Today I unboxed and arm swatched eleven different sunscreens. Summer is coming to my part of the world, and my part of the world gets serious sun. That means it’s time to […]

Let's bring back the donkey milk! It was a tragic day for my face when the Soo Ae Donkey Milk 3D Moisture Cream got discontinued. Out of all the creams I've tried in the last 3+ years, this moisturizer remains my favorite for strengthening a tretinoin- or overexfoliation-weakened skin barrier. It works for me for day and night and even heals up my very dryness-prone neck in a flash. And it's GONE. But @sooae.official let me know that they'll bring this cream back if they get enough pre-orders for it, and they've taken 50% off the retail price to help make it happen! Follow the link in my bio to read my original review of the Donkey Milk 3D Moisture Cream and to find out where to sign up. And share this far and wide. We can make it happen! #abcommunity #rasianbeauty #abskincare #kskincare #koreanskincareroutine #skincareaddicts #dryskin #koreanbeauty #koreancosmetics #iloveskincare #daycream #nightcream #moisturizers

My Taiwanese heritage is an important part of my identity. Family, food, language, 1990s T-dramas, and my many fond memories of time spent at family homes in Taiwan are all precious to me. Now I'm really happy for the opportunity to team up with the wonderful TaiwaneseAmerican.org to share the Taiwanese skincare products I love, too! Next Tuesday at 6pm PST, join me for an IG Live all T-beauty skincare routine and general chat session over on the @taiwaneseam_org account! See you there! #abcommunity #rasianbeauty #tbeauty #taiwanesebeauty #taiwaneseskincare #Taiwan #taiwaneseamerican #asianamerican #abskincare #skincareenthusiast #iloveskincare #beautyroutine #apahm

Three and a half years after I started using Curology (back when it was called Pocketderm!), I've finally reached peak Curology. My tret prescription is now maxed out at 0.14%, double what it has been for the past couple of years. I'm pretty intimidated but also very curious to see what will happen. I'll be taking it very slow. Twice a week to start, especially since I usually cut back on photosensitizing actives in summer, and until I know how well my skin tolerates it, I'll be buffering it by applying a couple of hydrating products before putting on the tret. There will be many sheet masks and heavy creams involved, and buckets of sunscreen. I've been a huge fan of Curology pretty much since I started using it. You can read my thoughts from the first year over on my blog, including a conversation with my old Curology provider about the role the rest of my #skincareroutine plays in minimizing the side effects! #antiaging #skincarediary #skincareenthusiast #Curology #skincareaddiction #curologyjourney
