Speaking of Korean skin care brands, despicable It’s at the top of my list to try because of its affordable price, minimalist aesthetic, plant-based ingredients, and of course its iconic All Clean Balm. I was given the opportunity to try a few things recently and let’s just say they were all successful.
Mandarin All Clean Balm*
Heimish All Clean Balm has a bit of a reputation in the Korean skincare world, and I’ve used the original fragrance-free formula before and loved it. As someone who loves orange scents, trying the mandarin version was special.
When using balm, you will need a spatula as it is solid at room temperature. The packaging is already bulky enough to sit on a small bathroom counter (I’ll admit my bathroom counter isn’t that small, but I don’t like having a small “end cap” of skincare in my bathroom). I like!). Where to put the spatula.
This version of All Clean Balm has a subtle citrus scent and contains bitter orange, tangerine, mandarin, and yuzu fruit extracts, lavender oil, turmeric root extract, and moringa seed oil. In fact, it contains a number of other plant extracts, making this overall cleansing balm one of the nicest I’ve tried. The texture is described as a “sherbet-type balm” that gently blends into oil. I agree that this is certainly one of the better textures in that there are no lumps to dissolve and the transition from solid to oil happens very quickly. It removes waterproof makeup without any problem, and it doesn’t irritate my eyes, which have recently become sensitive. The oil feels luxurious and “full” and has an almost therapeutic effect when massaged all over the face and neck.
Matcha Biome Low pH Moisturizing Mask Sheet*
What’s special about this mask? This lightly scented sheet mask soothes and hydrates skin with cica, allantoin, and white tea extracts, and strengthens the skin barrier with probiotics like lactic acid bacteria. Getting skin care to the right pH level has become very trendy in recent years, but when it comes to skin care, Asians worry about products being too acidic or too basic for human skin. I don’t think there’s much to do.
The material of the mask is flexible and soft and can be folded to fit the contours of your face. As a side note, I also love taking selfies with the sheet mask while wearing Kisfal Scala eyelashes! Looks more real.
Mask overview:
price: USD 15 per box of 5
function: It calms redness, moisturizes, and improves the skin barrier.
scent: light herbal/floral
Essence type: transparent, light and viscous
interval: half an hour
thickness: thin
Mask fit: The material is slightly stretchy, so it fits perfectly to the contours of your face, even if there are wrinkles.
Stickiness: light material
Hydration: very nice!
Other notes: My skin was very even-toned and there was no redness on my cheeks after removal.
Moringa Ceramide Hyaluronic Acid Hydration Watery Sunscreen*
Ah, here’s the good part! Oh, and especially now that I’m in my 40s and getting older, I can really see that we all love sunscreen. I also have good genes, but even among Asian people, I am told that I look younger than my actual age. I enjoy this statement as much as I can! It’s a chemical sunscreen that seems to have a good texture just from the name! This also acts as a humectant, as it contains micro-hyaluronic acid, which is supposed to be a low molecular weight HA, and moringa oil, which increases skin elasticity. I love sunscreen for its skin care benefits, but ultimately what’s important is UV protection.
As I mentioned earlier, this sunscreen is a little gel-like, but it has a watery consistency and absorbs into the skin quickly without any stickiness or white cast.
Final verdict: I loved every product I tried. If I could try more of Heimish’s products, I would! I’ve enjoyed using all of their products and would like to try more sunscreen products.
You can find heimish at various Korean online retailers and if you’re in the US, visit www.heimish.us.
