Which, now that I have an affordable toner... I'm more willing to try.
Layering products isn't something new, but layering hydrating toners is really not revolutionary in my mind. Many toners don't even seem to really have an affect unless there are a few layers applied.
I finally ran out of the Ginseng Gold Flakes moisturizer from Nature Republic which I couldn't stand. November until March, so it lasted me about five months only being used at night. That doesn't seem like a good deal.
Back to Mizon Snail AIO Cream I go!

Workout Wednesdays: Gym Routine Updated!
So, it's actually more like Tuesday/Fridays, and oof! I'm going to miss my spin teacher because he stopped teaching as of last week.
In the morning, I just cleanse using MRCS-- it's a part of my contact lens/teeth brushing routine. Use a dash of moisturizer and/or sunscreen if I remember at that time in the morning (I'm in auto-pilot to get out the door, I don't even remember what exactly I do).
Then I sweat and sweat and sweat. Wipe, sweat, repeat. So glad for the gym showers, really.
In the shower I:
1. Use the generic All-in-One soap in the shower stall's soap dispenser. All over this sweaty body.
2. Ran out of Ma Cherie's travel size shampoo of "Air Feel" and instead use the ALTERNA Haircare CAVIAR Anti-Aging® Replenishing Moisture Shampoo that I got from Sephora's Sephora Favorites The Ultimate Travel Bag that I bought a while back. Honestly, I like and am still using so many samples from that $42 set, and I love it. This shampoo isn't anything to write home about though.
3. Ran out of L’Occitane Cleansing And Lush Yuzu and Cocoa Shower Cream. The smell is really strong, and the product is so YELLOW and runny, but it works like a charm. Got it as a part of the tutti frutti gift set. Have yet to use the massage bar because I simply don't know when I'll be naked long enough for it to properly be absorbed without ruining my clothes or bed sheets.
4. Put "Air Feel" conditioner on the tips of my hair if I feel like it. Since I condition my hair a lot less now, and try to do it only once or twice a month, conditioners last a long time with me.
5. Still have my bar Caolion's Pore Blackhead O2 Sparkling Soap, which still gives me a "squeaky clean" feel, making it not my favorite to use and so, only once or twice a week at the gym.
6. Post shower, I have decanted a sample of the Kikumasamune Sake Skin Lotion High Moisture toner (as pictured on the right) that I occasionally use all over my body at home. Smells like sake for a hot second, but is hydrating and quick absorbing.
7. Usually I just decant some of the Nature Republic Super Aqua Watery cream that I bought for my sister. Lately the bags under my eyes are not fun so I've been using a small sample of Origin's GinZing to give me that extra pep.
8. Lastly, take out my little tube of Biore Waterly Essence sunscreen and spread it across my face like melted citrus buttah.
Anyway, that's an updated look into my Workout Whatever Day Gym Skincare Routine.

Skincare Routine Monthly Check-in: March 9, 2017
Whoops! I'm nine days late...... but I'm pretty settled.
- Water-based Cleanser: sum37's Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick. My sister got the Cosrx Low Ph Good Morning Gel cleanser, and it's a bit minty and I don't care for it. I'm not the one with a straying eye.
- Moisturizing Toner: Enprani’s Dear by Enprani Moistfull Booskin has been given the boot now that I got my sister (and myself) Kikumasamune Moist toner! The pink bottle! Not as big as I thought it would be, though in the grand scheme of skincare products it is huge. LOVE THE STUFF. Sure, it smells like sake and a bad night at the bar for a hot second, but it is hydrating and soaks right in. My sister swears that since she started using toner she doesn't need to layer up on her moisturizer.
- Essence: Innifree's Soybean Energy Essence still going... though I don't know if actually does anything.
- Serum: Been awfully lazy, but sometimes Caudalie's Vinoperfect serum since I have it. Whoa, and I think they upped the price! It used to be $72 USD, now it's $79?! Glad I got it for under $40 in France.
- Moisturizer: Mornings I use Nature Republic's Snail Solution 70 cream as seen in this set. The light fragrance is still nice to me. Almost done using the Nature Republic's Ginseng Royal Silk Essence at night. Can't believe I've been using it this long... but then again, I only use it at night since it doesn't seem to really sink in well.
- Eye stuff: I got a teeny sample Origin's GinZing in a Sephora Play! box and I use it sometimes when my eyes look puffier or more tired than usual. Problem with me, mornings, and eye creams is that I often get the stuff in my eyes and it stings and makes my contacts all blurry.
- AM Sunscreen: My BAE sunscree, Biore Aqua Rich Waterly Essence Sunscreen 50g Spf50+ Pa+++, is still BAE even though I've been using Nivea Sun Protect Super Water Gel SPF 50/PA+++ which leaves my face so greasy I might as well be using western sunscreen!!! How upsetting. Sometimes there are no cheap tricks out of what works. Got to use up the 140g bottle though, oh well!
