At the beginning of my review, I would like to mention that I first got in touch with Korean cosmetics about a year ago. I was looking for a suitable routine for my skin. And I came across Korean skincare.
It is principal to understand the difference between a morning routine and an evening routine. It is also necessary to decide how many steps you want to include in your routines.
I was doing some research before I went down the Korean skincare path. First of all, it was necessary to find out the condition of my skin, its shortcomings and needs. Korean cosmetics and their specific routines are not only about using certain products. It is also a philosophy that represents beautiful and healthy skin for a woman. It is an approach to the lifestyle that has been instilled in girls in these countries since they were little. It is their advantage that they do not have time to damage their skin with the wrong products and procedures, as they have enough information and guidance regarding skincare from a young age (13- 14 years old).
For me, it would have been such an advantage to know in my teenage years what I know now, 20 years later.
My favourite part of the skincare is cleansing. I think cleansing is a prominent step in maintaining healthy and fresh-looking skin. And the Korean 10 step routine offers a double cleanse followed by another useful product: toner!
I want to present a product that I apply to the skin immediately after make-up removal: Banobagi Rejuvenating Vital Softener premium RX.
Banobagi products, in general, are literal gems in my bathroom. Banobagi products combine the visual and functional sides.
The emphasis they place on maintaining the first impression and thus on the design of the product packaging is sophisticated, soft, clean with a dose of luxury. Even when you hold the product itself, you feel exceptional.
Specifically, this softener has a beautiful bottle in translucent matte packaging in a beautiful muted blue colour. For me, the minimalist style of the packaging is a symbol of simplicity and uniqueness. The silver lid and the lower silver hem on the packaging also make a notable impression. These materials did not change their colours during use.
The pump works precisely and gently. You can then see how much of the product you have left in the bottle.
Banobagi Rejuvenating Vital Skin Softener is a light moisturizing toner full of protective and moisturizing ingredients. The toner feels pleasant on my skin and has a delicate scent of herbs such as chamomile. Immediately after application, the gentle perfume disappears.
In terms of content, this tonic also contains sturgeon DNA, a dominant and patented element of this brand. My routine starts with this product, and I am never disappointed. My skin remains hydrated, soft, soothed and ready for the next step. It complements beautifully with other products, and the subsequent layering is without problems.
It is a discreet but powerful helper at the beginning of the routine, either in the morning or evening. I highly recommend it for all ages as I dare say that it is also suitable for most skin types.
