Do our hydrating masks actually hydrate?!
Hydration is essential to preserving the youth of any skin type: dry, normal, and oily (oily skin, despite the theories of some girls, can easily be dehydrated as well). Sometimes, it’s so hard to decide if a cosmetic product is a good fit for our skin. Maybe it’s the placebo effect – when we start to think that the treatment is working because our friends are praising it. Or if it’s very expensive. In the past, the effectiveness could be measured in numbers only in the cosmetologist’s chair. But now, thanks to Asians, we can […]
The mysterious Korean multi-step care system
The mysterious multi-step Korean care system – in short (as much as that’s possible). When I first heard the verbiage of “ten step Korean facial care system”, I felt sick. It’s not like the ground fell from under my feet, but I definitely saw a few little green men.
A Delicious Korean Menu for Our Skin
The beauty secrets of Korean and Japanese beauties haven’t been so secret to us for a long time. We all know that the reasons for their beauty and youth are not the mysterious “asian genes”, but dietary habits and an excellent skincare routine.

50 is the new… GINSENG!
I don’t like the saying comparing women to berries. Let’s imagine how quickly berries wilt and shrivel. But the ginseng root doesn’t shrivel.

First of all, there are ladies who live in the countries where winter is as far as the Chinese border. Second of all, fall and winter are important seasons for skin rejuvenation. Because RETINOL. And without sun protection, we will all look like a herd of cute and smooth, but very spotted giraffes.
A kitty beauty box “Milli and Casper”
A new month is here, meaning a new beauty box is ready for my kid. For those of you who doesn’t know about our tradition – to avoid throwing away countless unneeded bottles and testers from existing beauty boxes, I put together my own beauty box for my kid.
September Beauty Box
My kid loves beauty boxes. I love them too, but as an older and more practical lady, I know that a beautiful box filled with colorful papers that we open with trembling from excitement hands, most of the bottles will accumulate in the bathroom as useless clutter. But the money will be spent, while you could buy something actually useful and really cool with it. So the kid and I started a tradition – I put together a monthly beauty box for her.
