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.

9. Pig Clear Black Head 3-Step Kit (P80)
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!
Ang galing naman ng Althea! No need to go to Korea to buy these items! I tried #5 and #10. They are really good for the skin.
Right! Very convenient diba? I'm also using the JEJU Volcanic Pore Cleansing Foam!
