Top 10 Korean Skin Care Products You Need To Try
Barely There Beauty

Skincare is something I have a genuine passion for. My heart gets all giddy when I see a new product I've never tried before and I probably will never stop until the day I get completely clear skin. Honestly, I probably won't even stop after that. I one day aspire to be that woman whose skincare routine consists of only La Mer and SK-II products, but as a budgeting college student I'll stick to my cheap but satisfying Korean skincare products.

It might help that I'm Korean so I know the bits and pieces of what products I need and use so to help anyone curious of what to start with, here are my top 10 favorite products!

1. Innisfree Facial Sheet Masks

I live for these masks. Or sheet masks in general, but especially these ones from InnisFree. Not only do they fit my face shape and size perfectly, I feel the difference in my skin the next morning, unlike many other masks. I use these masks every other day, which is a lot but thank goodness they're cheap!

2. Nature Republic Aloe Vera Soothing Gel Mist

This is the one product that is always in my routine, no matter how many times my routine changes. I feel empty and incomplete without this product (overdramatic, yes, but true). I'm not quite sure as to why I love this product so much but it does do the job!

3. MISSHA The Revolution Treatment Essence

I have love/ hate relationship with this product. It's in my routine right now and my skin feels squeaky clean after putting this on, the one thing I hate about it is the smell. I can't really describe what it smells like but all I know is that I cannot stand it. But it does remove any makeup residue my cleanser never cleaned so I guess this also does it's job.

4. Laneige Water Sleeping Mask

This is honestly more of a moisturizer to me than a mask. It has a very watery texture and more of a gel than a cream. It's a very thin product so even with it on you feel like nothing is on, which some people prefer. For me I like the feeling of knowing a product is on my face so sometimes I'll apply another layer just to be safe. I apply this every other day I don't use the facial sheet masks.

5. Saturday Daily Moisturizing Cream

This brand, as far as I know, is a fairly new brand. Now that doesn't mean that it's not good because its actually the opposite. This is the current moisturizer I use and I love it. It's definitely more of a cream moisturizer and leaves a slight feeling that you have something on. Not only is the entire product line this gorgeous pastel pink the products actually work!

6. Skinfood Egg White Pore Foam

To be honest I haven't found a foam cleanser I love yet. Slightly disappointing but I'm still on the look out! This one I will say is in my top tier, as it doesn't have too strong of a scent and does an amazing job removing my makeup. It also was suggested by a specialist for removing acne, which I believe does exactly that!

7. Neogen Lemon Bio Peel

This is also one of the products that took the crowd by storm. This is one of the rare Korean beauty products being sold in stores in Sephora. This is a unique product . because its like a toner, which is used with a cotton pad to wipe the face. This specific product is the two mixed into one. Not only does this gauze do the toning and put nutrients into the skin but it also exfoliates the skin.

8. Nature Republic Aqua Cream

If my other moisturizer was more of a cream base this one is the opposite. This one is definitely more of a watery gel base but extremely moisturizing. It has a similar consistency to the Laneige overnight mask but stays on longer than the mask. It also has a cooling effect so it feels extremely refreshing when put on.

9. Son & Park Beauty Water

This is probably my all time favorite toner. This is also a fairly new product but won over everyone's heart. It's not only sold online but also sold in stores like Sephora! This does have a distinct scent to it, its not a bad one but not a distinctive artificial smell. It does a fantastic job removing all residue left on the skin and whilst cleaning it at the same time.

10. Skinfood Yuja Water Serum

Anything in this Yuju line has my heart. I may be a bit bias as I am a sucker for anything citrus scented, but they work just as well as they smell. I've only ever used the serum and emulsion but looking at how much I enjoy the two products I know the other products are equally amazing.

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.
