Haruharu WONDER - Black Rice … curated on LTK

Most people don’t need toners or essences, I get it; but if you want to take your skincare routine to the next level, a toner or essence is a must! Adding a toner or essence has been so helpful for my dry skin. I’ve learned to love my Korean essences and toners so much! I’m currently using the new @haruharuwonder_official Black Rice Probiotics Barrier Essence (Milky Essence), which contains a ceramide complex, fatty acids complex, panthenol, bifida ferment filtrate, black rice extract, and galactomyces ferment filtrate. It has a nourishing, milky texture that hydrates and moisturizes my skin. I am obsessed! Why I love Korean Essence/Toner so much ? 1. Deep Hydration: Helps lock in moisture and keeps the skin plump and dewy. 2. Improved Absorption:Preps the skin to better absorb serums and moisturizers that follow. 3. Brightening:Contains ingredients that promote a more radiant, even-toned complexion. 4. Anti-Aging:Packed with antioxidants and nutrients that reduce fine lines and improve skin elasticity. 5.Calming and Soothing: Soothes irritation and reduces redness, perfect for sensitive skin types. 6. Lightweight Feel:Offers hydration and nourishment without feeling heavy or greasy. 7. Plus most are so affordable with amazing ingredients! . . LTKStyleTip LTKBeauty LTKVideo

I'm afraid of dehydrated skin. Dehydrated skin shows more fine lines, wrinkles, and texture. I find that hyaluronic acid works well for my skin. When it comes to hyaluronic acid serum, you don't have to spend a lot of money! You can find great hydrating hyaluronic acid serums at great prices, just like this @mixsoon Glacier Water Hyaluronic Acid Serum. Save your money! #hyaluronicacid #mixsoon #kbeauty #koreanskincare @mixsoon_official

Speaking from my experience, using retinoids is one thing that has significantly changed my skin. I started being very mindful about what I used in my early 30s. Now, I suggest everyone in their late 20s and early 30s use a retinoid product that they can tolerate and use consistently. With retinoids, it’s not about how strong they are; it’s about how consistent you are with them.

I know tretinoin is the gold standard for wrinkles, fine lines, texture, and acne, but I can’t use it consistently because it’s irritating for my skin. I prefer retinal instead.

I’m loving the new @paulaschoice PRO Retinaldehyde Dual-Retinoid Treatment. It has retinaldehyde and adapalene. Retinaldehyde is the closest to retinoic acid, and it works faster and is more effective than retinol for me. It doesn’t irritate my skin like some retinols do. Adapalene is a form of retinoid with many studies backing it as one of the best ingredients for acne. The texture is creamy and works well with other products.

"The struggle of having an oily scalp and frizzy hair is real! I found these two products are the best to combat both. @K18 Hair Airwash dry shampoo is the best I've tried—light and not too gritty, but don't use too much, or it can feel gritty! The new version of @Kérastase Elixir Ultime is lighter than the original, smells divine, and tames frizz beautifully!"

Dewy never goes out of trend!
It’s not oily; it’s dewy! 🌟

Have you tried the 7-skin method? It’s a popular skincare technique where people layer more than three toners, essences, or mists on their skin. This method adds incredible hydration and glow. When my skin feels very dry, I go for this method!

Some favorite toners I use and love:

- @beekman1802 Milk Shake Mist
- @beautyofjoseon_official Glow Replenishing Rice Milk
- @mixsoon_usa Glacier Water HA Serum
- @skin1004official Madagascar Centella Toning Toner

If retinol irritates your skin, have you tried these?

- @Naturium Retinaldehyde Cream Serum 0.05%is a great option for beginners. It’s lightweight, works well with other products, and is also more affordable. It has encapsulated retinal and biofermented oligopeptide that help with skin texture and fine lines.

- @Paula’s Choice PRO Retinaldehyde Dual-Retinoid Treatment contains retinaldehyde and adapalene, making it effective for fine lines, texture, and acne! I’ve been using it for about two weeks, and so far, I like it a lot!

