Althea Korea's New Cooling and Calming Products

My skin is currently dry and dull as an effect of my anti-acne pills, Isotretinoin. I'm currently on my 4th month and so happy that I don't get to experience any pimples at all! Though my skin is really dry and has a lot of dry patches. Not complaining though. But during my rest days, I make sure to keep my skin hydrated by using moisturizing skincare products. It Summer here in the Philippines and you might think, moisturizers may feel sticky and icky with the hot and humid weather.
