work well for …

Snail mucin is a hallmark ingredient in K-beauty skincare products. Long lauded for its ability to moisturize and heal skin, you can find it in a variety of products such as essences, serums, creams, and masks. I’m a solid fan of this particular ingredient, and I’ve found that it works with my skin wonderfully well.
On the outside, this is an unassuming moisturizer. It isn’t pricy (it’s quite affordable, actually) and it doesn’t have super flashy packaging. One might be inclined to think that it won’t wow you much, but that is where you would be wrong!
Paula’s Choice Barrier Repair Moisturizer from their Resist line is an amazing product for beginning retinol users, or for people with sensitive skin that have to avoid stronger formulations. I’ve been using this moisturizer for six months now, and I’m incredibly happy with how my skin has changed over that time.