- @Murad Skincare Retinal ReSculpt Overnight Treatment feels like a moisturizer. It contains encapsulated retinal, kangaroo paw flower extract, and olive, oat, and alpha-glucan. This is definitely a great nighttime treatment that helps with fine lines and texture while nourishing the skin.

- @medik8_usa Crystal Retinal has been a regular in my routine. It works well for my skin, but I find the texture and scent not as good as the previous three retinals.

What to do with clogged pores and sebaceous filaments?

One of the best things to use is a chemical exfoliant with AHAs or BHAs. However, if you’re looking to exfoliate and see immediate, satisfying results, try incorporating oil gritting or oil pulling. Massage an oil cleanser into your skin for more than 5 minutes. The idea is that oil attracts oil, so when you massage an oil onto your skin, it helps draw out the oil and loosens the sebaceous filaments.

One important thing to remember about this technique is that you will continue to have buildup unless you also use a chemical exfoliant. This technique is particularly effective for those with oily skin, but it may be too drying for people with dry skin. I like to use cleansing oils such as @mixsoon_usa Bean Cleansing Oil and @skin1004official Centella Light Cleansing Oil.

Healthy Hair Tip: Add a scalp scrub to your hair routine once a week or twice a month. I’m using and loving the @nutrafol Build-Up Blocker Exfoliating Scalp Mask with AHAs and Jojoba Esters & @briogeo Scalp Revival Charcoal + Coconut Oil Micro-exfoliating Scalp Scrub Shampoo.

"Have you reapplied sunscreen today?

My current favorite sunscreens:

- **@paulaschoice 5% Vitamin C Sheer Moisturizer SPF 50**: This sunscreen has chemical filters with vitamin C. It's very light and absorbs beautifully into the skin! I really like this sunscreen. It's great to use under makeup or for reapplication.

- **@mixsoon_usa Mixsoon Centella Sun Cream**: This product contains chemical filters and Centella Asiatica. It moisturizes and soothes the skin.

- **@skin1004official Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum**: With chemical filters and Centella Asiatica, this sunscreen is incredibly hydrating and light! It's perfect to wear under makeup or for reapplication

Using the At-Home Peel from @drdennisgross

I haven’t done a peel before. This is my first time trying this popular peel. I know there are benefits to using peels, but I’m hesitant because of all the peel videos I’ve seen on TikTok. However, I figured I’d start slowly with gentler peels.

**How to Use:**

1.Step 1:On clean skin, use the first step containing AHA/BHA to exfoliate dead skin and improve texture. Wait for 2 minutes and do not rinse.
2. Step 2:This step includes retinol and green tea to target aging and provide hydration. Do not rinse. Follow up with a hydrating serum and a nourishing cream.

The box suggests using it daily, but I’ll start with once a week! The first step feels a little spicy for me!

Did you use enough sunscreen today? According to the American Academy of Dermatology, you need 1/2 to 1/4 teaspoon of sunscreen on your face and neck. This is equivalent to about 2-3 finger lengths. That’s a lot of sunscreen! This is why I always search for lightweight sunscreens that don’t leave my skin oily or with a white cast. The @mixsoon_usa Centella SPF50 Broad Spectrum is perfect. It is formulated with centella, which is soothing and gentle on the skin. It is a 2-in-1 product that works as both a sunscreen and a moisturizer. It gives a pretty glow without a white cast. I love how moisturizing it is! @mixsoon_official

Best hair oil for fine hair!
@Kérastase just released their new ELIXIR ULTIME ORIGINAL HAIR OIL in the US. This has a lighter texture than the original version, making it great for fine hair! It smells divine, and it comes in refillable packaging. It gives a lot of shine and is a good heat protectant. It’s 25 ml less and more expensive than the original version. Overall, if they discontinue the original version, I will probably purchase this!

I’m obsessed with this @skin1004official Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Intensive Ampoule! It contains Centella Asiatica extract, glycerin, and niacinamide. It’s concentrated and provides excellent hydration! I’m always searching for good, affordable hydrating products for my dry skin. You all know I do not want dehydrated skin! I do anything to prevent my skin from getting too dry. It’s currently under $20! I highly recommend this if you are into hydrating products. Your skin will thank you!

