Skin Recovery Masque

My favorite product from Yulia, my esthetician, is the Skin Recovery Masque.  I was intrigue about this product from the very first facial from Yulia and have been using this ever since.  The masque smells like pineapple and works wonders!

Directions: after cleansing, spread a very thin layer all over face.  Wash off after 30-45 minutes.

I love this product because you only need very little to create a wonderful smelling mask.  It's not scary looking like other masks (there's a white opaque layer).  It leaves the face feeling very soft, smooth, and instantly brightened.  I try to use this before special occasions.  A bottle can last a long time - I bought this bottle two years ago and only 3/4 way through.  I use this mask about once to twice a week.

Ginseng Astringent

Another product that I love from Yulia, my esthetician, is the Ginseng Astringent.   It's not too drying, has a nice smell, and is effective.  I sampled this product on my very first facial with Yulia and have been using this as part of my daily routine since. 

Directions: after double cleansing, put some astringent on a cotton pad and swipe all over face.  I only use this product as part of my night routine because it's effective for removing all makeup residue.

I've been using this product for over 2 years now and one bottle can last a long time (about a year).   It's been part of my cleansing routine for a while.  I used to use this twice a year but have changed to only using this at night because I find it more effective than the SK-II Clearing Lotion at removing all makeup and cleansing residue.

Glycolic Mud Cleanser

I'm a big believer in facials and have been going to an esthetician in San Carlos ever since we moved to our new house.  I usually go once a quarter. Yulia, my esthetician, also makes her own products (through a manufacturer in LA) and one of her product that I love is the Glycolic Mud Cleanser.  One bottle can last for a year and it's great because it's tough enough to take all the grime out but gentle enough where it doesn't dry out the face.

Directions: after cleansing with oil cleanser, smear on a thin layer all over face and gently massage for 15-20 seconds. I only use for night routine.

I've been using this product for about 2 years now and feel that it does wonder on keeping my skin clean.  I used to use this cleanser twice a day but it may be too drying to do this twice.  Thus, I only use this as part of my double cleanse at night. I switch off between using this and the Tatcha powder cleanser now after the oil cleanser.
