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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
