There are times where I get a bit lax-ed when it comes to taking care of my skin. Whenever I feel like I'm having a "good skin" kind of day, I tend to slack off on the other steps of my skin care regimen thinking that washing make up off of my face is the easiest way to go without  even thinking that it needs some extra lovin' too.

It amazes me how much the beauty industry evolves each day making life easier for us. Aside from the 3 Step Skincare I have shared a couple of months ago, a 10 second Althea Real Fresh Skin Detoxer is now available for us to incorporate into our daily on-the-go-skincare-routines. *screams in excitement* 

Althea together with Get It Beauty  has finally created day and night cleansers that dispense all the nutrients that our skin needs in a count of 1 to 10. 

1. Make sure that every bit of make up has been wiped off of your face. 
2. Put a generous amount of Real Fresh Skin Detoxer on the face and let it sit for 10 seconds. 
3. Slightly wet the palm of your hands and massage your face in a circular direction while it makes little bubbles like a facial cleanser. 
4. Rinse it off and pat your face with a clean towel before proceeding with the rest of your skin care routine. (Preferably the Althea Bare Essentials: 3 Step Skincare lol) 

If we are being more honest, I'm sure most of us can't keep up with the "10-step-korean-skincare-routine" as much as we'd like because we'd love nothing more than to catch more sleep than focus on our skin care.

As I've mentioned a couple of times in my previous blog posts, a solid skin care routine is still something that I am yet to figure out. Yes, I love trying out organic skin care products but I can't seem to find the perfect fit that I can consistently call "my-everyday-skin-regimen."  I'm thinking maybe because I'm scared of combining different brands together that "might" not work out for my skin type. ~crazy trust issues~

That's why I got excited my favorite K-Beauty brand, Althea Korea, has released their own line that focuses on the fundamentals of skincare with the use of not 10, not 5 but 3 products!


A rich foaming cleanser that has micro capsules which exfoliates the skin to remove most of the dead skin cells left by our harsh make up residue. (It has that cool feeling afterwards too!) Not only that it has lemon myrtle extracts which cleansed and tightened my clogged pores, it also has ice plants that helped reduce the redness of the skin while improving blood circulation giving my face that sought after "slimmer" and contoured shape. 


One thing that confused me about this product is that it's formula isn't water-y at all! It has a silky balm texture that I was not expecting to come from a toner. It came as a surprise for me because with just a pea sized amount of product put on a cotton pad evenly patted on my face, the serum like toner hydrated my skin making it rejuvenated in more ways than one. 

Maybe the only con of this product for me is that it kind of gives an"extra oiliness" due to the summer weather here in the Philippines making it a bit humid on the face if you're going to use it before a long day. I highly suggest to use this product before going to bed instead to have your skin prepped and ready for all that make up the next day. ~lol~
