A comprehensive cruelty-free skin-care brand that leaves your skin feeling wondrously soft and supple, that also happens to be perfect for someone with sensitive skin (like mine)?
Get this name stuck in your heads ladies! Pyunkang Yul (PKY) isn’t your "garden-variety" Korean skin-care brand, because their creations are specially curated by a friggin’ medical skin care research lab! They’ve been doing this for decades. I’m particularly impressed with their dedication to natural ingredients, which means you can now limit your exposure to harsh chemicals, but also get to reap the benefits of maximum beauty. Win-win!
As your resident sensitive-skinned blogger, Pyunkang Yul has been such an amazing find. With hayfever season coming in full swing, it’s important that I have a go-to brand that uses natural ingredients, but can also deliver the moisture that is lacking from my skin.
Essence Toner
Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner is by far one of their most popular products and for a damn good reason. My skin instantly absorbs this clear and fragrance-free toner and leaves it feeling super soft. Seriously, this is just step 1 and my skin already feels like I’ve put on 2 coats of regular moisturiser - an amazing way to start your skin-care routine!
Moisture Serum
Don’t be fooled by the milky texture because OMG this serum is so light! Moderation is absolutely key here because it’s so damn spreadable. Even with the serum on its own, my skin is definitely feeling super soft compared to skin that hasn’t been blessed with this serum.
Balancing Gel
What is this magic?! This balancing gel is so unique because of its clear, honey-like texture PKY created. Out of all the products I’ve tested so far, this one smells the most “herbal” and that’s how I know it is filled with some natural goodies. This balancing gel on its own nearly disappears into my skin and you wouldn’t even know it’s there (there’s no stickiness whatsoever!) apart from the fact that my skin is feeling A LOT softer and smoother than before. This balancing gel would act like an amazing barrier, locking in all the layers you applied on before.
Nutrition Cream
Being one of the more final steps, this nutrition cream packs a punch with hydration and moisture. Even with the other layers underneath, this cream quickly melts and absorbs into your skin without weighing you down. Also if you’re feeling a bit lazy sometimes (guilty), this nutrition cream on its own can seriously deliver you some stunning results because my skin is feeling smoother than a baby’s bottom.
If you haven’t picked up on my subtle clues, PYUNKANG YUL IS AH-MA-ZING! What I learnt is that these products deliver you amazing hydrated and super soft skin, while using the most natural ingredients! It's a triple win for me!

Got Strawberry Skin on your arms and legs?
Harmless but annoying, 'strawberry skin' usually arises after shaving or some form of hair removal that exposes the hair follicle or a clogged pore to oxidization (thereby turning it dark). It could also be an excess buildup of skin or keratin around the hair follicle (i.e. keratosis pilaris).Honing in on what triggers it for you is the key to preventing it in the future - along with the right skincare routine.

An honest Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Aqua Fresh Review.
I tried the viral Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics - and truthfully it wasn't for me. It was just too dewy on my oily ass skin. But I decided to give the new Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Aqua Fresh Rice + B5 Sunscreen a go because it's meant to be for my skin type (oily but sometimes dehydrated on the U-Zone, prone to hormonal acne, sometimes sensitive).

How to repair a damaged skin barrier (from someone who has had to repair their skin barrier multiple times)
Skin irritations and allergies are never fun, but a damaged skin barrier is a whole new level of hell. The good news, is that our skin is a resilient organ and can heal relatively quickly. The not-so-good news is that you'll need to peel back all your fancy skincare for the time being, get consistent with a simple routine, and resist putting any active ingredients on your skin until it heals. You can do it, let's get into it!
