Althea Says: The orchid plant is regal yet sturdy, and when harvested during the winter months of Jeju Island, contains high doses of antioxidants to care for and protect your skin. The Orchid Lotion is infused with orchid elixir to keep aging, wrinkles and enlarged pores at bay. At the same time, it ensures that your skin’s elasticity is restored to its youthful glory and delivers power-packed nutrients to your face, leaving it healthy and glowing. Once applied, the lotion adheres to your face, giving dry skin the nourishment it needs to stay young and healthy.

With Elizavecca’s Skin Liar Primer, you’ll definitely want to try! This skin smoothing primer evens out texture as well as fill out those pores for makeup application that stays put. With a balmy feel and an almost matte finish, this is great for all skin types and helps keep sebum at bay without drying out the skin, creating the perfect balance a gorgeous canvas needs!

The aloe vera used to make this product comes from certified organic farmers in California (CCOF) and is kind to even the most sensitive of skins, making this suitable for all skin types.

Not your conventional conditioner, this treatment has a liquid-y consistency that allows it to apply evenly and penetrate each strand of hair. With raspberry vinegar as its star ingredient, this product has a slight acidic pH that softens, detangles and smoothes troubled hair. Don’t worry about it being too harsh effect or scent wise on the hair as this keeps your tresses both healthy and smelling like berries.

Great makeup starts from great skin – minimize your base make-up with Althea Bare Essentials! With nourishing ingredients and easy execution, this 3-product regime breaks down and simplifies the K-beauty routine for the urban woman. The set includes Contour Cleanser, Primer Water, and Fixer Cream.

Here’s a little fun fact for you: pig noses don’t have blackheads! Hence the mention in the name of this 3-step kit that removes even the most stubborn of impurities. This kit works in three steps to make sure you have clean, well-kept pores: step 1 works to open up them, preparing them for dirt removal; step 2 works to extract the sebum and blackheads (relish in the satisfaction you get when you peel off that sheet and see the dirt come off!); step 3 finally works to minimize the cleaned pores to ensure sebum control and smooth skin.

Not all face cleansers are created equal, and sometimes you just need a little extra help with dirt and clogged pores. Innisfree’s Jeju Volcanic Pore Cleansing Foam is infused with volcanic scoria that has amazing purifying properties, absorbing and controlling the excessive production of sebum on the skin without drying it out, leaving you with fresh, clean skin. We love the luxurious foam this suds up with too!
