That feeling when you get off the plane with glowier skin tho – I think that’s one of...

Water is one of the best ingredients for your skin. No, seriously — it might seem like a gimmick but it turns out that good ‘ol H2O is exceptionally beneficial for your complexion. But it’s not like this is plain water from the tap. Cosmetic chemists and formulators are finding exciting new derivatives of super-powered waters from the earth, the sea, and even plants. It’s proof that water can do...

In the two-month countdown to married bliss, there’s what feels like an insurmountable list of of to-do’s. But amidst hunting down delinquent RSVP’s and finalizing floral arrangements, many brides forget to start getting serious about their skin-care prep. Every bride wants to glow on her big day, but you can’t rely on strobing and concealer to do all the work. Here’s the big thing to keep in mind that most...

When J.One made its debut with a Jelly Pack, we were seriously impressed by this out-of-the-box multitasker. A product that condenses your morning skincare routine by hydrating, plumping, and priming skin? What’s not to love? She followed that blockbuster up with the Black Jelly Pack, a nighttime jelly with a more fluid-like texture and antioxidant-rich formula that makes it a high-performance sleeping mask. This yin and yang of skincare promised...

When J. One reveals a new jelly pack, we get all wiggly with excitement. Well, we’re practically vibrating over here because J. One’s new Red Jelly Pack has landed at Glow Recipe and it is major. For the uninitiated, Jelly Packs are single-step, multi-tasking skincare and priming products with (you guessed it) jelly-like textures that many call makeup-grippers. We’ve been longtime fans of the brand, and were so impressed by...

When it comes to skincare, we all have a product personality. You know that multi-masking keeps your combination skin in check, or if you’re the type that needs extra pore purging on the regular. And whether multiple versions of chemical exfoliation is your cup of tea, or for you, it’s essentially an essence kind of thing, your skincare repertoire likely revolves around a hero ingredient. To determine which one suits...

As the never-ending obsession with skincare on social media grows, a commonality is seen throughout: Products with unique textures are the most ‘grammable. Therefore, beauty brands have responded in turn, creating hybrid potions and lotions and even inventing entirely new ones, all in the name of a healthier complexion. But not all jellies nor gels are created equal. Rather, the texture of a skincare product can help determine not only...

Roses get a lot of love, especially around Mother’s Day (ahem, this Sunday), for their sweet scent and beautiful blooms, but perfumes and bouquets aren’t the only way to incorporate the flower into your life. A rose-infused skincare product last longers than a floral arrangement, and protects skin while simultaneously giving it a next-level glow. “Rose extracts have been become popular ingredients to use in skincare products because they have...

After what felt like seven months straight of winter dullness and skin that’s decidedly devoid of luminosity, we’re ready to remedy the effects of brisk, blustery weather on our complexions. To bring out skin’s brightness after being ravaged by the elements during the colder months, it’s all about a simple spring skin care routine. “As your clothes get lighter so should your moisturizer; when you start wearing a cardigan instead...

The universe hasn’t been kind to me in the skin department. My skin is naturally dry and sensitive — I’d often develop scaly patches from eczema as a kid. When I got older, my skin decided it’d be cool to throw some hormonal acne and hyperpigmentation into the mix. I couldn’t win! Or that was the case until I decided enough was enough and actually put some effort into learning...

Any skincare enthusiast worth her jade roller knows that cleansing is one of the most vital aspects of keeping your skin healthy. Even those who do nothing more than cleanse, moisturize, and apply skin protection will have some kind of cleanser in their regimen, no matter how spartan. But cleansing is not a one-size-fits-all practice. We all have different approaches and needs, be it your skin type or your lifestyle....

Everyone has their own personal beauty ethos. Mine, for example, is to spend the most love/time/money on my skin-care routine in the hopes that I can wear less — or even no — makeup at all. Just the thought of ditching a highlighter and using my skincare to illuminate my complexion is a dream come true. And the K-beauty gods have smiled upon me with a new emphasis on skincare...
