Being part of the Freshly Juiced line from Klairs, it shares the same minimal white and silver/holo packaging. The box for this product is where the holo fits in, however, it sadly got a little bashed in transit. It's intended to help you make your skin looked vitalised and less dull, using vitamins as the key factor to help you do so. I've actually previously reviewed the Vitamin C Serum before but the line also includes a Vitamin E Mask (which I hope to also have a try of soon!). If using in combination with these products, the sunscreen hopes to help you boost the effects of these vitamins while also protecting the skin from UV rays.
The sunscreen comes in a simple little squeezy tube which makes it handy for taking with you on the go and also being hygienic. You're given 80ml of product, which is a fair amount as the majority tend to give you about 50ml. So you've got plenty of product to let yourself get through, so it should last you a while until you need to repurchase.
The sunscreen itself is of a water-based gel formula, meaning that it ends up absorbing into the skin very quickly and not leaving any residue. I find once I've applied it, it actually feels like you have nothing on your skin at all! My skin feels a little softer after application if anything though. It glides and does feel ~airy~ as the name suggests. There is minimal scent involved, I can only get a tiny hint of a gentle scent, but once it's absorbed it's not even noticeable at all. It doesn't leave any white cast at all, leaving a natural finish to your skin.
This has become a product I rely on a lot during the day. Because I work evenings and don't tend to actually apply my make up until the late afternoon, I'm often barefaced the rest of the time. This allows me to protect my skin from UV rays and rounding off my skincare. Even though we feel like we're heading towards a very soon winter here, I'll be continuing using it through the cold months. I'm eventually planning to make a purchase/repurchase of the three products in the Freshly Juiced line sometime in the future so I can see how effective they are while being used together.
So if you're looking for a sunscreen suitable for sensitive skin, isn't going to leave you looking like a ghost and feels like your own skin. It can also be applied over make up if necessary for top ups! This is the one for you! It's retailing on Wishtrend for $23 (£18~) and if you would like to find more out about the Dear Klairs Soft Airy UV Essence, be sure to check out the Q&A on the Wishtrend site.

This is where the Dear Klairs Soft Airy UV Essence SPF 50 PA ++++ comes in. Not quite a sunscreen, but a lightweight essence that not only doesn't leave a white cast, but it also doesn't leave your skin feeling heavy or perhaps even greasy. This is a product suitable for vegans and for those with sensitive skin.

Jinmee / 진미 is a brand new UK based Korean beauty brand helping you follow the K-beauty philosophy of skincare first. Bringing products to let you simplify your skincare routine while also getting the most out of the products you use. Taking inspiration from the owner, Karen Hong's own Korean heritage and the sheer focus on skincare. While the skincare industry is so vast with so many products aiming to help with any skincare problem, Jinmee wants to teach you that the application of your products is just as important as the product itself. They recently got in contact with me to work with them for the launch of the product I'm going to be speaking about today, which they have generously gifted to me.
Jinmee comes from the term best beauty, which I believe derives from the hanja 眞美 / true beauty.
Today I'm super excited to share with you their first product the Hydrapuff, It's very common to use cotton pads along with your skincare, particularly when it comes to toner. But more often than not, you'll find these often quite thick pads can often soak up more product than it is actually applying to your skin. The Hydrapuff aims to reduce product waste (as much as 50%!) and be a multifunctional product. Not only letting you use it in place of cotton pads but easily being used as mini sheet masks to target specific areas with your skincare.
The pads come in a gorgeous box with splashes of bold watercolour, combining it with the brand's signature coral and a little rose gold. Simple but aesthetically appealing!
Each pad comes as a set of two, that can either be used as one on its own for swiping application of products or taken apart in half by tearing down the perforation line to make it two little parts of a sheet mask. You can use as many as needed to cover your face or target specific areas. For instance, suffer from redness in your cheeks? Use one pair of the Hydrapuff pads, soak it in a brightening serum, apply and leave for 5-10 minutes. You will only need a small amount of product for it to be fully moist.
They are incredibly thin compared to your average cotton pad, possibly about the same thickness as a sheet mask before any essence is added, if not a tiny bit on the thicker side.
I have only used these twice so far but am so far enjoying using them and I'm looking forward to trying out different products and DIY masks to make the most out of them and really amp up my skincare routine. I already have a few ideas in mind with what I'm going to use them for and you can bet I will be sharing them with you guys! If you have any ideas for things you think would work with this product, let me know and I can test it out for you!
The Hydrapuff is currently available on the Jinmee store retailing at £6.50 for 60 pairs and will launching in Topshop stores late October!
If you would like to learn more about the hydrapuff itself, be sure to check out their F.A.Q on the site to do so.
Will you be adding the Hydrapuff to your skincare collection?
The watermelon mask aims to moisturise the skin and help sensitive and dry skin feel a lot more noirished and less agitated. I've been suffering from the cold for the last 3 weeks, my skin hasn't had it's usual TLC and just doesn't feel as good as normally would. So this is exactly what I'm after!
INGREDIENTS
As far as I understand this is the correct ingredients list, as I found it incredibly difficult to find the listings for this product with the same ingredients.
Water, Glycerin, Propanediol, Butylene Glycol, Citrullus Vulgaris (Watermelon) Fruit Extract, Isododecane, Nymphaea Alba Flower Extract, Sodium Polyacrylate Starch, Ethylhexylglycerin, 1,2-Hexanediol, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Hizikia Fusiforme Extract, Aronia Melanocarpa Fruit Extract, Caulerpa Lentillifera Extract, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Vp Copolymer, Potassium Hydroxide, Sodium Hyaluronate, D&C Red No.33(Ci 17200), FragranceAs per usual with a sheet mask, after washing your face you apply the mask evenly to your face and leave it on for 10-20 minutes. I usually end up leaving the mask on for the full 20 minutes to get the most out of it. This particular mask fits very well to my face, there are a couple of slits, namely along the jaw and the inner corners of the eyes just to make it easier to adapt the mask a little to suit your face shape and feature aligning. This made it super comfortable to wear and I suffered from no slippage while upright. It has a moderate scent of watermelon without being too much, it's a little on the artificial smelling side but at the same time, also smells quite like an actual watermelon.
There is the perfect amount of essence in the package and it's not too moist to the point that it drips everywhere but there's enough to rub down into your neck to moisturise it.
Unfortunately, my experience with this mask has not been a good one. After taking the mask off, my skin was very red and blotchy and suddenly burning and felt hot to touch. It was just so painful and tight and just didn't look good. It didn't feel remotely nourished and felt drier than it was before I did the mask if anything. Wasn't what I was expecting from the mask at all. I don't normally react to sheet masks or any kind of skincare as my skin is pretty resilient to ingredients and isn't sensitive for the majority of the time. The mask was also manufactured this year as well, so it's not like it was expired or anything. It just didn't work well. That's not to say you will have the same reaction, but this is the honest experience I had with it.
I'm a little bummed. I really like Skinfood as a brand and have loved their skincare and make up for years, so for my first experience with their sheet masks to be like this is a little discouraging. However, I'm not going to write the masks off completely and will possibly give this particular mask or the other versions of it a try again in the future and see if my skin reacts the same then too. It may just be a case of the fact I changed my hormonal contraception this week and it may just be a hormonal difference causing my skin to react in such a way, or it could just be that this mask in particular just doesn't agree with me, sadly.
I hope this hasn't put you off buying any of Skinfood's masks and bear in mind, that everyone's skin is different and reacts differently. Now, I'm away to go and cover my face in aloe vera to take some of this burning and redness away. So I'll leave you with the vine I quote everytime I mention watermelons.