How to prevent hair damage:

The more heat you use, the more damage you cause to your hair. So, having a product that reduces the amount of heat you use is great! This spray decreases my blow-drying time by almost half. It used to take me about 6-8 minutes to blow-dry my hair. Using this, it takes about 3-5 minutes.

I do notice the @colorwowhair dream coat lasts longer for me than the @skinproud Hair Proud Glass Hair Heat Activated Spray. In order for these to work, you have to drench your hair with the product !

We know we can’t make pores smaller, but we can use products and treatments to make them look less enlarged. Whenever my skin is dehydrated, my pores look the worst! After using a good exfoliating product, a good hydrating mist can help a lot!

When it comes to hydrating mists and essences, K-beauty is top tier! Formulas are hydrating, packed with nourishing ingredients, and gentle on the skin.

Currently, I’m using these three mists at home, and I’m impressed with 2 out of 3 products!

- @skin1004official Hyalu-Cica Cloudy Mist has Centella Asiatica Extract, Hyaluronic Acid, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Water, Xylitol, and Ceramide NP. It’s soothing and hydrating; however, for my dry skin, this isn’t enough! The mist is not as fine as I want it.

- @aplb.official Glutathione Niacinamide Mist Essence has Centella Asiatica, Glutathione, Hyaluronic Acid, and Niacinamide. If you have heard of Glutathione, its antioxidant properties help with hyperpigmentation and discoloration. This has a milky texture, and I love how hydrating it is. The mist is fine.

- @cosrx Balancium Comfort Ceramide Cream Mist is packed with hydrating and nourishing ingredients such as Ceramide-6 Complex and Panthenol. As you can tell, I love this mist. It’s nourishing and leaves my skin hydrated and glowing. It also has a very, very fine mist.

If you have little ones and are wondering when to reapply sunscreen, these @spotmyuv patches are great to use to know when to reapply. ✨ These patches are not for testing the efficacy of sunscreen; they are simply a tool for you to know when to reapply sunscreen.

I use a lot of @larocheposayusa sunscreens on Xander. This particular one is a good addition, but it can sting the eyes. I use a mineral sunscreen stick around Xander’s eyes.

I spent all my teenage years going to the tanning beds , and now I do everything to protect my skin from the sun! 😔
@coolibar sun hat is very cute. Not like the visor I used to wear! Joe and Xander didn’t appreciate the visor when I wore it to ball games, but they said this hat is cute. 😅 This hat has UPF 50+. It’s good for the beach and the pool. It looks bougie too!

@tocobo_us Cotton Soft Sun Stick SPF50 PA++++ feels soft and soothing on the skin. It glides beautifully without leaving a greasy finish. I don’t like the scent, but it goes away quickly.

.
@hydrinity_skincare HYACYN ACTIVE with hypochlorous acid mist has a really nice fine mist and is hydrating. Hypochlorous acid has antimicrobial properties, so it can be helpful for acne prone skin. It’s also good to use after the gym.
.
@tatcha THE KISSU LIP TINT SPF 25 in plum blossom has a pretty tint and packaging. It doesn’t leave a smooth finish like I wanted it to, but the tint is pigmented.

I’m picky when it comes to sunscreens. I’m not a fan of thick sunscreens and only repurchase lightweight ones. This is why I prefer Asian sunscreens! But these two sunscreens from @paulaschoice are too good to pass up.

💦 Youth-Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid SPF 50 is a chemical sunscreen that is very light on the skin. At times, it can be too liquidy, as you can tell, but it goes on nicely without being greasy. This is probably one of the American sunscreens I repurchase. It does have a strong chemical scent, but it goes away quickly.

✨ 5% Vitamin C Sheer Moisturizer SPF 50 is their new chemical sunscreen that has vitamin C. The texture is lovely—not as watery as the hydrating sunscreen—but it goes on beautifully. It also has a slight tint that brightens the skin a bit. Overall, a good lightweight sunscreen.

Are you a cleansing balm or a cleansing oil person?
I personally like both. Cleansing balm is very soft and luxurious, but cleansing oil is less messy and easy to use.
