Jovana Tomin: October 2020

I know it's October, but that doesn't make wearing SPF on the daily any less important. So, today I'll tell you all about my current SPF to try and inspire you to still wear sunscreen even though it's cold outside.

For a while now, I've wanted to try a Korean sunscreen because I've heard so many people talk about how lightweight and gentle they are on the skin. Finally, I got my hands on the Missha Waterproof Sun Milk SPF50+ and I'm super happy with my choice.

The texture of the Missha Waterproof Sun Milk is absolutely gorgeous. The name says it all - sun *milk*. It's suuuper light and liquidy. It's almost a little inconvenient to apply it because it runs everywhere. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining - I love it! When you apply it to the skin, you don't feel it at all. It's very, very lightweight and sinks in beautifully and quickly. It doesn't leave a white cast on the face and it doesn't feel or look greasy. It almost mattifies the skin, but your natural glow still shines through. I think my fellow oily-skinned people will adore this SPF because it's so gentle, light and non-greasy.

Most importantly: THERE'S NO PILLING! I've been really struggling with my previous sunscreens because they always pilled and crumbled on my face. But I don't have that issue with this beauty.

There's a slight scent to it, but it's not overpowering at all. Even though I'm not a fan of scents in skincare, I really don't mind this one and it doesn't cause any irritation. Though my skin has been breaking out like crazy, it's mainly hormonal acne due to PMS, but I think it's safe to say that this SPF has not caused me to break out.

Another thing I love about this product - the packaging is 70ml! That's 20ml more than your regular sunscreen (or at least the ones I've used in the past). Also, the bottle is very sleek and thin, which is great for traveling.

All in all, I'm happy to say that I am enjoying this sunscreen from Missha very much. It's everything I'd hoped it would be and I'm super satisfied with my choice. I'm really looking forward to trying more Korean SPF products if they're all this great. Have you tried it? What's your fave Korean SPF?

Just like your body, your skin also needs hydration. While drinking plenty of water is a sure way to hydrate all your organs, there's another way to provide extra love for your skin. Using a hydrating product in your skincare routine is a good idea, no matter your skin type. Whether you're dry or oily, your skin will love you for giving it some extra hydration. That's why I desperately wanted to try this ever-so-popular Hada Labo Tokyo hydrator. They claim that this product is Japan's bestseller that's sold every two seconds. Is that true? Well, I have no idea. It could definitely be a marketing trick playing with the consumers' minds, but I would totally understand if it were true. I've been using this Hada Labo Tokyo Super Hydrator for a while now and I think it's time to tell you some of my thoughts about it. So, if you're wondering if this big boy is a good choice for skin lacking hydration, read on.

The first thing I love about this product - it's unscented! I really dislike the concept of scented skincare as I see fragrance as one extra thing that can cause irritation and unnecessary problems. As someone with acne-prone skin, I really don't need to test my skin and risk getting acne and inflammation just because a product smells nice. I don't care about the smell.

Secondly, the packaging is huge! Though there are some more affordable hydrating serums on the market, they usually come in a packaging of about 30-50ml. Well, this baby is three times that! You get 150ml of product that will last you for ages.

Now - the formula. Ah, the formula. It's a wonderful, watery, runny texture that is incredibly lightweight. It feels like applying water on your face, but it's actually a gorgeous product with three types of hyaluronic acid. Hello, hydration! Obviously, the claim of this product is to hydrate your skin, and it definitely does come through and deliver. If you're looking for extra hydration, it won't let you down.

When it comes to the application, it's very simple. I usually use 2-3 pumps and apply the product onto my damp face. When you apply serums on damp skin, the skin almost acts as a sponge and the product sinks in better. I press it into the skin, let it sit for a few seconds and then move on to the rest of my routine. I always follow up with at least a moisturizer to trap in the hyaluronic acid and make sure it doesn't end up drying my skin. Yes, that can happen. If the hyaluronic acid doesn't have another source of moisture, then it will draw the moisture from the deeper levels of your skin. So, I suggest using a moisturizer on top of this hydrator. Normally, I use it morning and night after cleansing my face.

It hasn't caused any inflammation, acne or any other issues you can think of. It's just here to give a little boost of hydration to the skin and make it look and feel happy and plump. My skin drinks it up and looooves it! It's just what I needed to up my skincare game and treat my skin, especially when I'm using acne treatments.

Well, I think that's all I have to say about the Hada Labo Tokyo Super Hydrator. I definitely recommend giving it a go if you haven't yet. If you ask me, I think it's suitable for all skin types and it can only do you good. But because everyone's skin reacts differently to products, make sure to let me know your thoughts on this baby. It's always great to get different opinions, especially if you're thinking of buying a skincare product. So, talk to you in the comments!

Znam, znam znam, ceo je instagram je već pričao o ovom hidratoru i svima vam je dosadio. Ali posle toliko recenzija, morala sam i ja da ga probam, a sada kada sam ga probala, moram da pišem o njemu!
Na pakovanju piše da je ovo jedan od najprodavanijih proizvoda u Japanu koji se proda na svake dve sekunde. Da li je istina ili marketinški trik ne znam, ali ako jeste istina, razumem u potpunosti.

Za početak, obožavam što nema miris! Nisam ljubitelj parfema u kozmetici jer smatram da je to samo još jedna stvar koja može da iziritira kožu i izazove akne. Po mom mišljenju, to je sasvim nepotrebno, ali znam da ima onih koji vole da zadovolje i čulo mirisa. Ja se plašim akni i ne želim da rizikujem.

Pakovanje je ogromno i mislim da se definitivno isplati. Iako možete naći jeftinije hidratantne serume, oni su uglavnom u pakovanju od 30-50ml, dok je ovaj tri puta veći. Dobijate 150ml po redovnoj ceni od oko 2000rsd, a često ga možete naći i na sniženju. Trenutno je snižen i u DM-u i u Lilly drogerijama i cena mu je oko 1500 rsd.

Tekstura je jako lagana, vodenkasta i prijatna. Imate osećaj kao da stavljate vodu na lice, iako je zapravo prelepa mešavina 3 vrste hijaluronske kiseline. Ja uglavnom nanesem 2-3 pumpice na vlažno lice ujutru i uveče. Kada serume nanesete na vlažno lice, koža se ponaša skoro kao sunđer i bolje upija proizvode. Uvek nanesem kremu preko kako mi hijaluronska kiselina ne bi isušila lice. Da, to može da se desi ako nema odakle da izvule vlagu, pa je izvlači iz dubljih slojeva kože. Tako da, krema posle hijalurona!

Nije mi izazvao nikakve upale, akne ili druge probleme. Samo lepo hidrira lice i učini da koža izgleda jedro, sveže i srećno. Pretpostavljam da svi obožavate ovaj hidrator, ali svakako mi pišite svoje utiske u komentarima.
