Sunblock

Trying different sunblock that doesn't cause my skin to breakout. The following are some I use and have stocked up. Make sure to always wear your sunblock even on cloudy days to protect your skin!

I always pick up a few packs of Biore UV when I visit Japan. I like the texture of the sunblock and it's also cheaper oversea. I have yet to find it in Costco, but if you can find it in store, it's worth the price.

UV Aqua Rich Hydrating Facial Moisturizer with SPF 50 - Biore

So I do use this sometimes. It applies easily, but it also have a very strong fragrance that people might be sensitive to. It would be best to test it out in store if you can before you purchase it.

Nivea Japan - UV Deep Protect & Care Essence SPF 50+ PA++++

This is what I am currently using when I'm outside. La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-In Milk Sunscreen works well and I haven't noticed any outbreak from using it over the year.

Masks

Masks are always handy to use when you feel like your face is dry after a long day. The following are the ones I pick up when I'm in Japan.

I always pick up a pack or two when I'm in Japan. Keana Nadeshiko Rice Mask does a wonderful job at moisturizing my skin. I also use it during travel.

The essence it's soaked in is watery. They are a cheaper brand mask that you can get in Japan. Great to pick up a bag while you're traveling.

Moisturizers

So far, these are the two moisturizers I have gone back and purchases over again. Curel is for morning use and Aestura is for night time.

I like this moisturizer for night time since it layer on thicker than Curel. Sephora has it in stock too if you want to pick one up for $1 cheaper.

AESTURA ATOBARRIER365 Ceramide Face Cream 80mL

I really like how light Curel Face Moisturizer Cream feels on my face so I use it only during the day time. It's soft and doesn't make my skin oily. Bit expensive in the States, but I like picking up the 40mg jar when I'm in Japan.

Patches

Here are the patches I pick up for my pimples. Started buying Hydrocolloid Gel Rolls now to save some money on pimple patches if I'm not going outside. Otherwise, I'm sticking to the Cosrx pimple patches if I'm out.

You can save money by cutting hydrocoloid rolls into patches that you need to use. They work just as well, but sometimes the Cosrx pimple patches works better if you have to have it on and be outside your house.

Hydrocolloid Roll

One of the best pimple patch I've used. I only stock up when needed since they are on the pricey side. I found them in stock at local Asian beauty stores now.

Other Counter Items

Here is a list of other items on my counter top that I use occasionally. I just have it for certain situations.

This is my go to for brightening dark spots due to scarring. A single drop on the dark spot is good enough.
