REALISTIC KOREAN SKINCARE ROUTINE FOR ACNE PRONE SKIN

Hi beautiful,

Finally, here is my realistic Korean skincare routine for acne prone skin.  It has been 6 years since I started blogging and I am still no where famous 😂 so I am still working two jobs to make ends meet.  It is impossible for that 10 Korean skincare steps with 20 products because most of the time I just want to go to bed right after I get home.

What wait time?  Don't have that 3 hours luxury for my skincare routine.  I started my blog 6 years ago to practice my English and to share affordable skincare products for acne prone skin.  I hope this guide is useful for those that are dealing with acne prone combination skin type and for fungal acne.

Still here is my skincare routine for acne prone combination skin type.

realistic Korean skincare routine for acne prone skin

I have acne prone skin since more than 18 years ago.  My skin is nowhere perfect but I find it easier to live with just or two small pimples than a whole face full of breakouts.


If you plan to get what I use, make sure to never throw everything onto your face all at once. You can easily mess up your skin.  Also check out the ingredients first before buying.

Here is the video 😀

The products just launched on all Althea sites (April 23rd) and there are promotions going on for these products.

So here are the review on the products that I have received which are :
A'bloom Mask Sheets (Watermelon, Avocado, Lemon Lime, Peach),  A'bloom BHA Blackhead Blaster and the A'bloom Meringue Puffs.

A'bloom Sparkle-me-bright (Lemon Lime)-brightening
A'bloom Ac-me-peach (Peach) - acne

The individual sheet masks are really cute and nice.  The ingredients for the sheet masks are similar except for star ingredients.  All the sheet masks contains  25g of essence for those that like to sheet mask longer.  The sheet masks are very thin but hold enough essence, soft and comfortable for 15 minutes of sheet masking.  The fit is good since it has many slits to make it easy to adjust on any face.   As for the size, it is average size of the usual sheet mask. It is not the biggest but not the smallest that I had tried since the sheet mask does have extra and is enough for my jaw.  For my acne prone skin, I prefer the Peach one since it contains peach and tea tree ingredients for my acne prone skin type.  The peach has slight subtle fragrance of cologne.  The transparent essence does hydrate and absorbs fast onto my skin and it is not sticky.

The sheet masks are really very affordable to for the price.  RM2 which is like USD0.50 so you can sheet masks every day.

The coloured highlighted is the one with ingredients in all the sheet masks

Ingredients: (Lemon Lime)
Water, Glycerin, Methylpropanediol, Niacinamide, Fraxinus Rhynchophylla Ocimum Basilicum (Basil) Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Citrus Aurantifolia (Lime) Fruit Extract, Acmella Oleracea Extract, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Limon (Lemon) Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Water, Citrus Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Acrylates/CIO-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer.

Ingredients: (Peach)
Water, Glycerin, Methylpropanediol, Niacinamide, Fraxinus Rhynchophylla Ocimum Basilicum (Basil) Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract, Prunus Persica (Peach) Fruit Extract, Acmella Oleracea Extract,  melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) leaf Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Trehalose,Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Tromethamine, Acrylates/CIO-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer.

A'bloom BHA Blackhead Blaster comes in a cute stick which is easy to use actually. Just apply the stick on the face after washing the face. Then wash off the blackhead blaster with warm water.  It is gentle and remove blackhead painlessly.  However, if you have very dry skin, it is not recommended to use too often.  It has Natural BHA (White Willow Bark Extract 5,000ppm) which is suitable for oily or combination skin type.  I do like it since it does work to reduce the appearance of blackheads.  The effect last a few days so it is not really a permanent one time usage.

A'bloom  Blackhead Blaster Ingredients: Propylene Glycol, Sodium Stearate, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Alcohol, Charcoal Powder, Alba (Willow) Bark Extract (5,000ppm), Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Seed Powder, Melaleuca Alternifolia  , Glycerin, Coco-Glucoside, PEG-40 Stearate, 1,2-Hexanedial Citric Acid, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanal

A'bloom Meringue Puffs (Baby Meringue Puffs x3 + Giant Meringue Puff x1).  This is very cute dessert mkeup puff which are versatile puffs to use dry or wet.  Soak in water until the puff grow in size if you plan to use it wet.  It doesn't leave streak on the skin.  Use it dry for matte look and use it wet for that glowing makeup look.  The baby meringue puff makes it easy to reach the corner of the eyes and also blend easily for detailed application.  It is high density latex free foam and pretty easy to wash.



Overall, A'bloom is a affordable range of items especially for those who just started to learn how to achieve that nice Korean makeup without breaking your banks.  Beautiful makeup actually comes from having a good skincare routine and products to help achieve it.



Special promotions of 10+10 mask and free gift when you use the code ABMASKS

 Yvesom Pearl Collagen Velvet Mask
- Contains as many as 1,000ppm of pearl extract
-Hypoallergenic high-class microfiber sheet suitable for quick-drying sensitive skin
-It is best to use right before applying makeup or an important schedule


Yvesom Pearl Collagen Velvet Mask comes in a beautiful blue packaging one piece sheet mask.

The ingredients are water with lots of plant ingredients such as peony, centella asiatica, chamomile, rosemary, apple and cherry.   There are also many types of oil such as clary oil, basil oil, grapefruit oil, lemon oil, lavender oil,  geranium oil and orange oil.
Phantenol, adenosine, pearl extract, hydrolyzed collagen and also allantoin are for hydration, moisturising and brightening the skin.
The essence is a milky type which is nice for those that just love milky texture  type of sheet mask.

The sheet mask is very stretchable and has silky velvety soft.  The sheet mask adheres well onto my face and doesn't slide.  The size is pretty big for my face but it is probably medium or small for others.

It has light scent of rosemary, apple with lavender which is pretty relaxing.  It doesn't have added fragrance.

As for the effect, I find that it is very moisturising and hydrating.  It does help to calm down my skin and make it brighter.  It is not irritating and non clogging at all considering I use it after I picked my face.

Overall,  Yvesom Pearl Collagen Velvet Mask is a nice hydrating and brightening sheet mask especially for a glowing makeup throughout the day.

REVIEW ON LOVEYDOVEY PERFUME FABRIC MIST IN CLAIR

Hi beautiful,

Today is a review on the Korean body perfume products, Loveydovey.  The brand is from Samchic Cosmetic is from Samchic Hair Salon, which is a famous hair and make up Salon in Korea.

So today this is a review on the Loveydovey Perfume Fabric Mist in Clair that I got from Althea Korea.

Loveydovey Perfume Fabric Mist in Clair comes in a box and the colour correspond the different scent.  This one that I got is the fabric mist in Clair.

The bottle is a spray one which came out in fine water mist.  Spray at least length of 1metre else it will shoot of water on your clothes.  The scent last about 1 hour on me at most.  According the Korean site, it is fresh cottony scent.  For some people, the scent can last up to 2 hours depending on the temperature of the body I guess.  Clair scent is just like fresh laundry so if you like this kind of scent, it is nice and refreshing.

I do like spraying it onto my clothes and into my other clothes for that fresh laundry scent which is comforting for me.  The scent is unisex so anyone can use it.

Overall, Loveydovey Perfume Fabric Mist in Clair is a nice Korean body mist scent which is very affordable.
