One of the things most people don't realize is that washing your face too often is probably worse for your skin than washing it too little. Too frequent washing of of the face is one of the foremost causes of wrinkles, dry skin, facial lines and other symptoms of aging. You might drink extra water, or change your skin care routine, in an effort to undo the damage caused by this destructive to your skin practice.


It's especially important to be always mindful of our skin condition, so as to not damage it through too much, or too little cleansing. As you age, your skin changes, and your skin care routine needs to change with it. Believe it or not, many woman are still scrubbing their face with cheap and harmful bar soap. As we grow in years, our skin becomes is ever more likely to be damaged by inferior soaps. As our skin ages it loses its essential oils, and becomes more likely to be damaged by soap that scrubs away the skin's essential oils, the oils that protect the moisture and maintains a youthful appearance.


There are many superior alternatives to old fashioned soap and water. There are many modern therapeutic cleansers that will condition your skin perfectly, leaving it youthful and undamaged as you cleanse away the dirt that clogs your pores.

One of my favorites is Kinerase Pro Therapy Skin Smoothing
Kinerase Pro Therapy Skin Smoothing Cleanser is designed to promote exfoliation and skin replenishment. Give it a try. I've found that it works best for me and my peculiar half-asian skin if I use it once a day, in the evening, after I've removed my makeup.

Hi There, Welcome, Aloha!

Hi there. Welcome to my festival of me!

Before I start this thing, let me tell you a little about myself.

I'm Korean-American. I grew up in San Francisco, and lived for a while in Los Angeles (I consider myself a true Northern Californian and am glad to be back), I also love fabulous footwear, chasing the latest fashions, cats, steak and potatoes, chinese food, talking, lots and lots of talking. What more can I say, except, I suppose we better get this blog a-rolling.

As far as this blog goes, I intend to talk about all kinds of things and stuff and such, but right now my current passion is experimenting with skin care products. Right now I'm testing out lots of Mario Bedescu skin care items. Luckily, for me, I’m training to be a beautician/hairdress, so I get lots of things to try for free, and it partly explains why I’m so obsessed with skincare. Well, skincare and hair care. Sort of dual obsession for me.

And now, let the blathering begin!

Hey, Look! A picture of San Francisco. If you squint real hard you can see my house...well, not really. But it's there, I assure you.
