I've tried a number Korean skincare and beauty lines thus far, and I see why people become so obsessed.
My most recent discovery, KICHO Cosmetics, combines all-natural, hypoallergenic ingredients (which BTW, you probably aren't getting in your in your current skincare routine) with the most luxurious textures, that pamper your skin while fixing all that ails ya - fine lines, redness, ruddiness, dark spots and other travesties that are trying to take over.
Fight back in the gentlest way possible with KICHO.

Here's a quick look at just some of their outstanding lineup:
Okay, I know it sounds weird, but trust me on this - this sheep oil is 'bout to change everything. And before I go any further please know that lanolin is a naturally occurring substance - kind of yellow and waxy - that comes from a sheep's wool and doesn't harm the cutie at all.
In fact, it seals in moisture like you wouldn't believe, and suddenly you've got the softest skin ever (give it up for cohorts shea butter and collagen too), so go ahead and get close with someone so you can both reap the rewards.
Usually a long list of ingredients isn't a good thing, but here the inventory is chock-full of goodness. Here's just a small sampling:
- Sea Water - Hydration, hydration, hydration. And what better way than to drench it with sea water?
- Beeswax helps soothe and soften skin.
- 11 extracts! From blueberry to black mulberry, your skin is gets doused with powerful, nautical plant-banded antioxidants that protect your skin cells from free radicals and environmental (damage) - read: keep you looking younger for longer.
- Vitamin C from is just one of the many bonuses citrus peel oils (lemon, grapefruit, orange, mandarin) deliver. They help rid your skin of toxins, purify and condition, not to mention brighten and gently buff away sun spots, fine lines and other nuisances.
- Rosemary leaf and lavender oils offer aromatherapy as much as their vast healing properties.
- Derived from the New Zealand's totara trees, this antibacterial superhero contains three times as many antioxidants as Vitamin E that gives you even, smooth skin and keeps acne at bay.
This is just the beginning.
It takes the teensiest amount to make a difference, so that large jar is going to last and last. Even if you do the smart thing and use it all over your sexy bod, you'll be amazed at how this satiny emollient glides across your skin with minimal effort and amount.
And you'll soon realize, calling it an oil just seems wrong. After all, the clear jar contains a formula so creamy, light and grease-free, that softens upon application that it should be instead called "Walking on a cloud."
Dreamy, heavenly and a complete skin revolution, you'll be touting the wonders of KICHO Sheep Oil from the first time you use it, just as I am.
I've tried a couple of Korean and Japanese sleeping masks in the past, but none of them felt like this.
After your nightly cleansing and toning routine (did you know that the new K-trend is to tone seven times in a row?), you take the soft brush (or fingers if you prefer, but once you experience the soft gentle brush against your skin, how could you go back to just your digits?) and apply just a dime size amount to your face, being sure to cover your entire forehead, cheeks and chin (although it doesn't specific this in the directions, I also do my neck because this girl can use all the help she can get) in a thin, even layer.
Just rinse it once in the a.m. And your ready to start your day. Just be aware that you'll be starting it looking more radiant and youthful then last night.
Boasting the same powerhouse ingredients as the Sheep's Oil you now know and love (lanolin oil, shea butter, and totarol), it's loaded with so much goodness, including a ton of luscious oils and what seems like a bazillion bark, leaf and flower extracts that feed and nourish your skin like you wouldn't believe.
Want to wake with smooth, clear, youthful skin that you don't need to cover up anymore? All you need is this wonder.
Note: the Set includes the brush. You can also purchase both the Camelia Sleeping Pack and Brush separately.

- Ultra Moisturizing Sun Cream
I don't like a lot of product on my face, so asking me to add sunscreen on top my moisturizer (thanks to my dry skin, I simply cannot go without) is asking too much. I don't want to be greasy or feel weighted down first thing in the morning (I've got all day to look forward to that). And how one puts one two creams and then tries to apply stay-put makeup is beyond me.
So I was the one you saw in the window last night jumping up and down with excitement. This lighter than air cream is as hydrating as my other go-to moisturizers, yet delivers serious protection (SPF 50+) against harmful UVA/UVB rays.
It doesn't have the heft or unctuousness of most sunscreens, despite an extensive ingredient list. Instead it's overflowing with wholesome nutrients that feed your skin. Sunflower and soybean oils, alongside extracts of every kind - pea, broccoli sprout, alfalfa leaf, gingko biloba, and willow bark - may sound like the salad bar lineup at Whole Foods, but trust me, this salve is just as healthy.

In case that's not enough, here's five more reasons to love this beaut:
1. The fresh floral scent (I'd spritz this on everyday if it were available in an eau de toilette)
2. The pump tube that makes application quick, easy and free of mess
3. You can use it all over your bod, not just face (it's great on hands and shoulders)
4. It's portable, so pop it in your tote, purse and gym bag - protection on the go
3. The clean design of the packaging - white with gold geometric accents. Drool.
