By Wishtrend Sulfur Gel Review

August 6, 2020June 18, 2020 by Jolina

By Wishtrend Sulfur Gel is an acne spot treatment. This gel-type cream is made of 3% sulfur (collodial sulfur) and promises not only to help with existing breakouts but to prevent future ones as well.

Battling adult acne used to be one of those things that made me want to pull my hair out and cry. I say used to because happily it’s gotten a lot better since I started my skincare routine.

Now I have go-to products like I’m From Mugwort Mask and Klairs Blue Calming Cream that help me get ahead of breakouts and stop them in their tracks.

Sometimes however, because life, 1 or 2 would still show up out of nowhere. So I was in the market for an effective acne spot treatment. Pimple patches are great but I wanted something that worked faster to zap those zits away.

Enter: By Wishtrend Sulfur 3% Clean Gel. I’ve been eyeing this product since it launched.

So I eagerly awaited a pimple to show itself (weird thing to look forward to, I know) and tested if this product does what it says.

I’m From Mugwort Essence Review

August 6, 2020June 9, 2020 by Jolina

I’m From Mugwort Essence has only 1 ingredient — artemisia princeps extract or mugwort extract — that calms, refines and purifies skin. Is one ingredient enough?

I’m From is one of my favourite Korean skincare brands. Like most k-beauty brands, they look to nature for ingredients beneficial to our skin. From cult-favourite rice toner to my personal favourite, mugwort mask.

They’re cruelty-free, don’t use harmful additives in their products, and are always honest and transparent in their list of ingredients. In this case, there is just one main ingredient. 100% mugwort extract.

Physical vs chemical sunscreen — what is right for you? Let’s break down the difference between a physical and a chemical sunscreen and see if one is better than the other.

If you didn’t know there were two kinds of facial sunscreens out there, you’re not alone.

A lot of us don’t give a second thought as to what kind of sunscreen we’re getting; just that we’re getting the protection we need. We know to get a broad spectrum sunscreen that would protect us from the sun’s harmful UVA and UVB rays.

But it is important to familiarize ourselves with the pros and cons of each type to help us pick the best product for our skin type and our skin condition. The better our skin feels underneath all that sunblock, the happier we’ll be to wear it everyday.

I’m From is a Korean skincare brand that is known for looking to nature to find ingredients beneficial to our skin, from the cult-favourite I’m From Rice Toner to my personal favourite Mugwort Mask.

This time they’re tapping into the power of figs.

I’ve reviewed two of the other products in their fig skincare line. Their fig cleansing balm, which is made of 7.8% fig oil water and their fig scrub mask, which is made of fig powder and black sugar.

This fig boosting essence completes their fig skincare trifecta. It’s made of a whopping 62.7% fig extract. Let’s see what this does for our skin.
