Not only Father Time isn’t by our side, but our skin is assaulted every day by oxidizers and toxins: pollution in the air, cosmetics, exposure to natural elements like the sun and wind, and bacteria lurking within our pores. Stress and anxiety aren’t our friends either! This all can lead to premature aging. We can help prevent and offset the signs of premature aging by staying active, drinking plenty of water, wearing sunscreen, getting a good night’s sleep, finding ways to manage our stress and anxiety during stressful times, and adhering to a skincare regimen. This may sound advice that has been told again and again for years, but each step adds up to having skin that looks and feels good!

I don’t believe it’s ever too early to hydrate and maintain the skin. I learned the importance of skin care at an early age and I’ve been dedicated to taking care of my skin ever since. Taking care of my skin helps me look and feel good about my age! While I don’t have any qualms about getting older, I do want to age gracefully. Using quality skincare can make a major difference. This is why I love Sulwhasoo. Their products will help enhance a healthier looking appearance while battling the signs of aging. This award-winning Korean luxury skincare brand uses cutting edge technology and natural botanicals that are ideal for various skincare woes. Rooted in ancient wisdom, Sulwhasoo seeks to balance the energies of the skin to deliver a nourished, healthy complexion that glows. The secret? Korean Ginseng!

I’ll admit that I do get apprehensive at times about using skincare products that I’ve never used before. This is mostly due to the fact that my skin can be so unpredictable! There are some days that it’s dry, while other days it is out of control: oily and acne-prone. Then there are the days that my skin is seemingly perfect, with a blemish not in sight. My sensitive skin has always been unpredictable, but it is worse during the cooler seasons. How do I keep Old Man Winter in his place? Simply switching out skin care for products that will help keep my skin looking its best!

Products like the Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Water ($82) and Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Emulsion ($92) are perfect for my sensitive skin! I’ve been using both products day and night for the past month and these products have helped restore my skin to its healthiest state. Feeling soft and supple, it seems like the softness of my skin has reversed at least 10 years. I’ve also noticed that my foundation goes on smoother and lasts longer since I’ve implemented these products in my skincare routine.

Sulwhasoo’s Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Water looks and works like a serum. Formulated with precious Steamed Ginseng Water Concentrate™, this rarefied resilience booster deeply nourishes the skin. This helps improve the texture of the skin and promotes healthy skin renewal. For my morning and evening skincare routine, I use this product before applying the Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Emulsion.

I’ve used a K-beauty emulsion in the past, but Sulwhasoo’s Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Emulsion is the best emulsion I have used so far. It helps keep the dryness at bay by replenishing the skin with deep, long-lasting moisture without a tinge of greasiness. After applying Ginseng Renewing Water every morning and evening, just apply a small amount of the Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Emulsion on your palm and use all fingers to gently spread on your face from the center of the face and outward. The overall result? Well, let’s just say be prepared to be peppered with compliments!

Sulwhasoo originator Suh Sung-whan spent his childhood in Kaesong, a city renowned for the meticulousness of its merchants and the exceptional quality of its ginseng. His mother produced camellia oil there and became his lifelong mentor. Under the watchful eye of his mother and her uncompromising devotion to product quality, Suh learned the value of nature and the importance of high-quality ingredients. Determined to make cosmetics using his childhood learnings and the efficacies of ginseng, Korea’s signature plant, Suh introduced ABC Ginseng Cream in 1966. This coveted cream is now known as Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Cream EX. This was the beginning of the Sulwhasoo legacy.

Fast forwarding to the present! Sulwhasoo has blossomed from a deep conviction in the power of ginseng and the passion for Korean herbal medicinal study. Today, it is beloved by customers worldwide as the holistic beauty brand embodying Asian wisdom.
