Product Review - K LAC

One new line created by a handful of scientists in Korea is KLAC, a brand that focuses on inner and outer beauty with products to consume as well as to soak into the skin externally. Scientists concentrate on create products that adapts to those with sensitive skin, even recommended for those with problem skin. With three applications of products that include a peel, serum, and mask, the products are only recommended to be used once or twice a week to achieve soft and clear skin. 

For starters, the peeler is used to remove dead skin from the surface. Just 30 seconds is needed to remove a large amount of dead skin. For those with sensitive skin though, it is not recommended to be used too often and it may leave your skin a little red and sensitive after use, but it actually removes all of the dead skin imaginable. Made with natural extracts from calendula and chlorella to nurture the skin as well as with vegetable lactic acid bacteria, this product is to help keep the skin moist after use.

The LTA Multi Boosting Ampoule Effecter is equivalent to "100 bottles of yogurt" for the skin by showing immediate results of smoother skin. Made of grapeseed oil and rosemary extracts, it helps to increase brightness in the skin through its sticky consistency which is different compared to other products. This sticky texture is their selling point and known to help reduce wrinkles by keeping the skin intact.

Although it is a little sticky, the product actually works well with the skin. It absorbs rather quickly and doesn't cause any reaction at all. The only problem is probably having to use more than anticipated because it is a bit sticky. Nonetheless, the product is actually amazing and blends extremely well with the skin.

The K LAC LTA Revital Mask Effector is a product made with green tea, pomegrante, and glasswort which is nourishing for the skin, helping to retain moisture with a glossy finish. The mask is extremely thick and infused with an extremely hydrating touch that can be left on the skin for longer than the recommended time of 15 to 20 minutes. The smart thing to do is after the 15 or 20 minutes on the skin is to drape it around the neck so you can absorb more of the product onto your skin. It works extremely well with sensitive skin and leaves the skin hydrated and smooth right after use.

Candy forms of the LTA Collagen Troche Candy is full of collagen that helps to maintain elasticity and retaining moisture. Not only does it taste good (just like peaches), it is made of Vitamin and Xylitol which also helps with controlling cholesterol, managing stress, increasing in energy and of course, prevents wrinkles. A bottle has 60 tablets and the recommended dosage is 2 to 6 a day. Its extremely tasty and chewable so you don't have to worry about washing it down.

Overall, the products work well with sensitive skin, but it will take a while to see the effects of the LTA Collagen Troche Candy. I can say, though, that they are extremely tasty and I can't get enough of it. Controlling myself to not consume the whole bottle at once is the one thing that I have to do. It definitely helps that I am tasting something yummy with extra benefits. Although there may not be some direct correlation, my psoriasis has been getting a little better though.

For those who are looking for an actual sales job with this line, they are in search for the top gun sales people. Selling this product internationally, they are looking for representatives all over, but the company is based in Korea.

My Current Obession - It's Skin Mangowhite Peeling Gel

One of the best sellers at It's Skin, a popular beauty brand in Korea is the Mangowhite Peeling Gel. The product is recommended for all skin types that helps to remove dead skin by simply massaging the Mangowhite Peeling Gel into the skin for a minute or two. With immediate results and a great scent, it is recommended for anyone with sensitive skin and or problematic skin like myself. 

On clean skin, take a quarter size of the product and massage it into your skin in circular motion. You'll notice white clumps of dead skin that will form which is a bit disturbing the first time around, but you'll get used to it! Use the product one to two times a week to prevent oily skin. For an extremely cheap product priced at $7, it is a definite recommendation for all. I use this product once a week in addition to my Clarasonic Plus machine daily!


The smell of the product is amazing and it works extremely well, pulling off all of the dead skin. THe only problem is that the product may be a little too strong for those with oily and sensitive skin. It does make your skin a lot more oily which can be problematic for those with acne problems. Nonetheless, it is a product that I would buy again because it can be used on other parts of the body to remove dead skin.

Product Review - Missha Super Aqua All In One Cleansing Tissue

For anyone with extremely sensitive skin, the Super Aqua All in one cleansing oil tissue is actually amazing. It is gentle for the skin and wipes away all makeup with just one sheet. You may need to do a little more work with eye makeup, but it is the go to for make up removing and even if you are on the run. The Super Aqua line is for those with sensitive skin, concentrating on water being their main ingredient in their products. Being that I have psoriasis, finding the right product is not that easy. Initially, my face would turn red with use which meant that I had to wash almost immediately but after a second use, the product just works extremely well with the skin. The best part is being able to find something that works well for a low price because Missha actually has sales every now and then which makes shopping that much better.

The Etude House Black Head Pore Tightening Essence is a handy pen made with Morocco mud that helps to tighten and shrink the sizes of those with expanded pores. Simply turn the cap to ON and push to apply the essence on the problematic areas. There is no need to rinse off and it is definitely recommended for those with oily and combination skin.

Because it is made with natural pure water (with the concept of their aqua line) it is made with 7 kinds of natural water which relieves irritation. It is one product that is recommended for anyone with dry and sensitive skin because it does work. The amazing swirl of white and green lotion makes it that much more amazing as well!

My Current Obsession - Innisfree Camellia Shine Hair Essence

Anyone who knows me knows that I still have very long, virgin hair. The reason for that is because I am looking to donate my hair, but I am so obsessed with taking care of my hair that I did a mini blog on Hair 101 and how to prevent split ends when I first started the blog. For the most part, I really care for my hair and have minimal heat damage as well as minimal combing. 

I recently found a product that I have been obsessed with because it promotes healthy hair. The Innisfree Camellia Shine Hair Essence is one of the best sellers in Korea for hair care. It is enriched with camellia oil from Jeju island. It's for all hair types and promotes a healthy shine which can be used daily. Simple run the product through your hair (I suggest running it through your ends only if you are on a budget). After doing so, you can simply pair with your regular products. Because I do not use any, I just use this as a nutrient to keep my hair healthy.

Like many other products that claim to help keep the hair healthy, the Innisfree Camellia Shine Hair Essence is one product that actually works. It keeps my hair healthy and reduces the number of split ends. Although it claims to provide the hair with some kind of shine, there isn't great shine behind the product, but it works in maintaining. For those who do not have the time to care for your hair by conditioning and using olive oil to soak the hair, this would be a great product thats quick and easy to use.

Over time, this can help reduce the darkness of scars because because you are gently removing the outer layer of your skin.

Beauty Pick Me Up - Skin Food Egg White Pore Mask

The Skin Food Egg White Pore Mask is loaded with albumin that consists of amino acids which is actually recommended for those with sensitive skin. It is a product that helps to close the pores of your skin and promote elasticity while retaining moisture. Being one of the best selling mask products at Skin Food, it was a definite pick me up to hopefully help promote clearer skin. On a fresh clean face, pack on a thick amount all over the face, avoiding the mouth and eye areas. After ten to fifteen minutes, simply wash off with lukewarm water. For those with extra sensitive skin, removing it within ten minutes is recommended. Even within ten minutes, those with sensitive skin may feel irritated and a red color which will diminish over time. After a few uses, the skin will adapt to the product and will not be as red as initial use. Within the first few uses, after washing off, a brighter skin is immediately visible. With use over time, the skin actually tightens. Be sure to use it at least three times a week, especially during the summer time to balance the sweat and oil retained on the skin from the hot weather.
