I have pin-straight hair, and a scalp that gets oily literally 3 hours after washing my hair and I spent YEARS and wasted so much money to find the best products to work for my hair. I’m putting this all together so you guys don’t have to go through the same thing I did! These are products that I tested and used for at least 3 months straight, so I’m confident enough to recommend them to you 😉

i take my hygiene very seriously, and honestly, i’m a little dramatic about smelling good. i consider my weekly everything showers to be a sacred ritual, complete with the scented candles and a great playlist. with that said, here’s a list of the products in my rotation that i love and swear by!

Thailand • Taiwan • Japan If you’re the type to spend hours in a foreign drugstore frantically Googling reviews for every single product (like me), I’m here to make your life so much easier. I’ve personally researched and rigorously tested every product on this list for over a month before deciding to recommend them. These are the absolute best, tried-and-true Asian gems that are 100% worth your money. 💸✨ A Little Backstory: I absolutely love shopping for skin, hair, and body care, but I am an incredibly stingy spender. I refuse to waste my money on a product that isn't worth it. I’m completely willing to drop a good amount of cash on a haul of multiple products that I know will work for me, rather than blowing a fortune on just one overhyped luxury item. Living in the Philippines, with the weather being extremely hot and humid, I make sure to heavily research the products I want to buy before I even finalize my flights and itinerary. Best believe I’ve watched the videos, read the reviews, and contemplated every single item before it ever hits my cart. My Profiles For Reference: Skin (Face): Oily but easily dehydrated + dealing with dullness & post-acne marks. Skin (Body): Super dry with very uneven skin tone from sun/pollution. Hair: Long, pin-straight, color-damaged (6+ years of dyeing), with an oily scalp & frizzy ends.
