A Good Low pH Cleanser Isn’t Hard to Find (Anymore)

August 27, 2017by Jude Chao 31 Comments

It’s funny thinking about it now, but I actually didn’t get into skincare at all until I was 33. Before then, I typically washed my face with whatever decently priced […]

Been meaning to post a review with before and after photos for the @linhart.nyc toothpaste and hydrogen peroxide whitening gel add-in that they sent me, but then I upgraded phones and realized I wouldn't be able to replicate the exact lighting and photo conditions of the "before." That has caused a delay, but since I'm showing some teeth in this photo, here's a "during" 😬 . The toothpaste has a mild mintiness. Enough to feel fresh but not so much that it feels like an iceberg erupted in my mouth. Per Dr. Linhart, the silica content in the toothpaste is quite low, preventing damage to enamel from abrasion. I add a little squeeze of the whitening gel in the mornings and brush with my @goby electric toothbrush. . The Linharts did send their silver-infused antibacterial manual toothbrush as well. The soft, multi-length bristles on that feel really nice, but I found that I prefer an electric toothbrush. It's a pain to set a timer to brush manually, and for me, the electric seems more thorough. . I'm much happier with my teeth lately than I used to be! I drink dark soda and coffee pretty regularly and used to drink a lot of red wine. All those things definitely left a stain that seems to have lifted a lot. I've used a lot of other whitening toothpastes before under similar brushing conditions and haven't seen similar results. Good stuff. Please keep in mind I'm not a...tooth blogger so am not super knowledgeable on the ins and outs of tooth products. . Product list for this #fotd. PR samples are starred: . Skincare: Cosrx Good Morning Low pH Gel Cleanser, Mutoface Coatigen Repair Gel Cream*, A'pieu Pure Block Natural Sun Cream . Skin: #giorgioarmanibeauty Face Fabric foundation (no. 2) between eyebrows, down nose, and around mouth . Brows: #shuuemura Hard Formula brow pencil, Stone Gray . Eyes: #urbandecay Naked 3 palette, hastily half blended . Cheeks: Snou Beauty Creamy Lip & Cheek*, Papaya Orange . . . . #kbeauty #everydaymakeup #fastmakeup

Cooler temps and drier air mean I can start transitioning to #winterskincare now. Yay! Tonight's #skincareroutine. . #Goodal product provided by @clubcliobeauty. #SNP product provided by @snp_usa. #seantree toner, #Sulwhasoo emulsion, and #sum37 product provided by my job @beautytapofficial. . #illi #hanbang Total Aging Care Cleansing Oil--still a favorite and already almost gone. . #makeprem Safe Me Relief Moisture Cleansing Foam. I don't love it, but I don't not like it. @fanserviced has a new review out on this product, though, so you should check hers out! . Skipping my actives tonight because the high pH Papa Recipe Bombee cleanser I was using has made my skin feel a bit *thin.* . Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum EX in the little mini bottle. . Goodal Waterest Lasting Water Oil. I know it's running low, but don't worry about me. I have a backup ready! . seaNtree Donkey Milk Waterising Toner . seaNtree Hyaluron Ampoule 100, 2 layers. . #HolySnails Great White LE #sharksauce as my vitamin C. The 10% MAP in this has helped restart progress on some old and very stubborn sunspots as well as on general stubborn pigmentation issues. It smells bready, and that is just fine by me. . SNP Everlasting Dual Ampoule. This is a highly moisturizing dual-phase ampoule with ferments, extracts, and oils. I mentioned in my stories that it feels like the more intense sister to the Goodal water oil. . Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Emulsion as serum. . #DrHsieh Longjing Tea Brightening Repair Mask, a #tbeauty product gifted to me by the wonderful @colebiancardi ❤️ . Su:m37 Secret Repair Concentrated Eye Cream . #BanilaCo Miss Flower & Mr Honey Cream in the cute mini jar . Multiple layers of CeraVe on my feet and some novelty socks (not pictured, but maybe in stories later), a slather of lip oil, and prayers to the lucky cat will send me off to bed nicely. . . . . . #kbeauty #koreanbeauty #koreanskincare #skincarediary #dryskin #taiwanesebeauty #taiwaneseskincare #pmroutine #skincareaddict

Happy Friday. I ate these things this week and I'll miss them fondly. #nofilter . . . . #chinesefoodlover #sfchinatown #roastduck #carnivorelife
