REVIEW: Hera Sun Mate Daily SPF 35

When I'm looking for a sunscreen, I prefer something that is hydrating since most sunscreens tend to dry out my skin.  I also look for broad UVA/UVB protection with a mix of both chemical and physical sunscreen components.  It's a huge bonus if my sunscreen can act as a make up base too, since it reduces the need for me to add one more product onto my skin before foundation or cover up. Lastly, I look for something that won't break me out since I have combination skin that is prone to cystic acne.  Hera's Sun Mate Daily SPF 35 PA +++ meets all of those requirements and I've been using it religiously for several months. 

REVIEW: A'Pieu Essential Source Snail Vital Finish Cream

Aside from just wanting moisturization in my routine, I want a final step that has anti-inflammatory and skin repairing effects.  With those requirements in mind I started looking at products with snail mucin, an ingredient that is widely known in Korea for have skin-repairing benefits, several months ago.  After some careful research, I settled with A'Pieu Essential Source Vital Snail Finish Cream, which contains 80% snail secretion filtrate. 

REVIEW: HERA Aquabolic & Waterin Lines

This review covers my favourite items from Hera:

• Hera Aquabolic Line: Moisturizing Water and Moisturizing Emulsion
• Hera Waterin Line: Gel Serum and Gel Cream

I use the Aquabolic products in conjunction with Hera's Waterin Gel Serum and Waterin Gel Cream - they are part of a full skin care routine. These products are my absolute favourite right now and represent a core part of my baseline skincare routine.  [You can read about my baseline skincare routine here]
