1. Cryo Rubber With Soothing Allantoin by Dr. Jart +
This brilliant two-step rubber mask with soothing allantoin lowers your skin's temperature to increase blood flow and by being made with advanced Korean skin care technology, this Dr.Jart+ product in the form of Cryo Rubber Masks will rejuvenate your skin by stimulating your blood circulation, while reducing redness and dryness. I absolutely love how cooling this is for my skin due to its 85% natural origin cooling rubber mask formulated with Centella asiatica extract.
Basically it is an innovative two-step mask set that is influenced by the refreshing effect of cryotherapy — a process in which the body is “frozen” at -120°C to lower the body temperature or also known as cryogenic therapy, is any form of treatment using freezing or near-freezing temperatures.

2. Real Barrier Extreme Essence Toner
"Nature gives you the face you have at twenty; it is up to you to merit the face you have at fifty."
- Coco Chanel.
Real Barrier Extreme Essence Toner is formulated with 5 kinds of hyaluronic acid, panthenol, madecassoside and allantoin, improving your skin’s barrier as well as being a nourishing toner that effectively moisturises. This toner is especially beneficial if you have dry and/or sensitive skin because this nourishing toner contains the patented MLE Skin Barrier Formula, which uses a complex of ceramides to help protect and strengthen the skin barrier. It is best used after cleansing. What I really like about it is that unlike some skin essence lotions I have tried before, it is not watery, but it does flow like a thin essence.

3. Nature Republic Soothing & Moisture Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel
This product is another great Korean Skincare product that is ideal for all skin types, due to its gentle formula with no artificial colour, no parabens or mineral oils.
It is a hydrating and cooling gel formulated with 92% California CCOF-certified organic aloe vera and can be soothing for puffy eye bags due to its natural cooling properties. Applying a thin layer of gel every night can help make your skin more smooth and firm due to its vitamin-enriched formula, such as Vitamin C & E. Also it makes a great overall body moisturiser, especially in the winter months that leaves your skin hydrated and feeling more soft without feeling greasy or oily. In the summer months, if you get too much sun, you can count on this gel to soothe and refresh sunburned skin.

4. TIRTIR Recica Bio Cleansing Balm
This is one of my favourite cleansing balms that I've tried so far! This oil balm multi cleanser is easy to use since it gently melts the makeup and you can rinse it off with lukewarm water or adding some water to it to emulsify it as well! This cleansing balm removes all leftover skin impurities as well as heavy makeup.
TIRTIR Recica Bio Cleansing Balm contains rice bran oil and hyaluronic acid which helps to clarify and soothe the skin.
The greenery complex (extracts of Lime Flower, Lemon Balm Leaf and Peppermint etc.) helps protect the skin as well.
