I am a luxury brand enthusiast; I admire the sense of dedication in craftmanship. I find beauty from the results hard work can breed. Life is not easy and nothing good ever comes from hand-outs, so I am very intentional about applying myself and rewarding myself…always celebrating wins (big or small) and that is why I squeeze out every drop of my potential to bring out the best me into the world. With this mindset and good skincare, I hardly break-out and I am on the verge of my ULTIMATE Glow-up!!

If you’re anything like me, the quest for that flawless, glass-like skin is always on. Dewy, poreless, radiant — it’s the skincare dream, and nobody does it better than the world of K-Beauty.Â
From calming essences to glow-boosting ampoules, these brands have completely transformed my routine (and my skin). I’m spilling my favourite K-Beauty brands that have helped me get one step closer to that glass skin glow we’re all chasing.
Here’s My Top 10 Picks:
Two decades of wearing glasses my eyes are on another level when it comes to sensitivity. It’s not even a case of itchiness or uncomfortable pain. I mean the constant watering when a small breeze blows by because they have been exposed to a bit of product. I have not experienced this with this cleansing oil. I can remove mascara with no problems when this product is around.
I love this cleanser. It is my go-to. It is gentle and thorough. Leaves my skin feeling firm and clean, like there is no impurity on it.
3.Eborian Yuza Double Lotion:
Between this and the Mary & May Vitamin C + Bifida Lotion I honestly have a hard time to choose but the Yuza Double Lotion does come in handy when my skin is feeling dry and malnourished, I think it doubles as an essence because it just comforts my skin so well.
4.Medic Azulene Soothing Peptide Ampoule:
“God’s tears” is my name for this serum. My skin feels like it can weather any storms that even my hormones cannot win when my skin is backed up by this serum not to mention that the sheer size of it is very generous. I simply love it.
No.6 and no.7 go hand in hand. I am a victim of discoloration. After both my pregnancies I got pigmentation on the peak of my cheekbones, not to mention the fact that I pick on my pimples and leave marks behind. It’s a nightmare but I feel confident with vitamin c-based products in my routine. They visibly lighten the marks
This is practically invisible; I love it so much. Finding this light-weight gem has changed my life. It doesn’t add any grease to my skin, and it doesn’t feel like there’s an extra layer of product on my skin, it is great. Cherry on top, no cast of any shade is left on my skin it just absorbs and its gone.
With all the problems I have with my skin add dryness to make it a whole package. I have tried everything, but my skin will flake by the eyebrows and around my mouth and it is not a good look when you are wearing make-up. This cream has fed my skin with so many nutrients that it is no longer vulnerable to dryness. I can just feel the ani-oxidants fortifying my skin and making it a fortress. My skin is smoother and stronger when this is in my routine.
I don’t remember the last time I wore foundation. My skin looks and feels balanced and radiant. It gives the most perfect even tone, the texture of my skin looks velvety and healthy. Lightweight and breathable. It is magic.
SkiNcolab introduced me to k-beauty brands otherwise I was in the dark. Mainly because I felt it too expensive to order online and buy customs but also because I don’t like the idea of buying skincare without the feel of it.
Neogen speaks to the innovator in me.
The brand puts in so much effort to bring out products that address any and all skincare concerns. They have it all and I love that about them. There isn’t a single Neogen product I haven’t tried and hasn’t gotten an awed reaction from me. In a short period of time, you see results. Efficacy is off the charts with this brand, and I love that they are result driven.
Mary & May
You know, I adore this brand because it is friendly to my wallet. It is very rare to find a French/American good skincare brand that actually works to sell serums for R600.
I mean where have you ever?? The brand is affordable and that’s what every girl needs in this economy and it works. The results are visibly there and that’s why I adore it the most.
Erborian
Eborian speaks to my rich aunt energy.
I have worked half of my career surrounded by luxury brands so obviously I will naturally gravitate towards a luxurious product like this. The smells and textures of the products are heavenly.
For me, this brand is like treating yourself with that one expensive Swiss or Belgian luxury chocolate occasionally and it is always worth it.
