@Mariacasino i LOVE my face mists, I have a few different kinds. Do you mind if I ask which ones are your fav? I’m curious to hear how others feel about them 😊

@Sora A fellow mist enthusiast! 💦 For me, it has to have an ultra-fine spray! ​My absolute holy grail for pure, zero-irritation hydration is Naturie Hatomugi (I keep it in a fine continuous spray bottle). Right now right after cleansing, I’m testing SKIN52&CO Collagen mist and I use it every day as my prep toner step, and I also really liked the Anua PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Capsule Mist for a fresh, bouncy feel (I think I'm just attracted to green things probably 💚)! ​Living in Scandinavia with harsh weather, local gentle brands are life-savers: I use a minimalist Nordic mist from IVY AÏA, and a lipid-rich glow mist from Glowid (a Swedish brand) when I want to spray over my routine for an extra cushion of moisture and glow. ✨

@Mariacasino Oh wow lots of good recommendations here thank you! I’ll definitely have to give some of those a try then 😊

@Mariacasino how are you liking the Skin52&Co collagen mist? I tested it as well and liked it. Can leave you slightly tacky for a little while, but the tackiness does go away. =)

@Gabking1217 true, but the tackiness fades fast once it sinks in. ​I've been using it daily right after cleansing instead of a traditional toner, and I've really liked it! It feels refreshing, and the gentle enzymatic smoothing (from the protease) has left my skin texture surprisingly smooth and calm with zero irritation. A really solid tester experience for me so far! ✨

@Sora 😂 We are twinning. I haven't tried the beplain milk balm cleanser yet but it's in my stash. The Hana moisturizer is great too! I have 3 tubes so it hasn't made it to my staples / HG list because I haven't had to repurchase it yet (that's the trigger I use for determining HG). And the most amazing toner pads, of course!

@hazelmoss the beplain milk balm has been great for my dry skin I really think and hope you’ll like it 😊 haha we really are skin twins

@Sora I LOVE Beplain cleansers period! LOL, I have the balm and cleansing foam. I am going to give the oil a try to remove some mascara since Korean mascara is all waterproof from what I have experienced!

@Gabking1217 You’ll have to let me know if it works! How is the cleansing foam? I have dry skin so the milk balm is ideal

@Sora I don't find the cleansing foam to be drying at all. It's what I started off using and have added to my collection. I tried Make Prem and it was okay, not ovely impressed by it. I also have Primera oil to foam cleanser and don't mind it. Oh and Im From Rice Whip facial cleanser too. Favorite is definitely BePlain!

@Gabking1217 Oh that is good to know! I do have the Make Prem and while I dont dislike it I havent really found myself liking it over BePlain so I will have to try their cleansing foam! Thank you for the recommendation

Love your makeup! You’re so pretty! Also I’m going to need to make a spreadsheet too and use yours as a cheat sheet haha

@Sora Aw, thanks! I'm just now learning how to apply makeup. This is the healthiest my barrier has been (recent 🦞🔥 aside), so I can tolerate it better. Plus makeup is basically turning into skincare with pigment thrown in, lol. My spreadsheet needs work! I just discovered that there's NO INCI information for any of my sunscreens. 🤯And over time I developed some different formatting styles. One day I will share it once it's standardized (said the earth sign, lol).

@hazelmoss @Sora I was just thinking I needed to do one for myself when I read yours! and Sora is correct, looking fantastic @hazelmoss!

@Gabking1217 Thank you! ☺️

@hazelmoss I definitely understand that. I like how CYOUNG gives us a note option when logging our skin because I track my flare ups to understand why I'll be doing good and then one day my skin score crashes. It's so helpful to know that its not a product or a bad habit, just a health issue that we can't control. Yes! I always say that the better my skincare routine the less makeup I'll need. And I do like makeup even as a trans man I like to look my best but I'd rather just get away with a BB cream when I dont want to look like my health issues are taking over my body lol Oh man, I'm going to need to get on your level haha. I'm an earth sign too, Capricorn.

@Sora Aw! All of my brothers and brothers-in-law are either Capricorn or Taurus. Since my sisters are all fire signs (but not a single Sag to make it fun!), it's been really nice to have more earth energy around.
