Currently, I've been having a really DRY and SENSITIVE skin due to the change of weather here in the Philippines. Weather has been cold and it's making my skin so dry and I also have red itchy patches at time. I had a oily, acne prone and sensitive for all of my life so having a DRY SKIN is a little different for me. My skincare products are mostly for oily, acne prone and sensitive ones so I had to switch. Since last month, I slowly added new skincare products that helped me with my dry skin.
Today, I'll share with you some K-Beauty products that I used (and currently using) for almost 1 month. I got all of these products from AMI COSMETIC which is one of the K-beauty leading cosmetic company in South Korea that provides various skincare solutions based on patented ingredients which are all naturals and effective for every skin types. They carry high quality skincare brands such as BRTC (derma cosmetic brand), Pure Heal's (naturalistic cosmetic brand), CLIV (derma-esthetic brand) and essenHERB (naturalistic hypoallegenic brand).
They sent me personalized Korean skincare products that December and I'm still currently using all of these. These products were selected by their staff based on my skin type and preferred products. So let's begin.

I used to think that essence are too oily but this one is not.The consistency is very light and contains just the right amount of moisture my skin needs.

[[My Thoughts]] I only use this 2-3x a week ('coz I've been using the other toner product which I will discuss later). This product feels a little tight on the skin after use. If I still have an oily skin, my skin will definitely love this because it is easily absorbed by the skin. My skin didn't feel moisturized after use which my old oily skin will love. But since I have a dry skin now, I prefer to use this 2-3x a week only just to give back the balance on my skin.

[[My Thoughts]] I only use this once a week especially when I feel that my nose is rough. I prefer to use the IWhite Pore Purifyin Balm on my nose before using this peel off pack to prep my skin, making it soft before applying and to lessen the redness after peeling. It does it job well by removing blackhead and white heads on my nose and I feel like my nose is so clean right after.
