oh{FISH}iee: [BEAUTY] Review: THANK YOU FARMER Korean Skincare Series

If you are concerned about excessive chemicals touching your skin, then THANK YOU FARMER may be a brand new Korean beauty brand worth exploring on. The brand believes in creating products using pure, honest and benefit-rich botanicals and rare extracts for healthy and balanced beautiful skin.

Rooted in the mentality of an honest farmer, the brand refuses to take the shortcut in creating high-performance and effective skincare. Every product is crafted with care to fortify the skin’s natural strength, not for fleeting effects.

With over 30 years of experience in the beauty industry, CEO Nam Kyu-Woo holds onto 3 key values – honesty, earnestness and gratitude – and therefore the brand promises the true beauty that shines over time.

THANK YOU FARMER has been launched in more than 25 countries, and now finally it is here in Malaysia! We are lucky to be among the first to try the “Miracle Age”, “Be Beautiful” and “True Water” product ranges from the brand.

How to awake your skin energy and combat aging? It’s easy! THANK YOU FARMER taught us 3 main steps of skincare:
(1) Tone, (2) Moisturize and (3) Sunblock + makeup.

For steps 1 and 2, we use THANK YOU FARMER Miracle Age skincare range which features 2 key ingredients for whitening-wrinkle correction:

(1) Argan Oil

Rich in Omega and Vitamin E, it helps remove oxygen radicals, the major cause of aging, and prevents cell damage to revitalize lifeless skin.

(2) Ceramide NP

It strengthens the skin’s moisture-retaining capacity and protects the skin from the external stimulations.

STEP 3: SUNBLOCK + MAKEUP

After skincare, you can either use Be Beautiful BB Cream or CC Cream as a sunblock and base makeup. They both contain 2 key ingredients:

(1) Niacinamide and Adenosine

Whiten skin and prevent wrinkles, leaving the skin clearer and more resilient.

(2) Natural Extracts

Soothe and hydrate skin, leaving it healthy and flawless.

How to Use:
❤ After skincare, blend evenly over face using makeup brush for smoother skin effect. Mix with BB Cream for a more natural coverage

Texture:

Both creams are smooth but I find them rather liquid for my liking.

Feel:

Easy to blend over skin for a light and even coverage.

Be Beautiful Luminous CC Cream SPF30 PA++ (40ml)

It is a 3-in-1 functional CC Cream with whitening benefits, wrinkle improvement and sun protection of SPF 30 PA++. Plus, it delivers radiance and glow to dull skin. The shiny, highlight effect is great for the cheek and nose bridge too.

Be Beautiful Natural BB Cream SPF30 (40ml)

If you prefer more natural and matte coverage (poreless skin and smooth complexion), then try the BB cream instead. Similarly, it delivers 3-in-1 functions like the CC cream.

True Water Vita Mist (105ml)

Lastly, don’t forget the vitamin for the skin! One of the signs of aging is dryness, but don’t worry, let this moisturizing mist provides double hydration effects from its rich content of 13 vitamin-enriched ingredients to optimize oil-moisture balance and restore vitality.

How to Use:

❤ Shake well until the concoction is well-mixed, then spray 3-5 times over face as first step of skincare or with makeup.

❤ Use over body, hair, fingernails, and all other rough parts for instant hydration.

Texture / Feel:

When the two layers of clear water and yellow oil are mixed, it just feels like a refreshing mist upon each spray. Great as an instant cooler and hydrant.
